I first met Sam Yoon about one year ago, at the January 2005 meeting of DFA-Boston. He and another city council candidate, John Connolly, were the first of many to talk to our group and seek our endorsement. We had a long, interesting, wide-ranging session of questions and answers. Over the course of the year, Sam Yoon came back to DFA-Boston three more times, more than any other candidate. He earned our support and endorsement, and became one of three Massachusetts candidates on the 2005 DFA-List, Democracy for America’s national endorsements (the other two were Pat Jehlen and Gibran Rivera).
This week, Sam Yoon was sworn in as Boston City Councilor at-large. Now that the campaign season is over, he’s coming back to DFA-Boston for an extended Q&A. We’ll find out what his priorities are, how we can help him achieve some of them through grassroots organizing; we’ll let him know some of the things we’d like to see; and we’ll learn more together about how Boston works and what issues we need to explore.
DFA-Boston meets on the 1st Wednesday of every month, at the USES Harriet Tubman House, 566 Columbus Ave @ Mass Ave.
This evening’s meeting, as usual, is open to anyone who is interested. The full agenda is posted online at DFA-Link – read it, and RSVP for the meeting, here.
