April 17 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am EDT
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. Join the resistance book club at The Silver Unicorn bookstore on Friday April 17th at 10:30 AM as we discuss our second book, Lady Justice by Dahlia Lithwick.
IIn Lady Justice, Dahlia Lithwick, one of the nation’s foremost legal commentators, illuminates these many heroes of the Trump years. From Sally Yates and Becca Heller, who fought the Muslim travel ban, to Roberta Kaplan, who sued the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, to Stacey Abrams, who worked to protect the voting rights of millions of Georgians, Lithwick dramatizes in thrilling detail the women lawyers who worked tirelessly to hold the line against the most chaotic presidency in living memory.

In our continued effort to stay engaged and advocate for change, we are hosting a Postcarding for Justice event on Saturday, April 11 at 10am at The Java Room in Chelmsford.
Writing to Congress is a simple but powerful way to ensure our community’s values are visible to our representatives. Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or looking for your first way to get involved, we would love to have you join us.
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.

The goal of this peaceful standout is to raise awareness of fascist warning signs: silencing free speech, demonizing opponents, curtailing elections, cult of personality, and more.
This is a silent protest action. You do not need to bring a sign. We will have 20 black signs with white letters. Each person will hold one of our signs. If more than 20 folks sign-up, we’ll also hold flags and other signs.
We’re scheduling this event for one hour, April 11 from 10 – 11 am.

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are just finding your way to this work, your voice matters in these conversations. We can’t do this without you.
In solidarity, Chelmsford Connected Leadership

This month’s agenda:
Join us for the monthly meeting of the Indivisible Westford Progressive Massachusetts chapter.
A more detailed agenda will be published about a week prior to the meeting, however, the format of our meetings, in general, is:
General discussion – we always try to leave time for open discussion and questions.
Local issues – town elections, budget issues, conservation committee, etc. May include presentations from candidates. Primarily for the town of Westford, but surrounding towns (Chelmsford, Acton) may also be discussed as appropriate.
State issues – as the legislative session gets underway, we will be involved in initiatives with the guidance from Progressive Mass, Indivisible Mass Coalition, and other organizations. We will keep you informed and involved.
National issues – as things get rolling with the new administration, and we get direction from the national Indivisible organization, we will share with you. We will also give an update on our post card writing events and what is coming up with that effort.
April 11 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Let’s continue the momentum and stand out for democracy with our signs and our enthusiasm. As we begin a new endeavor here in Haverhill, monthly theme suggestions will be provided for your sign making. During April we honor our planet in celebration of Earth Day. If you want to join in this theme, try one of these slogans for your poster:
If you have any other issue that is important to you, grab that sign and join us. Remember, we’re at Bradford Common, not White’s Corner for this and future, more frequently scheduled standouts.

New 3rd LETTER CAMPAIGN – PLEASE SEND AGAIN!
This updated letter demands that Massport follows it own rules and the directive of Governor Healey.
This updated letter urges Massport leadership to immediately halt ICE charter flights from Hanscom Field that have been used to remove more than 2,000 Massachusetts residents without due process. Citing Governor Healey’s December 12 letter, binding Massachusetts case law, and recent federal court injunctions, it makes clear that Massport has the responsibility to stop facilitating these transfers, require transparency, enforce compliance with state law, and protect residents’ constitutional rights.
This version incorporates new developments. Even if you sent the previous version, sending the updated letter reinforces public pressure at a critical moment and ensures Massport hears that constituents expect immediate action based on the most current facts and legal landscape. Lexington Alarm’s form makes this quick and easy.
Take part in a new campaign to demand action from Massport organized by the De-ICE Hanscom coalition. To join their easy email- and letter-writing action, click here.
