The next big march is almost here as we join unions and workerss for a Labor Day march. We’ll spend an evening making signs together. We’ll have some supplies, you can bring them if you have them but mostly bring your ideas and energy!
If you’re not able to join an overpass standout, please share this message in other ways: in your home or car windows, on your lawn, on sidewalks, on flyers in store windows or bulletin boards – anywhere that you have permission to display it or where we have 1st Amendment rights.
The goal is for this empowering message to go beyond August 15th and become a mantra of hope and determination that we can hold onto and share with each other in even our darkest moments.
We are gathering on Friday, August 15th from 3-4:30 at three overpasses on Route 6 with messages to advance our pro-democracy causes to travelers passing by. The message theme for 8/15 is “Be Brave”. As always, these are a peaceful events where we will stand in public spaces.
Harwich, Freeman’s Way Overpass between exits 85 and 89 (park at lay-by near overpass)
Wellfleet, Long Pond Road Overpass (park at lay-by near Lawrence Rd)
(note which location when you register)
Look forward to seeing you there! We will have letters to hold which complete a unified message with other overpass locations. You are welcome to bring your own signs to hold but please make sure they have large printing!
Join with Brookline PAX and the broader Brookline community to stand up and stand out for our founding document at this time when it is in mortal peril.
Make your feelings known.
Bring yourself. Bring signs. Bring friends and family. All are welcome.

🎉 Be Part of History and Join Boston’s First Labor Day Parade! 🚶♀️✊ The Greater Boston Labor Council is making history with Boston’s first-ever Labor Day Parade! YOU’RE invited to march with us! 💥
This isn’t just a parade; it’s a statement, a celebration, and a call to action. The labor and activist coalition behind the parade has put together an inspiring lineup of participants:
Mayor Michelle Wu and Governor Maura Healey will speak alongside union leaders and rank-and-file members
Many other elected officials will show their support by marching in the parade, including Attorney General Andrea Campbell, Senator Ed Markey, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, and many State Reps, Senators, and City Councilors from all over the state
You can’t have a good parade without marching bands – we’ll have Good Trouble Brass Band, Musicians Marching Band, BABAM Marching Band, and Northeastern University Pep Band
Other marching contingents will include biker clubs, the Tin Men from the Sheet Metal Workers Union, a beautiful, classic red ‘65 Chevy pickup made by UAW workers, and much much more!
When the parade arrives at City Hall Plaza, Terca Club will bring their spirited blend of Latin, Brazilian rhythms, American funk, and intergalactic psychedelic synths.
We’ll follow a powerful route that honors the victories of the past, energizes the movement we’re building today, and reminds everyone that it’s better in a union.
We’ll meet in front of the State House, at the corner of Beacon and Park Streets, for opening remarks and performances. At 10:30 we’ll head to City Hall Plaza via School, Washington, and Congress Streets, past several key landmarks from the struggle for Labor rights. And we’ll conclude at City Hall Plaza with more music and speeches.
The billionaires continue to wage a cruel war on working people, with their cronies in the administration, ICE and law enforcement backing up their attacks. This Labor Day we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics.
Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won’t back down—we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure access to opportunity and a better life for all Americans. The billionaire’s time is up.
On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.
In thousands of communities around the country we encourage you to take a stand with us on Labor Day. On the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a world that works for all of us.
