About Us

Brookline for Responsible Government is a coalition of Brookline residents committed to fostering transparency, accountability, and ethical local governance.

​

Our mission is to support candidates and policies that prioritize the public interest, advocate for fair and just legislation, and encourage civic engagement to ensure a government that truly serves its people. We believe that responsible government includes standing up against hatred and bigotry in all its forms, both explicit and implicit, against all classes of people. We support candidates with a demonstrated record of consistently protecting minority groups, addressing hate speech, correcting stereotypes, and supporting fact-based informed curricula, programming, and governance. We support candidates who recognize the difference between (1) criticism of a policy or leader of any nation and (2) questioning the right to exist of any nation and/or its people. We support critical-thinking candidates whose decision-making is driven by thorough, thoughtful and ethical deliberations. We endeavor to make Brookline a welcoming environment for all.
