SUMMARY:NORTHAMPTON\, MA - Standout for Veterans & All Federal Workers!
DESCRIPTION:<p>Stand with us at the entrance to the regional headquarters of the VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare System to support our veterans and all federal workers! VA workers are the backbone of the VA system\, ensuring veterans get the highly specialized care and support they earned. About a third of all federal workers are veterans adversely affected by the federal government’s job slashing/restructuring.</p> \n<p>Important parking info: Park in the VA <em>Visitor</em> lot (not the employees lot) or\, if you have a sticker or are a Veteran\, park in Look Park.</p> \n<p>We are in a high traffic area at a busy light\, with veterans and employees turning into the VA driveway. </p> \n<p>Our standouts let VA staff know that we support them\, while we protest DOGE/Project 2025 cuts and the abrupt cancellation of union contracts. We won’t sit by idly while the Trump regime works to privatize the VA\, which would hollow out health care and support tailored for the special needs of our veterans.</p> \n<p>Join us to raise our voices against the chaos and destruction of the current regime. Join the many veterans and their family members who aren't on board with the "cruelty as entertainment" behavior of Trump and the GOP.</p> \n<p>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. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment. We recommend all participants review our safety and security resource before your event: https://indivisi.org/safety.</p> \n<p>Winter weather alert: If it's a snow day\, we will cancel our standout that day.</p> \n\n<a target=_blank href=https://www.mobilize.us/activist-afternoons/event/811666?utm_source=sba_cal>PLEASE SIGN UP HERE FOR THE EVENT</a>

SUMMARY:LONGMEADOW\, MA - I91 Overpass Visibility Standout - Longmeadow (Weekly)
DESCRIPTION:<p>This is a recurring event\, one of the many locations for weekly overpass standouts. </p> \n<p>If You Bring a Sign\, Banner\, or Flag For sign and banner lettering\, bigger is better\, so it can be easily read from the roadway. Flags are great\, too. Wouldn't it be amazing to reclaim our flag? Mass DOT does not like things attached to the fence. They may visit\, so be prepared to not have anything attached. Never drape anything over the fence\, even with ropes\, because it would be very dangerous if it accidentally fell onto the highway. Other Logistics No Port-A-Potties are available. Please take everything you brought away with you and leave the site totally clean. About These Standouts</p> \n<p>Come join like-minded folks to demand that Trump\, Musk\, and the Republican-led Congress stop their unconstitutional power grab and the cruel destruction of our federal government.</p> \n<p>We will hold banners\, signs\, and flags\, and we'll wave to passing motorists. Many will beep and wave back at us\, which feels nice! We'll show people that they're not alone and help give them the courage to join us and take a stand.</p> \n<p>Please come out whether or not you have a sign or banner or flag. More people is better!</p> \n<p>Come when you can\, and leave when you must. You needn't be present for the entire 1 hour and 15 minute standout.</p> \n<p>We may see a counter protester. If so\, the best thing to do is just ignore them and spend our time and energy waving to motorists. Let's keep things 100% non-confrontational and non-violent\, in words and body language.</p> \n<p>We welcome your energy and ideas\, and we're looking forward to meeting everyone. Let's have some fun and make some good trouble.</p> \n<p><em>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.</em></p> \n\n<a target=_blank href=https://www.mobilize.us/swingbluealliance/event/851790?utm_source=sba_cal>PLEASE SIGN UP HERE FOR THE EVENT</a>

SUMMARY:HATFIELD\, MA - Hatfield Mountain Drive Overpass--Friday Standouts
