Boston Democratic Socialists of America endorses Marcos Candido for Lowell City Council District 8
BDSA and Merrimack Valley DSA are proud to endorse Marcos Candido for Lowell City Council. Marcos is committed to being a strong democratic socialist voice north of Boston, breaking with the Council's complacency and obstruction and instead championing a transformation of housing, immigrant rights, and urban planning.
Growing up in an under-resourced city as a son of immigrants, and as a former NIH researcher and union organizer, Marcos understands the struggles of working families. He is committed to taking on the housing crisis driven by the real estate industry and improving public transit and accessible infrastructure in Lowell.
While the current Lowell City Council has cut funds for education and public health to increase the police budget, Marcos has a plan to build affordable housing, fully fund public schools, improve public transit, and guarantee transparency at Lowell City Hall.

OPPOSE POLICY ORDER #3
PEOPLE SURVIVING POVERTY OUTSIDE IN CAMBRIDGE NEED CARE, NOT COPS!
PO #3 TARGETS A SPECIFIC GROUP OF OUTSIDE SLEEPERS AND ASKS FOR
"ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT TOOLS"
ACROSS THE CITY.
IT IS APPALLING THAT MAYOR SIMMONS WOULD INTRODUCE THIS ORDER LESS THAN ONE WEEK AFTER TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER CALLING ON CITIES TO CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS!
THIS COMES JUST ONE MONTH AFTER THE COUNCIL'S UNJUST DECISION TO CLOSE A 58-BED HOMELESS SHELTER.
IF OUR NEIGHBORS HAD SHELTER, MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING OUTSIDE!

We need Ayah to win this year! She came close last time and I would love for her to win. No offense to any other candidates of her generation that are running for office but she is more than being young as I know that she is a great leader already no matter how old she is.

These ineffective and inhumane methods, all to apprehend one man experiencing a mental health crisis, put our entire community at risk. CPD would rather use their bloated budget to enforce militarism than community safety. Shame on CPD!

The Cambridge Police (still exclusively on X, naturally) are furiously spinning this debacle. After hours of antagonizing community members, they teargassed a low-income apartment building with NO WARNING. An elderly resident & a baby were sent to the hospital, and dozens suffered while CPD watched.
