Virtually Somerville with Councilor Willie Burnley

Virtually Somerville with Councilor Willie Burnley  
An introduction to and then Q&A with the candidate for re-election Councilor-at-large Willie Burnley.

 
Willie Burnley Jr. grew up in San Diego in a diverse, working class neighborhood. He lived with his father, a unionized pipefitter and former Marine.   Moved to Boston to attend Emerson College.  Became the first in his family to graduate with a four-year degree.

Since then, he has organized against evictions with Community Action Agency of Somerville;  fought for permanently affordable housing with the Somerville Community Land Trust; worked for the re-election of  Senators Warren and Markey; been a union steward, founded Defund SPD; stood with unions locally, and fought for justice internationally.

His website says he is “a writer, renter, and community organizer.  In his short time on the council, Willie has passed more laws than any of his colleagues; expanded rights for tenants and workers; increased protections for LGBTQ+ folks, and passed first-in-the nation non-discrimination ordinances.  At the same time, he has remained a consistent and vocal voice for transforming public safety by uplifting the calls to end overdose deaths in our community through Supervised Consumption Sites, abolishing medical debt using City funds, and creating unarmed alternative emergency response programs to deal with non-violent issues to replace harm with healing.”

"VIRTUALLY SOMERVILLE" SERIES: This fall, the Chamber’s series seeks to bring you one hour with each one of Somerville’s candidates for City Councilor-at-large.  Each guest’s introductory remarks are followed by audience questions and answers.
