Our 1st public testimony hearing last night had a great turnout and gave the Councilors a lot of important information. We invite you again to share your thoughts on Tuesday March 24th at 6pm on how the FY27 Boston Operating Budget and Boston Public Schools Operating Budget should be spent.
This day celebrates women and their achievements and also recognizes that, in the over 100 years since this recognition began, there are many barriers that still remain. This day is also an important call to action to continue the work until women everywhere are equal and free.
The #Boston City Council is holding a Public Testimony hearing regarding the FY27 Budget on March 10th at 6:00 PM in the Iannella Chamber.
