U.S. Attorney Rachel Rollins to speak at Mason Square events

SPRINGFIELD — U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins is scheduled as the keynote speaker Saturday at the 6th annual Mason Square C3 Community Awards Ceremony at the Raymond A. Jordan Senior Center.

The 3 p.m. ceremony is sold out, but Rollins is also scheduled to have a separate community conversation for the general public at the Mason Square Library from noon to 1 p.m. That event is open to the public.

Rollins spoke Thursday night in a virtual town hall about the impact of the federal consent decree on the Springfield police department.

Rollins, a UMass-Amherst alumna, is the first black woman chosen to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.

The theme for the award ceremony is “Changing Systematic Racism and Inequity in the Criminal Justice System through Community Engagement.”

The Mason Square C3, a collaboration of the Springfield police, community organizations and Mason Square residents, has since 2015 been working together to improve the quality of life throughout the neighborhood surrounding Mason Square. This annual ceremony is both a fundraiser for C3 community events and an opportunity to recognize individuals and organizations that improve the lives of the Mason Square residents.
