All Went Well at The 2025 Ward 5 Democratic Caucus.

On Saturday morning, April 5th, Ward 5 members, and other registered voters in Ward 5, gathered at Old South Church on Boylston Street to elect delegates for the 2025 Massachusetts Democratic Convention, on Saturday, September 13th, at the MassMutual Center in Springfield. Eleven women and six men were chosen.

Speakers included State Senator Lydia Edwards; City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune; State Representatives Jay Livingstone and Dan Ryan; City Councilors Henry Santana and Sharon Durkan, and Alexandra Valdez, who's running for City Councilor At-Large. Mohamed Missouri, a senior advisor to Michelle Wu, stepped in for the mayor, who was launching her reelection campaign at the Cyclorama in the South End.

Tens of Thousands Take a Stand at Hands Off!

Also on April 5th, Ward 5 members headed to Boston Common for the HandsOff! demonstration. Despite the rain, an estimated 30,000 people joined the event, one of 1,100+ that took place in cities and towns around the country. The massive crowd marched peacefully to City Hall to hear from Senator Ed Markey, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Mayor Wu, and others.

As many as five million Americans showed up to raise their voices about the coup that is destroying the U.S. and our alliances around the world. More demonstrations are planned for this spring and summer.
