Brookline Rally for Democracy
January 3 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Brookline Rally for Democracy
Every Saturday at 1:00 PM | Coolidge Corner
Join members of three Brookline pro-democracy groups — indivisible Activist Evenings, Brookline Pax, and Speak Out, Seniors! — for our weekly rally at Coolidge Corner.
We gather to raise our voices and our signs in defense of democracy, justice, and decency — and to stand united against the abuses of the Trump administration and the forces that threaten our rights and freedoms.
We stand for:
• Immigrant rights, human rights, and racial justice
• Free speech, the Constitution, and the rule of law
• Access to health and healthcare for all
• Protection of our planet and the future we leave to the next generation
We choose empathy over cruelty, peace over violence, and hope over fear.
Our rallies are peaceful, spirited, and uplifting — a chance to connect, recharge, and stand up for what matters. Bring your friends, your voice, and your sign (or borrow one of ours!).
All are welcome! The rally is multi-generational and family-friendly; those using walkers or other mobility devices may use them to sit to participate.
In the event of inclement weather, we’ll each use our best judgment about whether to attend. We hope you’ll do the same!
Please join us, one rally at a time. We’ll continue for as long as it takes.

Solidarity Mobilization 2 Part Training Series
Virtual Event
December 3, 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EST
Across the country, immigrant communities are under attack, and authoritarian forces are gaining ground. But there’s a growing movement of people ready to take action with clarity, courage, and discipline. This training is for all of us who want to stand in solidarity, especially those prepared to organize, respond, and show up with commitment and care. Join us for Solidarity Mobilizations, a powerful two-part training series hosted by National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and Solidarity Organizing Initiative (SOI). We’ll break down the political moment we’re in, the authoritarian playbook driving these attacks, and share key concepts and tools to empower each of us to play the role we are called to in pushing back effectively and strategically. Each session will have live transcription and will be recorded. The recording will be sent out to everyone who registers within 48 hours after each session. In these two 75-minute sessions, you will: Learn to recognize and anticipate “Moments of Crisis” — and why they’re central to the authoritarian strategy Understand how direct support and crisis response work together in immigrant justice organizing Get grounded in the principles of strategic noncooperation and how it builds people power Learn how to build on direct support for immigrant communities Get clear on the next steps you’re taking in your community
Whether you’re brand new or have been in the fight for years, this training will give you political clarity, strategic tools, and an invitation to deepen your solidarity within our movement. This is just the beginning. Let’s get ready together.

GUN SAFETY ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
DONATE TO THESE NATIONAL GUN SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS:
Why donate to these organizations? Because THEY ARE OUR ANSWER TO THE NRA!! They are fighting for us and against gun violence. These three national organizations are the major opposition to gun lobbies. Their actions include: gun safety advocacy (including wider background checks); development and implementation of laws, policies, and programs to reduce gun violence; promotion of gun safety candidates; litigation; closing loopholes and pushing for greater accountability; violence intervention programs; education and community empowerment; and many other efforts and actions designed to change the gun culture/laws and reduce gun violence.
Giffords – Giffords
Founded by assassination attempt survivor and former Congresswoman, Gabby Giffords and husband Mark Kelly, former astronaut and current US Senator from Arizona. Giffords includes a Law Center and PAC, and is one of the most influential and effective organizations of its kind. Giffords and Kelly are highly familiar with Congress and what it takes to offset the gun lobbies’ influence.
Brady (formerly Handgun Control, Inc) – Brady
Founded by Jim (and Sarah) Brady, former White House Press Secretary and survivor of assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. Paralyzed by the attack, JIm Brady successfully lobbied Congress to pass the Brady Background Check (Brady Law), signed into law by President Clinton. The law requires background checks on all handgun purchases conducted by federally-licensed gun dealers.
Everytown For Gun Safety – Everytown
Formed by merger of: Mayors Against Illegal Guns (cofounded by then-mayors Mike Bloomberg and Thomas Menino) and Mothers Demand Action for Gun Sense in America (founded by mother of five, Shannon Watts, following the Sandy Hook tragedy).
