Petition updateHelm No!Calling for a Real Public Helm Meeting
Charlestown VoiceBoston, MA, United States
Oct 17, 2023

The BPDA will hold an online meeting on the Helm this Thursday 6-8PM.

We believe that calling this meeting "public" denies credulity and insults the community. If this meeting runs anything like recent BPDA meetings, then:

  • there will be no chat
  • the BPDA will decide who speaks 
  • only the speaker will have video on
  • we will not be able to see the list of attendees
  • we will not even be able to see the number of attendees

We don't believe that this Potemkin Zoom regime meets the expectations for a real "Public Meeting" or even "Due Process." We urge you to write to our elected officials and ask for a Real public meeting that is:

  1. in person with online option for those who can't make it
  2. at a convenient time and location, in the neighborhood
  3. allows any member of the community to speak freely and ask questions

Write to our elected officials and demand such a meeting. It is not hard to do!

Log in to the Thursday meeting and, if they let you speak, tell them we need a real meeting!
