Candidates’ Night Event – Wednesday, March 19
The League of Women Voters of Arlington and Envision Arlington are co-sponsoring Arlington Candidates’ Night on Wednesday, March 19 at 8 PM in the Town Hall Auditorium. The event will be broadcast live on ACMi, shown on cable several times before the election, and available to stream online.

There will be question-and-answer sessions with the candidates for town-wide offices: Select Board, School Committee, Board of Assessors, Housing Authority, and Town Moderator. There will also be informal sessions with candidates for Town Meeting before the event, from 7:30 to 8 PM.

Residents may submit questions in advance by emailing envision@town.arlington.ma.us before Friday, February 28. Questions will not be taken during the event. Questions should apply to every candidate in the race and the race should be included in the question.

We need volunteers to help with the event. Please contact Laura Ahner (laura.ahner00@gmail.com) to sign up.

The League of Women Voters will defend attacks against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as part of the national strategic response to the first 100 days of the new federal administration, as outlined by LWVUS CEO Celina Stewart during her address to our membership February 5. Defending attacks against DEI is a Silver Priority.

Please join us on Friday, February 28 as we participate in a 24-hour economic blackout protesting the rollback of DEI within the federal administration. We are activating around national action.

As forms of protest continue to evolve in an ever-changing world, economic blackouts are another way of harnessing one’s individual power and taking a stance. While corporations roll back their initiatives related to DEI, it is critical that we use our collective voice as consumers to stand against these attacks.

If you are able to do so, we encourage you to avoid large corporations and instead shop at small businesses if you need to make a purchase on Friday. You can find a list of suggested corporations/purchases to avoid HERE.
