This a local Indivisible Maynard Area event.
We meet monthly from 6:30-8:30pm to get informed and to take action. Our next meeting is Feb 19. We will be joined by Sen Jamie Eldridge for the first part. He will share actions that can happen on the state level and ways we can help get the legislation over the finish line. The second half of our meeting will be devoted to taking action: we will primarily be packing whistles for ourselves and to distribute to our neighbors. Please bring a small donation to help cover the cost of whistles and materials especially for those who can’t come. We will also be collecting canned and dried packaged food to donate to community members in need.
Space is limited, so RSVP is required. If you would like to receive our emails on other events or join our group, you can go to our webpage and join our group there: indivisiblemaynard.org
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.

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.
The 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.

(Except this month: Feb 16 instead of Feb 14) Rally themes relate to preserving our democracy, rejecting authoritarianism, calling for accountability from our elected officials, and an end to the lawlessness of the Trump administration, in particular an end to ICE, which has become a lawless paramilitary that is being used to wage economic, psychological, and physical war against communities in “blue states” and “blue cities” that Trump wants to punish or attempt to extort.

Join us on President’s Day to declare that Trump does NOT represent our views and that we reject his precedency and call for his impeachment and removal. The level of criminality and corruption of his Administration is unsurpassed in our history, and would be the end of any administration in the world’s other democracies.
