Worcester MA USA | Worcester, MA
City of Worcester, Massachusetts Looks like it you’ve all started to activate Gen Z. Expect this election cycle to be especially bad since you can’t rely on your regular boomer turn out to sustain your decades long incompetence.
If you thought the millennials have been giving you a hard time be prepared to see how much this generation flanks and overwhelms the polls.
We’re tired and coming to take control of our local government. It’s our city.
We’ve been building businesses, communities, brands, partnerships, and followings. Pushing through despite being starved of opportunity.
Everything that happens in Worcester we know about instantly.
Every failed promise.
Every broken dream.
A destroyed housing market. So many of us born here will probably never own a home here.
Predatory landlords that have had their mortgages paid off for over 30 years making us pay thousands to live in destroyed apartments. With rent increases every single year on top of that with no improvement to the property or our quality of living.
Police violence.
Worcester Police Department (Official)
We grew up with the gangunit manhandling and beating on middle schoolers.
Worcester Public Schools - Worcester, MA
Grew up with alcoholic assistant principals blatantly calling us assholes and failures.
A school to prison pipeline unlike any other in the entirety of the commonwealth. Corruption to the highest degree.
We know who and what Worcester is behind the smiley face. It isn’t the city that reads. It isn’t the heart of the commonwealth.
It’s segregated classrooms using a veil of “lifeskills” vs “behavioral” where the former was filled with white boys and girls while the latter was filled with black and brown boys. Vulnerable boys systematically funneled away from academic prosperity and propelled into gang violence with teachers who functioned more as prison guards than educators.
The alternative schools; Woodward Day, Saint Casmir, CSC, Fanning, and more. Dens of dysfunction. Our trust in the system crushed under how small we felt. How little we mattered.
The sex scandals. The predators. The fraud. Ignoring our mental health. Disregarding bullying. The theft. All the skeletons in your closet have affected us all in one way or another. We lived it.
These are just small glimpses into the experiences of myself and my peers under the “leadership” of Worcester’s government.
No amount of gentrification or rebranding will erase the scars we all have from what you’ve done.
You attacked the children… and now we’re adults.
You taught us how much you hate us at every turn and plotted to destroy our education, reputations, legal records and ability to participate in the local economy and within the community.
You did all this and yet like a rose from concrete we grew… we all are becoming more than you bargained for. For the sake of not only ourselves but our parents, our mentors and the kids coming after us.
Caring for the youth and our elders despite the damage you did to us. Volunteering. Nurturing community. Honoring those who still saw us even when the bureaucracy threw us in the trash.
We are rightfully next in line. While Gen X seemed to be more than comfortable letting boomers continue to hold the keys and you managed to lock out Millennial resistance with those above mentioned systems you failed to account for Generation Z’s strength of spirit.
We are the Woo.
