Whenever I've asked blackjew 🏳️‍⚧️ about who would be the best person to talk about some progressive initiative in Worcester, the answer is always Etel. Excited that we'll be honoring Etel Haxhiaj (ha-jee-eye)! #mapoli

'Etel Haxhiaj works to live in a world where children aren't endangered by cars, where people aren't shivering in tents in winter, and where every single one of us is valued.

So looking forward to honoring Holly Ryan along with all the honorees!

Thank you so much Progressive Mass for this honor. I know I am not alone in this work.
