The sign we had on display at Porter Square on Sunday was created by a local artist. She does not want to be the story; instead, she is making the sign available to any of us.
Below you will find printable letters to make your own sign!
But be aware, it takes up a lot of space, and you should try to waterproof it!
Bring your family, friends, your signs, your masks and join your neighbors at Porter Square Sunday at 10 am.
We will "Stand Out Against Racism" to show how upset we are with racism and the status quo.
At our meeting of June 18th, Phil Terzis of Acorn and Jeff Zinsmeyer of St. James Church walked us through the status and construction schedule. We also heard how they were managing social distancing, masks, and other means of protecting workers, etc.
Porter Square made the news today:
We will be Standing Out Against Racism again this Sunday at 10 am!
This is an interesting idea.
Calling all artists, and all empty storfronts, businesses in Cambridge,

To ensure public safety and accessibility, Scout will not be delivering print editions to newsstands and businesses during the pandemic. Our goal is to come back bigger and better. Your support will help make this massive undertaking possible.
This media in our region is often controlled by billionaires and hedge funds. Content farming and SEO hoarding are more prevalent than actual reporting. Which is why independent media is more important than ever.
Just bring your own sign (hand-written is very effective), your mask and stay socially distant. There is plenty of room around the Square and up/down Mass Ave.
We welcome ALL of our neighbors and friends to join us in reflecting how deeply concerned we are about racism in this country.
Update on construction at St. James and Frost Terrace
We will have folks from both St. James and Frost Terrace to talk with us about the resumption of construction, scheduling and any questions you may have about the process.
Please email me if you plan to attend, so I can send you the directions to join the call.

The neighborhood had another peaceful "Stand Out" at Porter Square to register our outrage over the killing of George Floyd by police officers. The outrage, of course, has spread to protest the structural racism in many other parts of our society.
Many of our protestors moved on at noon to a My Brother's Keeper voter registration event at Cambridge Common. A great idea!
And there are "stand outs" every night (at 6:30pm), in the median of Mass Ave/Linnaean St, and way down toward the Common.
