Brookline Rally for Democracy Every Saturday at 1:00 PM | Coolidge Corner Join members of three Brookline pro-democracy groups — indivisible Activist Evenings, Brookline Pax, and Speak Out, Seniors! — for our weekly rally at Coolidge Corner. We gather to raise our voices and our signs in defense of democracy, justice, and decency — and to stand united against the abuses of the Trump administration and the forces that threaten our rights and freedoms. We stand for: • Immigrant rights, human rights, and racial justice • Free speech, the Constitution, and the rule of law • Access to health and healthcare for all • Protection of our planet and the future we leave to the next generation We choose empathy over cruelty, peace over violence, and hope over fear. Our rallies are peaceful, spirited, and uplifting — a chance to connect, recharge, and stand up for what matters. Bring your friends, your voice, and your sign (or borrow one of ours!). All are welcome! The rally is multi-generational and family-friendly; those using walkers or other mobility devices may use them to sit to participate. In the event of inclement weather, we’ll each use our best judgment about whether to attend. We hope you’ll do the same! Please join us, one rally at a time. We’ll continue for as long as it takes.
