Pittsfield Group Congratulated for Shaking Up Politics

By Kelly Wilkinson

Pittsfield, MA – A grassroots group that challenged politics as usual in Pittsfield, Massachusetts is being recognized by a statewide organization this weekend. The group called WHEN, or Women Helping Empower Neighborhoods, first focused on bringing more women to what had been an all-male city council. Now they're working to bring about wider changes in the city. More from WAMC's Kelly Wilkinson.
