SUMMARY:CCB Concert Live & In Person : Ben Grosscup
DESCRIPTION:Ben Grosscup is an American singer songwriter and activist. \n\n\n\n\n“I sing about the ideas and values of the revolutionary social movements I’m part of. Drawing upon activist folk singing traditions\, I brings new songs to the rallies\, strikes\, picket lines where they’re most relevant. I lead purposeful group singing that raises political consciousness.” — Ben Grosscup \n\n\n\n\nBEN GROSSCUP has spent decades using music as a tool for change. A labor troubadour and song leader\, he brings music to picket lines\, rallies\, and union meetings to build solidarity and sustain morale during struggle. Drawing on activist folk traditions\, his songs connect workers’ fights for justice\, collective action\, and power on the job with the threat of imperial violence across the entire world. \nHe is regularly found on picket lines—including the historic 2026 NYC nurses strike—as well as at anti-war rallies\, actions to abolish ICE\, and other spaces where working people are fighting for a better future. His repertoire ranges from original songs to covers of politically inspired songwriters. \nBen’s work is rooted in the revolutionary social movements he’s part of: anti-imperialism\, Palestine solidarity\, labor\, immigrant rights\, and ecology. He lives in Western Massachusetts. https://linktr.ee/BenGrosscup \nPhoto: Julian Parker Burns \nThe concert is co sponsored by The Community Church of Boston and Massachusetts Peace Action \nThis concert is FREE and hosted by The Community Church of Boston.

SUMMARY:Film Showing: "The Next Dream.” Temporary Protected Status
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 24\, from 3-5 at Boston Community Church to watch « The Next Dream »\, a documentary  about the history of the TPS Program and what is at stake with its defense and the need for a path to Citizenship. \nLike in the past\, and to-day more then ever\, its need has come out of the policies of our Government\, defending dictatorships or promoting economic policies that starve democracies. El Salvador and Venezuela are just a few examples. \nHear from those directly affected and discuss ways we can support them.
