Mass says, again, No Kings!
Thank you for standing with us, whether you were in Boston or in your hometown; we hope that you deepened connections to your community, came away with some other ways to take action, and had an awesome day that refilled your cup to redouble our fight against authoritarianism.
A Bastion of Democracy
One of the most beautiful and most terrifying things about a nation defined by ideals is that we must choose over and over again—in every generation, in every household, in every heart—whether or not to uphold our shared identity… As our values and our institutions begin to buckle under the blows, the burden to support and defend our Constitution becomes one that more and more Americans must take up in order to ensure its survival.

Thanks for making Good Trouble with us
Thank you all for braving the heat to make Good Trouble with us last Thursday! We made our voices heard marching down Boylston Street. Once we got to the Common, we danced to the music of the Good Trouble Brass Band. Then, we got down to business with speakers from multiple organizations sharing what they think Good Trouble means to them.
Boston Pride x No Kings Recap
On Saturday, June 14, over 2100 No Kings protests took place throughout the country, with dozens in Massachusetts alone. In Boston, we had a unique opportunity to combine Boston Pride with No Kings. Over 1 million people came together to embrace peaceful unity in the face of tyranny, to uplift our LGBTQIA+ community above hateful rhetoric, and to speak in a single voice proclaiming that Americans reject the dictatorial aspirations of a would-be king.
