“I have known Jamarhl Crawford for nearly 20 years. He is a talented, grassroots freedom fighter who can speak articulately to a college professor or “break it down” for our youth on the street. Jamarhl is also ready to “roll up his sleeves” and go to work to bring about positive change. He is resourceful and motivated to work to bring power to the people. Elect someone willing to work for our community “by any means necessary.” Support Jamarhl Crawford for Boston City Council.”
