Controversy Erupts Over Boston Mayor's Exclusive Holiday Party Invitation

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu faced criticism after an email invitation for an "Electeds of Color Holiday Party" was mistakenly sent to all city councilors. The party, which has been held for over a decade, is intended for minority elected officials. Some councilors defended the event, stating that it creates a space for shared experiences and identities, while others found it divisive and inappropriate for a council already plagued by infighting. Mayor Wu clarified that there are numerous other opportunities for councilors to celebrate the holidays together.
