SUMMARY:Boston May Day 2025: Workers Should Have Power\, Not The Billionaires!
DESCRIPTION:Boston May Day 2025: Workers Should Have Power\, Not The Billionaires!\n\n\n\n\n\nAcross the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago\, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits\, healthcare over hedge funds\, housing over homelessness. \nMusk\, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages\, on benefits\, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights\, break our unions\, and silence immigrant voices. \nMay Day 2025 we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing\, healthcare\, fair wages\, union protection\, and safety—regardless of race\, zip code\, or immigration status. \nThey’re defunding our schools\, privatizing public services\, attacking unions\, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. \nThis May Day\, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead\, immigrants are protected\, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites\, and we will not be intimidated by Trump\, Musk\, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up. \nSTOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

SUMMARY:JP Progressives Presents Democracy Noir
DESCRIPTION:JP Progressives Presents Democracy Noir\nJPP\, along with Indivisible Boston\, is excited to announce a screening of Democracy Noir\, a documentary film that provides a sweeping account of one of the most consequential regimes of this century\, on Friday\, April 25 at 6:30 pm. It paints an incisive portrait of how Viktor Orbán used a free and democratic election to install authoritarian rule in Hungary\, enjoying widespread approval from Hungarian nationalists as well as global conservative neighbors inclined to his illiberal views. He changed the constitution\, took over the courts\, dismantled the rule of law\, and took over the media. Revered by Donald Trump and the Heritage Foundation\, Orban’s influence helped shape Project 2025 and the current policies of the Republican party. \nWe are incredibly fortunate that Academy Award–nominated and Emmy-winning director/producer Connie Field will be there to present the film and answer questions. You can watch the trailer here. \nRegistration is required for this event. Please register at tinyurl.com/JPPDemocracyNoir.

SUMMARY:Lobby Day for Human Rights and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Lobby Day for Human Rights and Freedom\nA lobby day is a day when advocates and community members come to the State House and visit legislative offices to try to speak with legislators and legislative aides about why particular bills are important to them. This lobby day is cohosted by: Families for Justice as Healing\, Prisoners’ Legal Services of MA\, Keeping Families Connected Coalition\, Massachusetts Against Solitary Confinement\, Progressive MA\, The Campaign to End Life Without Parole\, and Drop LWOP New England. \nPeople who are in prison and jail need meaningful pathways to release\, conditions of confinement that support personal growth and prepare them for re-entry\, and to strengthen their connections with family and community. We hope that the lobby day will help illustrate these needs to legislators. \nIf you are interested in joining us\, please fill out this form ASAP and ideally before Monday\, March 31st  so that we can identify which volunteers will visit which legislative offices. If you have never participated in a lobby day\, don’t worry – we will be providing training on lobby day logistics\, how to speak to legislators and staffers\, and talking points on each bill. You can find factsheets on these bills on the PLS website at https://plsma.org/legislation.

SUMMARY:Life as a Federal Worker: A Chat with Katherine Royce
DESCRIPTION:Life as a Federal Worker: A Chat with Katherine Royce\nJoin JPP and Katherine Royce on Monday\, April 14 at 6:00 pm via Zoom for a talk about what it’s like to be a federal employee in Washington\, DC in these uncertain times. \nKatherine says: I am a recent law school grad and just started my first legal job at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in September 2024. I was fired illegally on 2/13 and un-fired on 2/20\, possibly because I revealed live on national news that I was scared I would lose the health insurance to pay for an MRI to make sure the brain tumor that almost killed me in 2023 has not returned. Since then\, I have been on administrative leave\, with only a few tasks starting to trickle back in as court orders change. \nWe look forward to seeing you on the Zoom next week and to getting an inside look at life in DC right now from Katherine Royce. \nRegister here!
