Created by Shaina Taub\, the first woman to ever independently win Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in the same season\, this “thrilling\, inspiring and dazzlingly entertaining” (Variety) new musical boldly explores the triumphs and failures of a struggle for equality that’s far from over. Winner of the Outer Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Musical. \n\n\n\n“Like all of the best Broadway musicals\, Suffs humanizes\, empowers\, moves\, and entertains.” (Chicago Tribune)

SUMMARY:Resistance Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Our current presidential administration seems intent on erasing critical aspects of American history\, both historic injustice\, and the struggles for freedom and democracy that are parts of our past. Led by community member and friend of the store Bob Van Meter\, the Resistance Book Club will read works that tell important parts of that history.   \n\n\n\nThe book club will meet on the third Friday of the month at 10:30 AM here at the store. The first meeting will be on Friday\, February 20th\, and the book pick will be The Second Founding by Eric Foner. It’s a concise history of the adoption of the 13th\, 14th\, and 15th Amendments\, which Foner argues should be seen as a second founding of the nation.

SUMMARY:Standout for Democracy | Protest in Methuen
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Updates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA 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.

SUMMARY:We Keep Us Safe: No Kings Safety Marshal Training
DESCRIPTION:This one‑hour virtual overview\, led by AFSC\, provides No Kings safety marshals across the country with the foundational skills needed to support safe\, grounded\, lawful\, and powerful nonviolent actions. Because this is an online session\, we focus on the essentials: understanding marshal roles\, guiding marches\, communicating with participants\, using de‑escalation rooted in dignity and teamwork\, and responding calmly to higher‑risk situations. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for zoom link\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with a strong introductory framework they can apply immediately and a clear sense of how safety marshaling protects people and protects the movement. We will also identify some decision-points that event teams should discuss locally before events. \n\n\n\n– \n\n\n\nBy registering for this event\, you agree: (1) that Indivisible and ACLU can contact you about No Kings and other ways to take action or support their organizations and otherwise use any data collected from or about you on this form according to the applicable privacy policy: Indivisible Privacy Policy (https://indivisible.org/privacy-policy) and ACLU’s Privacy Statement (https://www.aclu.org/about/privacy/statement); and (2) subject to its privacy policy\, Indivisible may also share the information you provide to other No Kings partner organizations\, which may also contact you.
