MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES MARIANGELY SOLIS CERVERA AS CHIEF OF EQUITY & INCLUSION

 

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES MARIANGELY SOLIS CERVERA AS CHIEF OF EQUITY & INCLUSION

BOSTON - Friday, January 7, 2022 - Today, Mayor Michelle Wu announced that Mariangely Solis Cervera will serve as the City of Boston’s next Chief of Equity & Inclusion, starting January 10. In this role, Solis Cervera will lead the Equity Cabinet, which seeks to advance racial justice and social, economic, and health equity in the City of Boston. She is charged with ensuring that work across City departments is equitable and connected to the energy and voices of Boston residents across every neighborhood. “I’m so excited for Mariangely’s leadership in connecting the important work happening across each of our departments with the energy in our communities for transformational change and inclusion,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “She brings a passion for meeting people where they are and getting to the heart of systemic change. As we continue to build our team and get City Hall out of City Hall into our neighborhoods, we must urgently center equity in all of our City’s services.” Mariangely is the proud daughter of a Puertorican father from Carolina and an immigrant mother from Mérida, Yucatán who from an early age taught her that “si caben 5, caben 6” (if 5 people fit, we can fit 6) - a lesson that she has taken with her in every step of her career and personal life. As a former ESL teacher, curriculum developer and coach, Solis Cervera comes with over seven years of experience in English Language Learning, Social and Emotional Learning, and issues of equity and access for 1st generation families in the education system. Previously, Solis Cervera served on Mayor Wu’s campaign as the Constituency Director, where she developed and implemented accessible, culturally competent community engagement strategies within traditionally neglected communities in the electoral system. “I am very aware of the responsibilities this role comes with; the familia and communities I belong to, as well as the people I have learned to call family in this city, who have historically been excluded and at times dismissed by government policies and practices,” said Mariangely Solis Cervera. ”I am honored and grateful to Mayor Wu for the opportunity to help transform the City's practices to ensure every resident has access to the resources and opportunities that they are entitled to. I look forward to joining the administration and advancing the work towards a more equitable city. ¡Pa’lante!”  In 2019, Solis Cervera served as a Rappaport Fellow at the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, where she researched the challenges that children from mixed-status families face in Boston Public Schools through community and family centered focus groups. That experience along with her time serving as a Boston Aspiring Latino Fellow at Latinos for Education shaped her desire to build roots in Boston and pivot into a career of building systems-level change through government work. Solis Cervera holds a M.Ed. in Education Policy and Management from Harvard Graduate School of Education, an M.Ed in Teacher Leadership from University of St. Thomas, and a BA in Sociology and Spanish from Mount St. Mary’s University. When she is not working, you can find Mariangely playing fetch with her cat (it’s possible!), or hosting friends over for a home cooked meal, dialogue and most likely a round of Mario Kart.   The Equity & Inclusion cabinet will actively work to embed a “people first” approach to policy and decision making, as well as city goods and services. The Equity & Inclusion Cabinet also includes the Resilience and Racial Equity Department, the Office of Diversity, the Office of Women’s Advancement, the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, the Human Rights Department and the Mayor’s Office of Language and Communications Access. Together, the Equity & Inclusion Cabinet works to dismantle systemic oppression and remove barriers to advancement both inside and outside of City Hall. This announcement builds on Mayor Wu’s efforts to quickly build a passionate, knowledgeable Cabinet that reflects the diversity of Boston. Other recent appointments include Jessicah Pierre as Chief Communications Officer, Brianna Millor as Chief of Community Engagement, Adam Cederbaum as Corporation Counsel, Jascha Franklin-Hodge as Chief of Streets, and Segun Idowu as Chief of Economic Opportunity & Inclusion. Additionally, Dr. Monica Bharel previously joined the administration as a senior advisor, Sheila Dillion was reappointed as Chief of Housing, and Dr. Bisola Ojikutu’s position as Executive Director of the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC), all serving in cabinet-level roles. Alex Lawrence was appointed Interim Chief Information Officer. Mayor Wu also announced several cabinet reappointments: Celina Barrios-Millner, previously Chief of Equity & Inclusion, as Senior Advisor to the Mayor, Shumeane Benford will continue as Chief of Emergency Management (OEM), Kara Elliott-Ortega as Chief of Arts & Culture, Dion Irish as Chief of Operations, Justin Sterritt as Chief of Administration & Finance, and Rev. Mariama White-Hammond as Chief of Environment, Energy, and Open Space.

Statement from Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Gus Bickford on Geoff Diehl’s Event Tonight

Today, one year after Donald Trump inflamed a brutal insurrection at the US Capitol, Geoff Diehl has a campaign event where he will share a stage with a speaker who proudly joined the insurrectionists at the Capitol. Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Gus Bickford has issued the following statement: 

“Democrats and many Republicans chose to mark today’s anniversary of the insurrection by remembering the heroes that defended the Capitol and working to protect our democracy from future threats. But not Geoff Diehl. Geoff Diehl has chosen to campaign tonight alongside one of the people who proudly joined the insurrectionists at the Capitol. Rather than condemn the violence of one year ago, Diehl is celebrating it. Geoff Diehl is not fit to be Governor."

MAYOR WU ANNOUNCES BOSTON SAVES, THE CITY’S CHILDREN’S SAVINGS ACCOUNT PROGRAM, EXTENDS NEW YEAR’S OFFER TO GIVE NEWLY PARTICIPATING BPS FAMILIES A FINANCIAL BOOST FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S FUTURES

BOSTON - Thursday, January 6, 2022 -  Mayor Michelle Wu today announced a special New Year’s promotion to encourage families of Boston Public Schools (BPS) K2-2nd graders to take advantage of Boston Saves, the children’s savings account program from the City of Boston and BPS. As part of the promotion, families who log in to the program’s online savings platform for the first time by January 31, 2022 will earn an extra $25 for their child’s account. This money, plus the $50 that comes in every Boston Saves account and any additional incentives families earn, can be used to pay for their child’s future college or career training someday.    “Boston Saves provides BPS families a chance to plan early and save even more for their children’s future,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “As we extend the program’s New Year offer through January, I encourage all of our newly participating families to log in to Boston Save’s online savings platform and take advantage of the incentives.” “I am grateful to Mayor Wu for this incredible promotion to encourage our families to take advantage of this great program,” said Boston Public Schools Superintendent, Brenda Cassellius. “Boston Saves is a prime example of how we’re taking an all-hands-on-deck approach to support our students and families in the City of Boston. This program gives many of our families a jumpstart to better prepare, plan and save for their students' futures”. Boston Saves is designed to help families save and plan for their children’s future college or career training. The program eliminates the initial hurdle to saving by giving each new K2 BPS kindergartner an account seeded with $50. Along the way, Boston Saves motivates families to earn more money for their child through regular incentives, and also provides tips and resources to help families save their own money too.       The New Year’s promotion incentivizes a crucial first step that families can take to unlock the program’s many benefits. When a family logs in to the Savings Center, they can: See the money in their child’s Boston Saves account Link their own financial account to the Savings Center to track all their savings for their child in one place Earn more money for their child’s Boston Saves account by taking simple steps like reading with their child, or saving regularly  Since 2019, Boston Saves has provided funds totaling $682,550, including $48,845 in family-earned incentives, to more than 11,000 students.   Research shows that the mere presence of savings can motivate post-secondary success. In one study, low-income children with less than $500 in an account dedicated to higher education were three times more likely to enroll in college and four times more likely to graduate from college.    “Given the cost of higher education, it's imperative we start preparing early for our children’s education,” said Neely O’Donnell, parent of a K2 kindergartner at Beethoven Elementary School in West Roxbury. “Boston Saves incentivizes parents and caregivers with free money for saving and reading to our kids. The earlier you start, the more the money will grow.”   The Boston Saves New Year’s promotion will be applied to the accounts of all students whose families have logged in to the Savings Center for the first time since November 2021, when the platform first became available to current K2 kindergarten families. Currently, all K2-2nd grade students in BPS have Boston Saves accounts. Families of students in select older grades may also have accounts (and thus be eligible for the promotion) if they were part of the Boston Saves pilot program or joined a pilot cohort. See the table on the Boston Saves homepage for complete program eligibility.
