The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our diverse working class community puts a spotlight on the challenges that all our families face in times of crisis but also shows how much we can accomplish when we support each other. We deserve a representative who values our diversity, who brings people together around our shared concerns, and who respects the dignity of all. We need an independent leader who will put the concerns of our families fi rst.” Mossalam is the former chair of Malden’s Disability Commission. There, she applied a collaborative leadership style that resulted in the installation of Augmentative and Alternative for activists, and supported local chapters in their advocacy of issues that strengthen their communities.
