Standout for Democracy | Protest in Methuen
March 6 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
This a local Indivisible event! Our standout is comprised of a group of seniors who decided to do more than watch the news, become upset, anxious, and feel powerless about what is happening in and to our country. We began a peaceful protest action to register our displeasure! We wanted to demonstrate in a way that empowered us and allowed us to take back some control and voice our concerns. Our motto is “WE MARCHED THEN, WE MARCH NOW.” Since we range in age from the 70s to 90s, we try to standout on Fridays from 1pm to 2pm. We standout weather permitting so we would not standout in the rain or snow. We are looking forward to warmer weather. We are glad to be a part of Greater Methuen Indivisible.
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.
