Upcoming Events
No Kings On D-Day
“No Kings on D-Day” is a patriotic, four-part event blending reverence and resistance, honoring those who served while protesting VA cuts and democratic backsliding. Veterans, not politicians, will take the stage to remind us that service is a civic duty, not a crown to be worn.
The event will take place at the Boston Common on June 6th, from 5 to 7 PM, starting at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
Boston Pride
At the 2025 Boston Pride For The People Parade, Mass 50501 will walk in partnership with LGBTQIA+ businesses, groups, and representatives. At the conclusion of the Parade, LGBTQIA+ teammates at Mass 50501 will host a table in Boston Common as part of the Festival. Join us in an act of joyous defiance against a mad king. Bring your flags, bring your pride, and bring a welcoming party attitude!
