"Talking about where you stand is easy. Standing when it counts takes courage."
Howard Zinn commenting on why he supports Marjorie Decker

"Marjorie and I share the same values that drive us to work on issues of social justice, affordable housing, quality education, and many others. If these matter to you, too, make your vote count on election day. We cannot take Marjorie's reelection for granted."
State Representative Alice Wolf

"Marjorie is a unique and supportive individual who has the ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and especially young people. I have watched Marjorie work for the betterment of Cambridge-she is a good role model and a generous mentor."
Sumbul Sadiqqi Senior Class President CRLS 2006

"Marjorie Decker is a pro-active supporter of workers and their families especially when it comes to moving legislation, organizing workers, and protecting worker's rights.  Working families can always count on Marjorie and we're thrilled to have her as our ally on the Council.  We proudly stand beside Marjorie and are actively working to help her get re-elected in this year's hotly-contested City Council race."
Rocio Saenz, President SEIU Local 615

"Marjorie is one of the hardest working elected officials we have in Cambridge. Progressives must not be lulled into taking her energy and intelligence for granted. She must be re-elected for many reasons, not the least of which is the well-being of those who are often overlooked."
Arthur Lipkin, Mid-Cambridge resident and Cambridge Lavender Alliance

"I have seen the benefit of Marjorie's work first hand on behalf of our neighborhood, immigrants and working people.  There would be a leadership vaccuum if she were not to continue her work on the Council because her passion and determination generate an optimism that directly benefits the C-Port neighborhood, workers, and immigrants.  I always know that I can call her with a concern or problem and she will work with me to find a solution."
Lori Sutherland-Ward 5 committee members, union organizer

"As a founder of the Area IV neighborhood Coalition, I can say that Marjorie is one of the strongest supporters of the concerns for our neighborhood.  Her energy, skills and leadership are invaluable on the City Council and therefore invaluable to our community.  Specifically her concerns about affordable housing have made a significant difference in the lives of our neighbors."
Nancy Ryan- Area 4 Neighborhood Resident and Cambridge Community Arts Board Member

"She is the most progressive woman on the Council and our community can count on her to keep the issues above politics.  The results she gets as a Councilor are impressive and important to our neighorhood. They've led to an increase in neighborhood resources as well as increased opportunities for young people."
Mo Barbosa Area 4 resident

"Residents of North Cambridge have battled for many years to protect the health of our community and hold the WR Grace company accountable. Over the last 6 years Marjorie has provided leadership stepping up whenever intervention by the City is needed - We need her continued leadership and experience."
Steve Schnapp-North Cambridge resident and member of Alewife Neighbors

"Marjorie continues to be on the forefront of leveraging resources to support organizations like Club Passim, the Brattle Theater, Community Arts Center, CMAC and the soon-to-be-built theater in Central Square. I am supporting Marjorie because through her work it is clear that she understand the necessity of art in our lives and in our community.  I am thankful to have a Councilor who weaves her commitment to the arts into the work she does with youth and our community."
Deb Wise, Artistic Director, Underground Railway Theater

"With her strong, family roots in Cambridge and her progressive voice, Marjorie connects the dots to the issues that affect us in our neighborhood as well as the state, national and international levels.  She continues to stand on her principals in courageous ways while at the same time giving us the intelligent leadership we deserve and need."
Trellis Stepter, Democratic State Committee and c-port resident.

"I have witnessed directly how central Marjorie has been in forging agreements between Harvard University and the City of Cambridge, which have provided significant benefits and protections for the abutting residents and the City at large.  Residents of the City would be left quite vulnerable without her continued oversight and deep involvement in this development."
Alan Joslin Member Riverside Oversight Committee and Kerry Corner Association.

"I support Marjorie because she is her own person and is not afraid to stand up and speak her mind.  She shares my conviction that peace and justice are not just international issues, but they are vital to the health of our City.  When it comes to my most important concerns, I can always count on her support."
Vicky Steinitz  Mid-Cambridge resident and UJP Organizer
