Please support our endorsed candidates at the polls on May 2.

​

Brookline by Design seeks and promotes zoning reform derived from a comprehensive and inclusive planning process. This process is modeled after the very successful Somerville by Design initiative that other municipalities are following.

​

To fulfill our mission of advancing a genuinely broad-based community planning process, we have actively sought thoughtful representation from all perspectives. Our extended network of advisers encompasses a broad diversity of racial identities, cultural perspectives, and housing experiences; we greatly valued their support and advice as we conducted candidate outreach and made endorsements. Our endorsed candidates represent a similarly diverse spectrum of backgrounds and perspectives.

 

​Our proposed planning process (Warrant Article 26) passed with a near-unanimous vote at Town Meeting on December 1, 2021. But your support for Brookline by Design candidates is essential to ensure that this process is truly comprehensive and inclusive and completed in a timely fashion.

 

Brookline votes on May 2nd from 7AM to 8PM. You can determine your precinct here. Polling locations are listed here and the precinct specific endorsements, here.

 

In-person absentee voting is available at Town Hall, 8:00am–5:00pm, beginning Saturday, April 22nd.

 

If you would like a yard sign, we have some left. Please request a sign here.

 

Brookline by Design has actively worked to support endorsed candidates. Because we chose a legal form for our organization that provides transparency to the public as well as campaign finance limits, State law prevents large donors from funding our organization. We are proud to be funded entirely by a large number of individual community members making small-dollar donations. Please consider helping to defray the cost of mailings and printings by making a donation.

Even if you have never voted in a Town election before, please let your voice be heard at the polls on May 2.
