For those who can be out and about: The second No Kings protest will take place Saturday, October 18. There are thousands of protests scheduled nationwide - somewhere between 1800 and 2000 depending on the count. You can find maps here and here. A sample:
Brookline: 1-3, Coolidge Corner
Waltham: 10:30-12, Waltham Common
Worcester: 1-3, Worcester Common

If you’re local to Greater Boston, there is a group called Bearing Witness @ ICE that is working to draw attention to the abuses happening right here. They gather every Wednesday from 11am-1pm outside the ICE Field Office in Burlington, where people are being detained. Learn more and sign up here.

And if your writing hand hasn’t cramped up, there are vital elections happening this fall. In particular, Postcards to Voters is writing for a Pennsylvania Judicial Retention election that could deadlock the PA Supreme Court and open the way for manipulation of elections in 2026. It’s an off-year and not-well-understood election, and conservative money is pouring into the state. Sign up to write postcards here - if you need stamps or cards I can send you a pack.

There is so much to be done. But every little step matters, every pushback against the onslaught, every time we say No. Take your steps and remember: You are Not Alone.
