Fitchburg MA Free America Walkout
January 20 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm EST
One year into Trump’s second regime, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, attacks on immigrants, families torn apart, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent. It is time for our communities to escalate as well.
2025 was a year of marches that showed our collective strength. And as the threats grow, our movement must evolve and escalate. Trump and his allies have already made clear that a second term would bring a deeper wave of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and violence than the first.
On January 20th, we call on our communities to organize teams, call your neighbors and classmates, and turn your back and walk out on fascism. Host mutual aid planning meetings, organize public service, but walk out to block the normal routines of power, and make the stakes real. This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable.
★ We walk away from fascism. ★
★ We walk towards a Free America. ★
★ We fight for a future that belongs to us all. ★
★ Everybody in, nobody out. ★
★ Welcome to the Free America Walkout ★
LOCAL EVENT NOTE: We are committed to peaceful activism. PLEASE adhere to the following during demonstrations: Please stay on sidewalks. Do not impede pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Please do not allow flags, etc. to hang into the street. PLEASE do not engage with agitators or counter-protestors – do not boo or yell. “We need to keep traffic moving” or “Thank you, have a nice day” are good responses. None of us want to be the reason that martial law is invoked. And, of course, no weapons of any kind, please.
WE WELCOME YOUR SIGNS, FLAGS, AND NOISEMAKERS. BRING A CHAIR IF NEEDED! WE ASK THAT YOU STAY ON THE JOHN FITCH PLAZA SIDE OF THE STREET. DRESS FOR THE WEATHER AND SEE YOU SOON!
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.
