Neighbors,

Bring your family, friends, your home-made signs, your masks and join your neighbors at Porter Square to "Stand Out Against Racism" to show how concerned we are with institutional racism and the treatment of people of color by the police.

We welcome ALL of our neighbors and friends to join us. There is plenty of room around the Square and up/down Mass Ave to stay distanced and make an impact on passersby and drivers.

Thursday, May 21, 2020 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Having had no meeting in February, due to the COVID shutdown, including the shutdown of Lesley University Hall, we decided to check in virtually for our May meeting.

We held our first Zoom meeting on May 21st, simply to catch up. For nearly two hours we caught up on everyone's wellbeing in the neighborhood (either with us virtually) or by word of mouth.
