This Thursday, join us at the Pleasant St/Highlnd St corner of the Newton Square rotary, by the WWII Veteran’s Memorial! The T&G claimed,that, at the time the Memorial was dedicated in 2013, 21,000 vehicles passed through the Newton Square Rotary daily. Traffic is bumper to bumper during the time we will be standing out. Our signs remind passers-by of the fact that the responsibility for the cruel shutdown lays squarely at the feet of the MAGA Republicans and the heartless President. They control the Presidency, the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court.
Filled with the enthusiasm from last Saturday’s No King’s protest, let’s take advantage of the momentum and standout at the Newton Square Rotary during evening rush hour! Since we’ve got the signs, let’s use them again! We have 12 easily readable posters for our Shutdown Showdown Standouts. Last Thursday 3 of us were overwhelmed with support from the passing vehicles while standing at the Pleasant/Newton Ave corner of the rotary.
The high temperature on this upcoming, sunny Thursday is 56 degrees, with only a light breeze! Lessons learned last week were, wear gloves when it’s breezy and be aware of the sun blinding drivers heading west at this time of day. I’m sure we’ll learn more this Thursday.
We are happy to standout at other locations on subsequent Thursdays. Please let me know if you have suggestions for other locations, in other areas of the city, where we can reach even more Worcester residents.
Please sign up to join me for Thursday’s standout. Let’s keep the awareness of who is creating this congressional nightmare in front of the public.
