We're committed to meeting and working with our community members to ensure that all Bostonians have the necessary resources and support to have a safe, healthy, and active summer in Summer Safety planning. Historically, this plan was built internally and then rolled out to the public - under the Wu Administration, Senior Advisor for Community Safety Isaac Yablo has prioritized the importance of building a plan for community, by community. Engaging community stakeholders in an in-depth conversation to preview the plan, hear from constituents, and make changes where necessary.
Members of the community had the opportunity to make the necessary changes to the plan, based on what is relevant to their community. Branding the plan to ensure the community is aware of the programming and resources that will be available during the Summer months. Ensure the plan is translated. Members of the community helped to strategize around the branding and marketing of this plan, informing us of the best way to spread the plan by neighborhood.
Hopefully, it looks familiar. After all, you helped us make it! Together with our Community Safety Team and Offices and Departments across the City, all of you—faith leaders and community advocates, educators and coaches, parents and students—contributed to the most thorough summer safety plan community engagement process Boston has ever seen.
Because safety is personal—it means something a little different for every person. To truly make Boston safe for all of us, we knew we needed a plan built by all of us. Safety, justice, and peace are not seasonal projects.
