Hands off Boston! Hands off Massachusetts! Hands off America! The federal administration thinks this country belongs to them—and that they're above the law. They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our rights, our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. But as Mayor Wu put it — two weeks after standing up for Boston’s immigrants in Congress and one week after Boston became a sanctuary city for the LGBTQ+ community — “No one tells Boston how to take care of our own, not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings… God save whoever messes with Boston.”

On Saturday, April 5th, a coalition of Massachusetts resistance groups is taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Because we will always protect our neighbors, regardless of their race, their gender or sexuality, where they were born, or their choice or lack of religion.

Senator Ed Markey called for 100,000 people on Boston Common to show that Massachusetts is ready to protect democracy—and we the people are ready to show up. We the people means EVERYBODY!
