Judges in America are currently under siege. More than 1,000 serious threats have been made against federal judges in the past five years, including judges appointed by both Republican and Democratic presidents. This is not a partisan issue. Democracy functions only when all judges are free to make decisions based upon their understanding of the law – not based upon fear or coercion.
Indivisible LAB members of Support the Courts invite you to join them for a rally at the Boston Common Visitor Center from 4:00 to 6:00 PM to show support for the safety of each and every judge. This is a non-partisan rally of support for the judges, not a protest, and signage should be confined to this particular issue – the confirmation email you’ll receive after registering has suggestions for signs and information on parking and public transportation.
The goal of Support the Courts is to demonstrate to judges that there is
tremendous public respect for their role and concern for their safety. Their first rally was at the Moakley US Courthouse in Boston on August 1, 2025. This clip from NBC Boston about their most recent rally on September 11th outside the Chevalier Theatre in Medford provides insight into who they are, and why you might consider joining them at this rally.
