Ticketed, enclosed Boston Caribbean Carnival for safety

The idea

Transform Boston Caribbean Carnival into a ticketed, enclosed event to ensure safety and celebrate culture without fear. Modeled after other cities, this approach protects attendees, prevents violence, and uplifts a cherished tradition.

Who it helps and why

Current safety gaps at Black cultural events reflect systemic inequity. This project promotes racial equity by valuing Black lives and culture equally to others. It calls for public safety measures rooted in cultural respect, community collaboration, and reinvestment—centering Caribbean voices while combating the criminalization of Black joy and gathering.
