Let’s preserve + fight for more climate progress in Medford

Organizers in Medford have worked hard to elect a majority of supporters on their city council in order to change zoning laws that prohibited progress on affordable housing and clean energy. We’re working to defend those wins so this city can continue to exemplify the way a city can transition to clean energy:

  • Liz Mullane for Medford City Council:  Liz is a skilled fundraising professional who has spent her career working to improve outcomes for everyday people by expanding scholarship programs, medical research, access to libraries, and more. She is an adult educator at North Eastern University and a Ward Chair of the Medford Dems. As a councilor, Liz will expand solar energy use, electric charging stations, and walkable green spaces in the city.
  • Miranda Briseno for Medford City Council: Miranda is an urban planner with experience working at Medford City Hall. She is active in many community organizations including mutual aid groups and transportation access organizations. As a Councilor Miranda will be a champion for public transportation and non polluting transit as well as public schools.
  • Matthew Leming for Medford City Council: Matthew Leming is a sitting City Councilor and a leader of Medford’s rezoning efforts. Mathew is a scientist, an affordable housing advocate and a renter. He will continue his work to expand electric vehicle charging stations and solar energy projects and require old buildings and construction projects to disclose their carbon use in order to get Medford off fossil fuel energy. Matt will also support local green jobs training programs at the local community college to ensure bright futures for Medford’s youth.
