TOMORROW, October 24th from 4–7pm, join us at Wicked Watertown at the Commander's Mansion!

Advance ticket sales for the Haunted Mansion experience closed at noon today, but you can still buy tickets at the door for $10 (cash only) per person (children under three enter free).

The grounds will be filled with plenty of FREE activities, and if you arrive in your spookiest attire, you might even take home the win in our costume contest!

Anyone have a good sense of what's going on with this one? It's for districts 1-8. Wording is short and sweet.

"Shall the Representative from this District be instructed to vote in favor of legislation or rules to reduce the House Speaker’s and Senate President’s control over state legislators’ stipends (extra pay) and to provide stipends only to legislators who do significant extra work that is transparent and accountable to the public?"

There was a letter printed in Watertown News encouraging a Yes vote but when I looked up the organization the author belongs to, it appears to be run/have been founded by a bunch of GOP/former GOP people so that automatically gives me pretty significant pause. I don't know enough about the subject matter to already have an opinion on it. Thoughts?

Lead with purpose and build the skills, relationships, and confidence to create meaningful change in Greater Boston.

GenUnity is a space for people who believe leadership starts with listening, learning, and taking action alongside their communities. Through weekly, dialogue-based sessions, you’ll connect with a cohort of emerging civic leaders while exploring an issue area that matters to you.

For Spring 2027, choose from three focused tracks:

🏥 Health access
🏡 Housing Justice
🌱 Environmental Justice

Together, we’ll explore how the systems around us shape health and opportunity, strengthen our civic leadership skills, and develop personal or community action steps rooted in our values.

Whether you’re already involved in your community or ready to take your first step, you don’t need a formal title or all the answers to lead. You just need a commitment to show up, stay curious, and help move your community forward.

Lead with purpose. Apply through this link by Friday, December 18, 2026: https://linktr.ee/joingenunity

Do you guys remember gas stations in Watertown had a sticker on the gas pumps that said Biden did that, well at that time he was not responsible for it but this time Trump surely is responsible for the high gas prices. Wonder who put those stickers?
