Mayor Jon Mitchell
c/o Office of the Mayor
City Hall
133 William Street
New Bedford, MA 02740
Dear Mayor Mitchell,
My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor,
Michigan with a strong interest in learning history, social justice, and many
other subjects. In these subjects, I enjoy understanding the need for Civil
Rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination,
have environmental protection to reduce pollution, and many others. Mayor Mitchell, the main
reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as Mayor of
New Bedford, Massachusetts to be very inspiring to me.
In your current role as Mayor of New
Bedford, Massachusetts, I’m very proud on how you are a strong supporter of
Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, supporting
funds to help women including minorities compete in the economy, and pushing
for laws to combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including
people who are different. Expanding
job-training programs to help train youth including workers to develop
work-skills to help prepare them for the economy and encouraging businesses to
hire women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for them is common
sense to improve the economy. On
education, I liked on how you created New Bedford Reads, a program to help
youth including educators use different tools to improve literacy, provided
funds for special education to help students with disabilities get the
educational accommodations they need, and worked with public schools to expand
after school programs to help youth get assistance on their assignments from
tutors. Pushing for renewable resource
projects to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, working with seafood
industries including businesses located near the coast to find ways to combat
against pollution in the coast of New Bedford to help protect their businesses
while protect the environment, and
pushing for funds to help clean parks including water resources to make them
safe for people to use is common sense to protect the environment. Also in your role as Mayor of New Bedford I
really like on how you are an advocate for the need for immigration reform to
help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed, working with
law enforcement including minorities communities to find ways to reduce racial
profiling, working with city services including local communities to create
more ethnic with diversity festivals to help teach people about the need for
diversity, and providing funds to help preserve historical sites with museums
to help improve educating people about history while improve tourism. Also I like your work in the U.S. Conference
of Mayors as Chair of the Energy Committee for the U.S. Conference of Mayors
where you work with other U.S. Mayors from different political affiliation on
finding ways to combat against climate change and team up with different U.S.
Mayors to advocate for Civil Rights, social justice, and people with
disabilities’ rights.
Mayor Mitchell, I have autism with a
learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble
comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to
communicate my thoughts, and get teased.
Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including
people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my
disability. On TheNewDeal website about
progressives who are working hard to push for common sense ideas, I enjoy
reading your articles about the need to expand on renewable energy to reduce
addiction to oil with gas, the need to
expand Civil Rights to reduce discrimination, and have job-training programs to
help teach people about work skills while fix the economy. Also your role in the U.S. Conference of
Mayors on serving in some of the committees and teaming up with different U.S.
Mayors to push for common sense ideas like Civil Rights, social justice,
environmental protection, and many others made me develop an interest in
learning about different U.S. Mayors and have an interest in learning about the
organization. Many different U.S. Mayors
including you and this organization really inspires me to work hard on my
disability. Another thing is your role as mayor of New Bedford, Massachusetts
motivates me to continue my interest in learning history including social
justice. My future goal is to work in history to help emphasize the need to
make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment
from pollution, improve social justice, and many others.
I strongly believe that you are making
a great difference in your current role. Also I’m very proud on how you are
working hard with the U.S. Conference of Mayors including other U.S. Mayors to
improve society. You have inspired me to
work hard on my disability, develop an
interest in learning about the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and to be motivated
to continue to learn different subjects especially history. Thanks for taking
the time to read my letter, making a great impact on society, and inspiring me.
Sincerely,
Matt Winick
