Watch: Michelle Wu takes oath of office to be Boston’s new mayor

It becomes official today.

Mayor-elect Michelle Wu will be sworn in as the first woman and person of color elected to lead the city of Boston during a ceremony Tuesday at noon in the Boston City Council chambers, where the at-large city councilor has served for the past eight years.

The city is live-streaming the 12 p.m. ceremony below:

The ceremony Tuesday comes after an unusually quick two-week transition, due to city charter rules about replacing an acting mayor. Wu’s team is planning a full inauguration with public events in January, alongside newly elected members of the Boston City Council.

Both Wu and acting Mayor Kim Janey — who has held the position since replacing former mayor turned U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh in March — are slated to speak during the ceremony Tuesday.

The program will begin with a Pledge of Allegiance led by Boston Public Schools student Eliana Rivas, followed by an invocation provided by Rev. Dr. Arlene Hall.

Boston Municipal Court Justice Myong J. Joun will deliver the oath of office to Wu.

Following the ceremony, Wu’s team say she will head to the mayor’s office on the other side of City Hall’s fifth floor to begin her official duties.

The top vote-getter in the city’s preliminary mayoral election in September, the unabashedly progressive city councilor beat fellow at-large councilor Annissa Essaibi George in the general election on Nov. 2.

In a Boston Globe essay published Tuesday morning, Wu pledged to “tackle big challenges by getting the small things right, and by getting City Hall out of City Hall and into our neighborhoods.”

“Block by block, street by street, our city has the resources, the activism, and the ideas to meet these challenges if we act boldly and reshape what’s possible,” Wu wrote. “After all, Boston was founded on a revolutionary promise: that things don’t have to be as they always have been.”
