Importantly, Question 3 is a non-binding resolution. Burnley, Jr. is a stalwart defender of Palestinian freedom, who has spoken in favor of the resolution, and pledges to follow it if passed. (His opponent, Jake Wilson, opposes the resolution.)
Democracy is not divisiveness. If the people tell their leads to divest from Israel's illegal occupation, apartheid, and genocide, then their leaders should do it. I have stood up time and time again for the rights of our residents and, as mayor, I will work to safeguard and expand those rights.

Somerville for Palestine endorses Willie Burnley, Jr. for Mayor, and a Yes vote on Question 3, which would instruct the city to divest from businesses that sustain Israel’s enactment of apartheid, genocide, and occupation of Palestine.

Understood. I just hope we don't elect a pro-sweeps mayor. If we do, then councilors' understanding of this issue won't be enough to shift city policy in a direction that actually treats our unhoused neighbors with dignity and respect.

Councilors in Somerville don't have direct authority over this. But the Mayor does. Unfortunately, one of our two mayoral candidates, @jake4somerville.bsky.social, supports sweeps.
