SUMMARY:Speak Their Names: A Boston Massacre Anniversary Vigil | Protest in Dedham
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Neponset Valley Progressives and Dedham Democrats \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen shots were fired in Boston on March 5\, 1770\, colonists responded with outrage\, demanding a government that answered to and protected the people.  The parallels between events culminating in the Boston Massacre\, and those taking place today are striking. Like British troops back then\, ICE and CBP agents are occupying our cities to enforce\, even violently\, the whims of an autocrat. To highlight those parallels\, Neponset Valley Progressives and the Dedham Democratic Town Committee will sponsor a candlelight vigil in Dedham Square. On that date\, we will hold (already-created) signs bearing the names of each person killed by ICE and CBP along with those who have died in ICE custody. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn March 5\, 2026\, we gather in that same spirit for a candlelight vigil to remember those who have died in ICE custody and to resist policies that strip people of their rights. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe need at least 50 people to hold signs memorializing the 40+ people who have died in ICE custody since early 2025. We will supply the signs and candles. Church bells will ring and songs will be sung. \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.
