BOSTON — Forget subtlety — Planned Parenthood’s political arm in Massachusetts just staged a full-on spectacle of wokeness, rolling out its 2025 endorsements like a red-carpet gala for Boston’s progressive elite.

The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of MA dropped its slate on Instagram this week, and it reads less like a political endorsement list and more like a curated guest list for Wu’s ideological inner circle. Every pick is a loyal soldier in the Mayor’s progressive machine — the same bloc that’s been running City Hall as Boston grapples with crime spikes, an addiction crisis, and some of the worst-performing public schools in the state.

In announcing their endorsement, the group gushed: “Mayor Wu has a deep personal commitment to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom in Boston.”

The “All-Woke” Slate

• Mayor: Michelle Wu — the headliner, flanked by a wall of talking points on “reproductive justice” while residents beg for basic city services.
• At-Large: Ruthzee Louijeune, Julia Mejia, Henry Santana, Alexandra Valdez — Boston’s progressive Avengers, whose council meetings often play out like a sociology seminar.
• District 1: Gabriela Coletta Zapata — North End’s loyal Wu ally who never met a street closure she didn’t like.
• District 4: Brian Worrell — the reliable yes vote for whatever City Hall’s activist wing pushes next.
• District 5: Enrique Pepén — the newcomer whose district struggles with public safety but somehow always finds time for climate pledges.
• District 7: Said Abdikarim — Wu-backed newcomer running to fill the seat vacated by crooked Democrat Tania Fernandes Anderson, who resigned after taking cash in a City Hall bathroom.
• District 8: Sharon Durkan — the self-styled “bike lane warrior” who never misses a photo op with the Mayor.
• District 9: Liz Breadon — another safe vote for Wu’s sweeping social-engineering agenda.

Why It Matters

Planned Parenthood’s political arm isn’t just about slogans — it’s an organized, well-funded machine with the power to flood campaigns with volunteers, cash, and voter data. In a city where turnout can make or break an election, their endorsement is a golden ticket.

For Wu and her allies, it’s an insurance policy: keep the progressive bloc intact, crush dissent on the council, and ride into another term with a unified front — all while the city’s biggest crises keep piling up.

Critics say it’s less about reproductive rights and more about locking Boston’s political direction into one narrow, ideological lane for the next four years.

The message from Planned Parenthood’s endorsement list? The Wu Machine isn’t slowing down — it’s revving up.
