Today, the Defenders honor Kuumba—the call to use our creativity to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it. From community stewardship to imaginative visions for truly public spaces, Franklin Park thrives when residents lead with care, culture, and creativity.

🕯️ Kwanzaa Day 4: Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)

The Franklin Park Defenders honor Ujamaa—working together to protect Franklin Park and invest in our shared future. Community stewardship is our strength.

With the City of Boston's White Stadium proposal, a private tenant gets priority scheduling, community use is secondary, and football would not be allowed on the field from March through November.

Watch the video and decide for yourself: who really gets access to White Stadium?

We’re breaking down 4 major myths about the proposed White Stadium project — and revealing the facts the public deserves to know.

If you care about transparency, public land, and the future of Franklin Park, this is a must-watch.

➡️ Watch and share to spread the truth.

The day after Thanksgiving reminds us how essential public spaces like Franklin Park are. Families walked and gathered there freely yesterday—that’s exactly what we’re fighting to protect. We remain committed to keeping the park public, accessible, and free from privatization.

🌳✨ “Our parks are the most precious part of the city because they keep us grounded to community and to our own mental and physical health.”

Let’s protect Franklin Park for today, tomorrow, and generations to come.
