What’s Next?
It is not going to end. Quincy is long overdue to pay attention. The petition to repeal the mayor’s and city councilors’ raises struck a chord with many. Just think for a moment — there were 6,030 signers to the petition to repeal the mayor’s raise – obtained in 20 days, during the summer and including the July 4th week. A Just Quincy reached so many, but there are still Quincy citizens we didn’t reach. And worse, there were Quincy citizens who wanted to sign but didn’t because they were afraid they could lose their jobs, pension, housing. What might have happened if we had only a week more, or if we had 20 days in the fall?
In the immediate future, we keep getting people to sign the petition as a form of protest (find signing locations here), and we encourage people to write their city councilors and mayor, encouraging them to finally listen (find their email addresses here). The city council can still introduce ordinances overriding the current ordinances. Let’s tell them to do so.
Please weigh in on other possible steps here.
