Yesterday we told you how much we love students and the and School of Masschusetts campaigns.
Today we wanted to highlight the work of some exceptional Boston University students.
During the primary election on September 14th, some Boston University students were wrongly turned away at the polls by election workers. Boston University Student Union City Affairs Director James Boggie and Student Union Representative Amy Mahler did not take this sitting down.
Knowing how much their fellow students want to be involved in political and civic Boston, they took the time to meet with Boston Election Department officials Geraldine Cuddyer, Shawn Burke, Martin Kain, and Alan Rooney, with whom they are building what promises to be a productive and positive partnership.
So, a big ONEin3 thank you and round of applause to James and Amy for their perseverence and commitment to Boston and also to the Boston Election Department for their collaborative spirit and the deserved respect they showed to these two student leaders.
And this is why we need to have a parade to honor our students…they are the bomb!

Nice work! I’ve heard some state reps don’t really want students to register here and vote, so keep up the fight.
