SUMMARY:Worcester’s Incredible History of Activism
DESCRIPTION:This a local Indivisible event! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorcester has a storied history of activism from the Worcester Revolution in 1774\, to hosting the first national Women’s Rights Convention in 1850\, to being a hub of anti-war activity in the 60’s and 70’s. Worcester was a prominent center of abolitionist activity characterized by the Underground Railroad and in 1854\, famously ran a federal slave catcher out of town. Worcester was the home of well-known activists including Isaiah Thomas\, Abby Kelley Foster\, and Abbie Hoffman\, and frequently hosted former slave and abolitionist\, Frederick Douglas\, who spoke at Mechanics Hall and Worcester City Hall. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome support a local business by having coffee and dessert while learning these fascinating stories that teaches us about the power of activism. Come hear Claire Schaeffer-Duffy\, a local peace activist\, journalist\, and co-founder of Sts. Francis and Therese Catholic Worker\, tell these stories of power and resistance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Exact Details\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.
