Girls & women

• Excerpt: "Since her first day in office, Ayanna has been unwavering and unapologetic in her advocacy on behalf of girls and women. She has been fighting to dismantle barriers to their development and advancement, and to address those issues that disproportionately and adversely impact them - issues often ignored in city halls and state houses across the nation."

Safe and healthy communities

• Excerpt: "As a City Councilor, Ayanna has pushed city government to address safety holistically: prioritizing the stabilization of families and strengthening communities by working to break cycles of poverty and deeply entrenched patterns of violence, which exist in many forms."

Economy

• Excerpt: "Ayanna believes healthy communities are anchored by thriving main streets districts; affordable rent and home ownership opportunities for people of all income levels; and earning fair and livable wages with access to wealth-building opportunities."

Arts & culture

• Excerpt: "The best neighborhoods aren’t just safe or affordable; they are dynamic and diverse in every way. For this reason, Ayanna is committed to ensuring our neighborhoods are truly vibrant communities. She is a strong advocate for increasing affordable housing and artist space, investing in transit infrastructure (including late-night MBTA service), developing more neighborhood restaurants, and expanding school arts programs."
