Embrace Boston
This week marks 50 issues and one full year of our research and policy newsletter, The Fine Print!
From deconstructing tax law to interviewing Nikole Hannah-Jones, we’ve put in the work to keep people informed. And you all responded—11,000 total subscribers, almost half a million total reads (!!), and lots of love and encouragement.
For everyone who’s been with us since Day 1 or joined us along the way, thank you SO much. We couldn’t have done it without you. And we can’t wait to keep bringing you even more in Year 2.
Keep reading The Fine Print.

We are excited to share a major milestone in the evolution of Embrace.
Embrace has acquired 33–41 West Street in Downtown Crossing, located just steps from The Embrace Monument and Freedom Plaza on Boston Common. This acquisition marks the next chapter in our work to build a permanent civic and cultural gathering space in the heart of Boston.
Building on the impact of The Embrace Monument, which has welcomed millions of visitors since its unveiling in 2023, this new space will serve as a year-round indoor commons for arts, culture, storytelling, and civic life.
As we move forward, we will continue working in partnership with artists, community members, and civic leaders to shape this space into Boston’s next great civic landmark.
