Prayers for Liberty Walk-Lexington to Boston
September 1, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 5:00 pm EDT
Dear Massachusetts Residents of All Faiths:
We are writing to you with an invitation to pray with your feet and march with us from Lexington to Boston this Labor Day to sound the alarm for American democracy and to demand a more just and humane democracy that honors our shared sacred values.
On Friday, May 30th, hundreds of us marched this same route from Lexington to Boston, reversing Paul Revere’s ride for liberty 250 years ago to sound the alarm for democracy, as the actions of our current presidential administration regularly violate our shared sacred values and our constitutional rights.
What does the schedule look like on Monday, September 1st?
9:00 a.m. Hancock Church – parking, gathering, greeting
9:15 a.m. Opening prayer on Lexington Battle Green
9:45 a.m. Walk from Lexington to Arlington (~5.3 miles)
12:00 p.m. Prayer in Arlington Center – The lawn at First Parish Unitarian Universalist Arlington
12:30 Walk to Cambridge Commons (~3.5 Miles)
2:30 Prayer in Cambridge Center – Cambridge Commons
3:00 Walk to Boston Commons – 3.1 to 3.2 miles
5:00 Boston Prayer and Rally at the Common – Embrace Statue or Common Bandstand
Can I use my clothing, signage, and speech to protest other offenses at this event?
While we respect the conscience, speech, and liberty of all our clergy and other participants, at this event we are focused on the preservation of our shared sacred values and democratic, constitutional governance. In our prayers and signage, we ask that participants not mention any other issues, however important they are to one’s conscience or community.
