The event will create space for Vineyard residents to have a conversation with James about the rising cost of living, housing access, and the economic realities impacting the Island and towns across the Commonwealth.

James, who is running a grassroots campaign, has visited communities statewide to hear from residents and create a campaign and solutions focused on the needs of the people, especially working families struggling to make ends meet.

“Too many people who live and work on Island are being priced out,” said Andrea James. “We can’t keep asking people to hold this place together without giving them a real path to stay. I’m showing up to listen first, and to talk honestly about what it will take to make Massachusetts work for the people who call it home.”

The conversation will also focus on the need for universal healthcare, childcare, and protecting our neighbors from ICE.

The event is free and open to the public. Space is limited. While registration is not required, we strongly encourage you to register to confirm your attendance. Join the conversation, your voice matters.
