Upcoming Events
The BTU and our partners from the Boston Education Justice Alliance (BEJA) are hosting virtual candidate forums so that members can hear directly from candidates about the issues that matter most to our members. These forums are open to anyone in the community. You can attend by Zoom or watch them on the BTU's Facebook Page. Check out the flyers below and register today!
Mayoral Forum Series: We have partnered with a number of other civic and labor organizations from Boston to create a six-forum series for mayoral candidates. Starting on May 6 and going through June 10, each Thursday we will tackle a different topic in our fight for racial, gender, and economic justice. We will be hosting the Education forum of this series on May 27. To register, go to the Boston Mayoral Forums homepage.
City Council: We will also be hosting two City Council forums, one for District 4 on May 18 and another for the At-Large candidates on May 25, both 6:00-7:30PM. This forum will focus primarily on education but also highlight other issues that our members have indicated are important to them.
