What an honor to join the 2025 El Mundo Hispanic Heritage Breakfast and share the head table (and a few roasts 🙃). ¡Gracias, Alberto! For uplifting Latinos across our city and state, and for the Bad Bunny jokes. Inspired by all the leaders shaping our students’ futures. Nos vemos el próximo año! ✨

Two people pose together at what appears to be a formal event with blue curtains in the background. On the left is Ruthzee wearing a bright blue blazer over a white top, and on the right is someone wearing a dark suit with a red tie and a medal on a red, white, and blue ribbon around their neck. They are holding what appears to be a rose gold or bronze colored circular award or plaque. Both are smiling warmly at the camera.

A speaking event at what appears to be an “EM Hispanic Heritage Breakfast” (visible on the podium sign). Ruthzee in a bright blue suit stands at a podium speaking and gesturing expressively. Behind them stands someone in a dark suit with a red tie, and seated at tables on either side are several people including someone in a red suit on the left and others in business attire. The setting features blue stage lighting and black curtains, with a formal dining setup visible including place settings and floral centerpieces.

Six people stand in a line on a wooden stage or floor against a backdrop of blue curtains. From left to right, they wear: a yellow blazer with black pants, a red pantsuit, a floral dress with a light-colored scarf, a black suit with a tan fedora hat, a lavender dress, and a bright blue suit. The setting appears to be a formal event or ceremony.

Three people are captured in a candid moment, all smiling and appearing to be at a formal event. The person on the left wears glasses and a floral print outfit, the person in the center, Ruthzee, wears a bright blue blazer, and the person on the right wears a red top. The background shows a blurred event space with blue lighting.

Honoring the strength and unity of the Boston Jewish community this Yom Kippur. May we all find peace, reflection, and renewal as we come together in faith and tradition. G'mar Chatima Tova!

This is a Rosh Hashanah greeting card with “G’MAR CHATIMA TOVA!” prominently displayed in bold black text, meaning “May you be sealed [in the Book of Life] for good” - a traditional greeting during the period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Below it says “Boston” in italics, and the Hebrew text “חתימה טובה” (Chatima Tova) appears in coral/orange color at the bottom.

The card is decorated with a light blue background, green leafy branches framing both sides, and an illustration of a shofar (ram’s horn) at the top center. The design has a clean, modern aesthetic while incorporating traditional Jewish New Year symbolism. The beige/cream colored text box gives the card a warm, festive appearance appropriate for the High Holy Days season.

Today we proudly celebrated the 65th Nigerian Independence Day 🇳🇬✨ at City Hall, honoring Nigeria’s culture, history & contributions in Boston. Grateful to join colleagues & community, and to celebrate Paul’s release, reminding us of the work ahead for dignity & justice for all.

A large group of approximately 100-150 people gathered on a brick plaza in front of modern urban buildings, including office towers with glass facades. The crowd spans multiple generations, from children to older adults. Many attendees wear clothing incorporating green and white colors, and several people hold small flags. The group appears to be attending a community celebration or cultural event in what looks like a city center or civic plaza.

The Nigerian flag - featuring vertical stripes of green, white, and green - waves in the foreground with “BOSTON CITY HALL” text visible on a concrete building in the background. The flag is mounted on a pole against a clear sky.

An outdoor speaking event with Ruthzee in a bright green blazer standing at a wooden podium bearing an official city seal, holding a microphone and a small green and white flag. Behind the speaker, several people stand near a brick wall with modern buildings in the background. In the foreground (slightly out of focus) is what appears to be a traditional decorated gourd or shekere instrument. Traditional drums are visible to the right of the podium.

Three people stand together outdoors for a group photo. The person in the center, Ruthzee, wears a bright green blazer over a black and white patterned outfit. To the left is someone in a black jacket, and to the right is someone wearing sunglasses and a colorful traditional African print garment featuring green, gold, and black patterns. All three are smiling, with storefronts visible in the softly focused background.

A purple-headed slide titled “REMEMBER YOUR BASIC RIGHTS” with a light blue background. In a green box are four bullet points listing fundamental rights: the right to remain silent, the right to speak with an attorney or request one, the right to see a warrant signed by a judge, and not to sign anything without first talking to a lawyer. The slide is numbered “3.”

A slide with purple header “WHAT TO DO IF ICE COMES TO YOUR DOOR” and light blue background.

The slide is numbered “4.”

A slide titled “HOW TO PREPARE YOUR FAMILY” with the same purple header and light blue background design. The green box contains four preparation steps: gather and safely store important documents where family can find them, make a plan with trusted adults for childcare if needed, give children’s schools a list of trusted adults for pick-up, and always keep attorney contact information accessible. The slide is numbered “5.“

This is a resource slide with a purple header “READY RESOURCES” and light blue background. The slide provides important contact information and resources for immigration-related support:

Here’s a recap of some of what we did at the Boston City Council meeting today! And We were glad to have students in Chambers from Boston University.

Four people pose together behind the Boston City Council President’s desk in what appears to be a municipal council chamber. The person in the center, Ruthzee, wears a dark blazer, flanked by three others - one in a checkered blazer holding what appears to be a gavel, one wearing a red “Boston University” sweatshirt, and one in a red and black jacket.

The setting shows the formal chamber environment with blue curtains in the background, American and city flags, and the nameplate “RUTHZEE LOUIJEUNE” visible on the wooden desk. A digital timer displays “0:00” on the desk surface. This appears to be either a youth engagement event, student visit, or educational program allowing young people to experience the council chamber setting.

This is a highlights infographic from Ruthzee Louijeune, Boston City Council President, featuring a purple and teal color scheme. The document lists four key accomplishments with green checkmarks:

1. The Council adopted legislation allowing small businesses with beer and wine liquor licenses to apply for all-alcohol licenses, enabling restaurants to offer more options to customers and increase profit margins.
1. Councilors filed a hearing order regarding legalizing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in every neighborhood throughout Boston.
1. The Council passed a grant to support aging residents in the city.
1. Resolutions were filed to raise the Nigerian and Italian flags at City Hall.

The infographic uses the same visual design elements as previous council communications, with the highlights presented in an easy-to-read format against the branded background.

Please see my recent statement concerning tragic incidents in Mattapan.

This is a public statement from Boston City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune addressing two serious incidents that occurred in the Mattapan neighborhood. The statement is formatted as a formal communication with purple quotation marks and official branding.

The statement addresses:

1. A death that occurred after police responded to an incident at a group home, noting that the exact circumstances are still under investigation by the district attorney’s office and emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability for the family.
1. An attack on a gay couple near Mattapan Square, which Louijeune condemns as an act of violence and homophobia. The statement mentions immediate outreach to law enforcement and collaboration with District Councilor Pepén to increase police presence in the area.

The tone is measured and official, acknowledging community concerns while outlining concrete steps taken in response to both incidents. The statement concludes by thanking community members for their engagement and reaffirming the goal of ensuring everyone feels safe and welcome in the neighborhood.

Shana Tova, Boston! ✨

Wishing our Jewish community and your loved ones a sweet, healthy, and joyful New Year. May this season of reflection and renewal bring peace and countless blessings.

This is a festive Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) greeting card with “Shanah Tovah” written in decorative purple lettering at the center. The phrase means “Good Year” in Hebrew and is a traditional New Year blessing.

The design features a light blue background decorated with symbolic foods associated with Rosh Hashanah traditions: sliced apples (often eaten with honey for a sweet new year), pomegranates (symbolizing abundance), jars of honey, and green leaves or herbs. These elements are scattered around the text in a cheerful, celebratory pattern.

In the bottom right corner is the signature “RUTHZEE LOUIJEUNE - BOSTON CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT,” indicating this is an official holiday greeting from a Boston city official to constituents celebrating the Jewish New Year.
