Have you always wanted to know what your alderman really thinks about poverty, immigration, the environment? What if there was an Occupy.Somerville movement–would they support it, and how?
First Church Somerville UCC, a progressive church home for spiritual seekers, is hosting a Candidate Forum on Tuesday, October 25. Candidates for alderman in Somerville, both incumbents and challengers, will engage in a panel discussion dedicated to issues of social justice, such as poverty, immigration, and environmental sustainability. Courtney O’Keefe, First Churcher and popular commentator on political issues in Somerville (http://www.ward5online.com/) will moderate the event. Sweets and a chance to meet the candidates will precede the panel discussion.
What: Candidate Night on Justice Issues in Somerville
Where: First Church Somerville UCC, 89 College Ave, between Davis Square and Powderhouse Circle
When: Tuesday, October 25, 7:30 pm Dessert meet and greet, 8:00pm panel discussion
Who: Incumbent aldermen and challengers, final list TBD
Why: so you can find out how your political representatives think and may act on behalf of you, vulnerable constituents and the land we live on!

Thanks for posting, this sounds like it will be a very lively conversation!
Also, this lovely spiritual facility’s members invested in accessibility for all, with a no-step entrance on Francesca Avenue, a small elevator between 1st and 2nd floors, and an accessible bathroom on the ground floor. Kudos!
