Taking to the Streets
Unfortunately, it has come to this. Trump and his Project 2025 road map to Oligarchy has left us no choice. We have to take to the streets.
I hope you have already made plans to attend one of the many rallies and demonstrations scheduled for Saturday, April 5th. If you haven’t yet, check out the information below in the CAD Dispatch.
We need BIGGER NUMBERS in FEWER PLACES this time, and we need EVERYONE to show up.
If taking to the streets is not in your comfort zone, you’re not alone. But when the going gets tough, the tough take to the streets. This is where we are.
We must come together and show them: we won’t stop fighting until we win!
If you’re looking for t-shirts, signs and buttons, here’s a link to the “Protest Gear” collection at our merch partner, YellowDoveStore.com. All of the items in the graphic above are there, and more!
Hope to see you all on April 5th,
EBFreed
Tonight - EB Freed and Billy J speaks at the Monthly Membership Meeting LDTC
Tonight at 6:30, Bill and I are speaking at the Longmeadow Democratic Town Committee Membership meeting at the Adult Center. Our subject is “Activism 101 - How it’s changed in 2025.” We would love to see you there. Here’s a link to the slide show we’ll be presenting.
Today’s Actions > CAD Dispatch
CAD Team Weekly Action Dispatch - March 26, 2025
Each week, the CAD receives suggested actions from a wide range of activists through the CAD Team Action Submission Form, and works with legislative experts, including the ACLU, Common Cause, and MIRA (Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition) to vet and prioritize a short list of actions for the week.
Please consider doing these priority CAD actions before you do other actions this week, so we can multiply our power and increase our impact! All actions can be done either by individuals or groups.
NOTE: If you read our last dispatch, you know that top priority is — of course! – April 5th! That’s when we’ll protest nationwide to stop Trump and Musk's illegal power grab in “Hand’s Off” rallies. BIGGER NUMBERS ARE NEEDED in fewer places for this action!
Here in MA we are organizing a large state-wide rally and march in Boston, kicking off at 11:00AM from the Parkman Bandstand. Event information can be found here. Group leaders, consider becoming an event co-sponsor, by filling out this form. If you can’t make it (or even if you CAN) consider making a donation here to help the steering committee rent a stage, sound system, security and other necessities. Lastly, volunteers are needed. If anyone in your group would like to help out the day of the event, they can complete this form.
In addition, today’s CAD Priority Actions:
Coordinated Tesla Takedowns - This Saturday 3/19 - Peaceful protest actions taken at Tesla showrooms everywhere!
Stop the SAVE Act - The so called “SAVE Act” (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) will do the opposite. It’s designed to reduce the number of people who can legally vote.
Threat of DOE Take Down (Source: Indivisible) - Trump wants to take us back to 1867 when there was no Department of Education. (That’s what Oligarchs do.)
Up Next! - Postcards to NY
IN OUR NEXT POST, on Saturday 3/29, we’ll start taking orders for our next big Postcards to Voters campaign! We’re writing to voters in NY, asking them to elect Democrat Blake Gendebien to replace Elise Stefanik (who Trump has nominated as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations). This could have a major impact on the balance of power in the US House of representatives! It could be a game changer!
