General Meetings
JOIN US every 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Pollard Memorial Library from 6-8pm
Next Meeting, September 8th
Meet the Candidates for 16th, 17th, and 18th Middlesex Districts this Wednesday, August 19th, 6-8pm at Mercier Center, 21 Salem St, Lowell.
Rep. Lori Trahan (MA-3) wants to take AI safety out of your hands. She has teamed up with Republican Jay Obernolte on the FRONTIER Act, stripping every state of the power to regulate AI development. And it never expires.
Over 200 lawmakers, 100 organizations, and 4,000 Massachusetts residents have told her to stop. She released a tougher draft anyway.
On August 20th, we’re bringing it to her door. Join QuitGPT, 50501MA, UMass Lowell College Democrats, Young People’s Alliance MA, VOT Boston, and more outside her district office to demand she vote NO on the FRONTIER Act and reject donations from Big AI.
Timeline:
4:45 – Meet at Kerouac park
5:00 – Walk over to Trahan’s office
5:10 – Deliver printed petitions
5:30 – Meet back at Kerouac park.
5:30-6:30 – Speeches from local activists and politicians. Chalking. Handing out flyers.
Hold Lori Trahan Accountable.
Protest Thursday, August 20th, 4:45pm at Jack Kerouac Park
PAST EVENTS
Thank you to all who showed up to our Good Trouble standout on Friday, July 17th, co-hosted with Solidarity Lowell. Your steady presence reminds our neighbors that our community cares and shows up. Lowell and the United States were built on the backs of immigrants. It is our civic duty to do something, whether that's to pressure our elected officials, work to get progressive candidates elected, join an organization that brings mutual aid to immigrants afraid to leave their home, or visually stand outside in protest. We stand in solidarity. Make Good Trouble!
Thank you for joining us for Good Trouble!
NO KINGS
NO KINGS III
Thank you for joining us to protest the wannabe KING in the White House!
Hundreds of resisters from Lowell and surrounding towns gathered on Kerouac Park to be part of the largest protest in US history! They showed up to connect, organize, and protest in unity with millions of others across this great nation to show Trump that more people disapprove of him than approve. We will not let his regime bulldoze our democracy and destroy our country. Courage is contagious. As long as we continue to get out and voice our dissent, we will eventually turn the tide in the direction of democracy again.
Speaker list: Congresswoman Lori Trahan, Senator Vanna Howard, State Rep Tara Hong, Lt. Colonel Dan Ward (ret), Exec Director of MVP Julio Mejia, UML College Dem Dejah Gutierrez, LHS student, Jada Herring, emcee of the day Brad Buitenhuys. Music by No Planet B.
NO KINGS II
Thank you for joining us in saying NO KINGS in AMERICA!
To all of you who joined us at Boarding House Park, we thank you! At least 800 of you showed up in solidarity, to not only protest the wannabe dictator in the white house, but to show love and support for you neighbors, friends, family, and community.
No Kings Day was a rousing success because of your commitment to standing up against authoritarianism through nonviolent and lawful means. They tried to paint us as violent extremists, and we showed up centering joy, some as frogs, dinosaurs, bananas and many other inventive costumes, but all of us as grandparents, parents, children, neighbors, laborers, we all see a better path for this country.
NO KINGS I
Thank you for joining our mass protest against Trump!
Thank you for all who gathered in downtown Lowell to make it clear that we won’t be ruled by fear! You joined more than five million Americans, in over 2,100 towns and cities, to say WE DON’T DO KINGS IN AMERICA!
All told, this is shaping up to be on of the largest protest in American history! It’s at least 50% larger than the then-record-breaking April Hands Off! protest. And in addition to being notably larger, the crowds were notably diverse in age and race. It was a real demonstration of what pluralistic democracy looks like in this country.
