WESTBOROUGH, MA – DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY!

August 9 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Join us Saturdays 10am-12 to Stand Out with your signs of protest and support. We are a small but mighty group that gains new activists each week. Our high visibility location is very impactful and fulfilling. Meet fellow patriots to join your voices in Solidarity.

Hosted by: Westborough Community Action
We are a group of concerned Massachusetts citizens who live in Westborough and surrounding towns. Our mission is to build trust and relationships between local communities as we face the growing risks of:

Rising authoritarianism and the erosion of civil liberties
The worsening economy
Climate change

Attendee feedback: “It was great seeing new people joining our weekly protest today, including all ages, including kids. We are fighting authoritarianism with next to no help from the courts or Congress. So we need to keep appearing and protesting while our resistance movement coalesces. We hold the power! Remember Navalny” Doug C.

WE ARE COLLECTING DONATIONS FOR THE WESTBOROUGH FOOD PANTRY AND WESTBOROUGH PET FOOD PANTRY. Please look for the donation boxes in the center of the rotary by the monument.

Remember to bring water and hat It gets hot our here!

It’s best to park at Bay State Commons, 600 Union Street, and walk about 2 blocks to Main Street and the rotary. Please try to leave the parking spots closest to the Commons’ businesses open for business patrons. For people with mobility challenges, there is limited parking on Main Street on a first come, first served basis.
Here are some important ground rules. We cannot disrupt traffic. Please stay out of the street, and always use crosswalks.
This is a peaceful protest. If someone becomes aggressive towards one of us, we should all be ready to de-escalate the situation (don’t respond to the aggressor, walk away, find a volunteer with a reflecting vest or a Westborough Police Officer). Please look out for each other. We have been in contact with the Westborough Police, and they fully support our right to PEACEFULLY protest.

A core principle behind all Indivisible 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.

PLEASE SIGN UP HERE FOR THE EVENT
