Neighbors,

We invite you to join us at Porter Square - Sunday, Nov 15, at 10 am! 

We can talk about the failure to pass police reform yet in MA. We need to all write/call the Shead of Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. Tell them we want the bill now!

I am hoping we can make a few new signs, saying something like, "Where is Police Reform in MA??" and "We Vow to Make Racism History".
