Congratulations To Our All Our Endorsed Candidates!

With historic turnout levels for a May election Brookline voters spoke loudly and clearly for progress, for change, and for investing in our community. Both our endorsed candidates for Select Board, Amanda Zimmerman and Anthony Buono will join the Select Board. YES for the override won by a resounding 60% of the vote. Our own Jonathan Klein was elected to serve on the Brookline Housing Authority. And 95.5% of our endorsed candidates for Town Meeting were victorious on Tuesday.

Most importantly, we want to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU!

Victories like this don’t happen without YOU. Since Brookline for Everyone was founded in winter 2019, in every election our community has grown, making this work both better and more fun.

Brookline for Everyone

Brookline for Everyone is a grassroots organization of Brookline residents who want Brookline to be environmentally sustainable, economically thriving, and racially inclusive. To accomplish these goals, Brookline needs more housing—affordable housing, subsidized housing, work-force housing, and market rate housing.

Our people, our schools and our businesses will flourish when Brookline changes our zoning codes to permit the development of compact, walkable neighborhoods with homes at all income levels near public transit.

Brookline Village, Brookine for Everyone

Our problem is not unique. Brookline and the Boston metro area are experiencing a housing shortage, and we in Brookline must do our part to address this crisis.

St Aidens, Brookline for Everyone

Brookline needs more housing – affordable housing, subsidized housing, work-force housing, and market rate housing – and the town’s zoning policy needs to allow this housing growth by right.

Hall's Pond, Brookline for Everyone

Want to make a difference? Join us in creating a “Brookline for Everyone” that is diverse, inclusive, welcoming, affordable, and sustainable.
