Why: 
“Working families across Boston and beyond are recovering from a pandemic that brought unprecedented devastation,” said Darlene Lombos, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, Greater Boston Labor Council (GBLC), and the host of this week’s forum. “This forum is an opportunity for candidates to outline how they will show up for and support working families. We want the next Mayor of Boston to take bold steps to re-envision and shape the future our communities deserve. We are looking forward to hearing from the candidates on how we can achieve that.”
