Over the past nine months, Donald Trump has been waging an all-out assault on democracy in the United States. We know that when democracy is under attack, the answer is clear: stand up, fight back.
That’s what people will be doing across MA and across the country this weekend with No Kings rallies.
If you’re coming to the Boston rally this Saturday at noon on the Boston Common, swing by our table and say hi!
But there will also be rallies across the Commonwealth. Find one near you here.

Tuesday, 10/21: Speak Out with MEJA! Fully Fund Our Public Schools!
Please join us and raise your voice alongside MEJA and allies in support of our students and fully funding our public schools!
Time: Tuesday, October 21 at 3:00 pm
Location: State House steps (24 Beacon St, Boston)
Massachusetts is facing cuts to education and healthcare, but we have the power to stop irreversible harm to our students and our communities’ futures. The federal government continues to siphon funding and supports from our students, especially our special needs, multi-lingual, LGTBQ+, and lowest-income students. This year, the Governor vetoed critical funding to reimburse local school districts for funds lost to charter schools—money that is essential for supporting investments in our public schools. Now, state legislators have an opportunity to override the Governor’s veto and prevent further gaps in funding our classrooms.
Please register at https://actionnetwork.org/events/speak-out-with-meja-at-the-state-house and be part of our collective voice!
The community is demanding equitable funding! With Fair Share funds, we can prioritize closing funding and opportunity gaps. COME RALLY! COME SHOUT OUT! COME SPEAK OUT.

Protect Our Care: Stop the Cuts with Corporate Fair Share Town Halls
The Trump administration is taking away healthcare from working families and seniors so they can put more money into the pockets of billionaires and big corporations. Here in Massachusetts, we could lose as much as $3.5 billion in federal aid that pays for health care, education, and food access for hundreds of thousands of people. We simply can’t afford the harm that will cause.
That’s why we’re supporting Raise Up Massachusetts’s Corporate Fair Share campaign. The Corporate Fair Share bill would raise critical new revenue by requiring large multinational corporations like Amazon and Walmart to pay our existing corporate tax rate on more of the profits they hide overseas.
Join Raise Up Mass for an upcoming town hall to discuss how we can prevent cuts by tapping into the rainy day fund and ensuring that large corporations pay their fair share.
COMING UP:
- Wednesday, October 22 in Lynn
- Thursday, October 23 in Springfield
- Monday, October 27 in Lawrence
- Tuesday, October 28 in Brockton
