SUMMARY:No Kings\, No Warmongering - 10/18
DESCRIPTION:https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/840244/ \nSaturday\, October 1812-3 pm EDT \n \nBoston Common – near Parkman Bandstand \nWear Yellow \nWhile millions lose access to healthcare and schools crumble\, Trump sends billions of US tax dollars to  enable Israel’s genocide and fund ICE to abduct our neighbors. It doesn’t have to be this way. Join the fight for peace. \nJoin with MAPA to stand for peace and Palestine at the Boston No Kings protest.  Bring signs\, banners\, Palestine flags\, and keffiyehs.  Our table will be near the Parkman Bandstand. \nIn America\, we don’t put up with would-be kings. \nThe ACLU-MA\, Indivisible Mass Coalition and Mass 50501 proudly continue working together with allies and you to make our peaceful movement bigger and stronger! “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets\, carried by millions in chants and on posters\, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares\, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. \nThe president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America\, we don’t have kings\, and we won’t back down against chaos\, corruption\, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. \nA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events. \nIn the Boston area?  Click below to sign up for the peace/ Palestine contingent.  Our info table will be near the Parkman Bandstand\, at position #18 as shown in the map below. \nHere is the flyer we will be distributing. \n \nNot in the Boston area?   There will be hundreds of No Kings protests nationwide on Oct. 18.    Find a protest near you at https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/ and print out your own copies of the flyer to distribute! \n \nBoston Program – Main Stage\nEmcee\nRahsaan Hall\, President and CEO of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts \nSpeakers\nBoston Mayor Michelle Wu \nCarol Rose\, Executive Director of ACLU of Massachusetts \nReverend Mariama White-Hammond \nPerformers\nChadwick Stokes (of Dispatch) \nThe Sheila Divine \nAbbie Barrett \nJonathan Gramling and Toussaint \nGood Trouble Brass Band \nBVocal \nRosie and the Resisters \nSecond Stage Theater\nAmerican Gulag \nA short tragic performance demonstrating ICE’s dehumanizing and cruel intake process\, and depicting an inmate’s daily life in a modern concentration camp. \nSNOW \nA satirical play that mocks the administration’s agents who are currently terrorizing our communities. SNOW encourages audience members to stand with our immigrant neighbors who are under threat and view the agents threatening our communities with the contempt that they deserve. Join us for this depiction of two hapless SNOW agents getting a very Boston (un)welcome as they attempt to encroach upon our liberties. \nCalls to Action\n\n\nProtect our immigrant neighbors who are being profiled\, threatened\, and kidnapped \nJoin a community ICE watch group so agents know we are watching them\, volunteer to assist with vital mutual aid\, bond and legal needs\, and stand out in solidarity at ICE offices. More information from organizations\, including LUCE\, MIRA\, BIJAN\, and Bearing Witness @ ICE in Burlington. \n\n\nFight with your dollars \nHit them where it hurts by boycotting corporations and billionaires that are doing Trump’s bidding. Don’t check out at the checkout; patriotic dissent happens everywhere! \n\n\nHold your Reps accountable \nKeep the pressure on and keep calling them out. Use the 5Calls app. Email and show up at their offices. If they can’t fix this\, we’ll find others who will.

SUMMARY:May 1: Workers Should Have Power\, Not The Billionaires!
DESCRIPTION:This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. The billionaires are defunding our schools\, privatizing public services\, attacking unions\, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence.

Their time is up. \nOn May Day 2025\, working people across the country will stand up to the billionaire agenda! In Boston\, we will rally on Thursday\, May 1st at 5:30pm at the Parkman Bandstand\, Boston Common. \n\nEnd the billionaire looting! Fully fund public services – like public education\, Social Security\, Medicare\, and Medicaid!\nFund people’s needs not the war machine in Gaza!\nFull protections and legalization for immigrants now! No deportations! No raids!\nFree Rumeysa\, Mahmoud\, Kilmar\, and others abducted by ICE!\nProtect free speech and academic independence!\nStop police brutality! End the abuse of power!\nProtect labor’s rights to unionize\, organize and strike!\n\nAssociated with Mayday Strong\, endorsed by MAPA and others. \nWalk with us in the Palestine/ Peace contingent!   Meet at 5:30 at the Embrace statue\, on the side facing the Parkman Bandstand. \nOrganizations that wish to endorse\, go to http://bit.ly/endorse-bosmayday2025 \n \n
