"They tried to come for the marginalized But we are standing to say... NOT THIS TIME!" #bostonresist #resist #boston #solidarity (at Boston Common)
Boston: Fight Supremacy! Counter-Protest & Resistance Rally
Saturday, August 19 - 10:00 am to 5:30 pm
Boston Common, 139 Tremont Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108
On Saturday, August 19th, White Nationalists are converging on Boston Common to reinforce their white supremacist ideology and attempt to intimidate queer and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, POC) communities. As we have seen with the events in Charlottesville and around the country, white nationalists are emboldened by the current political administration and growing police state. Rallies and marches organized by white supremacists are more prevalent than in recent years, and—as always—it is the most marginalized who are left vulnerable. Walk with us as we march from the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Centerto Boston Common (1.9 miles) and Rally for Black Lives, LGBTQI Lives, Indigenous Lives, Palestinian Lives, Cape Verde Lives, Latinx Lives, Jewish Lives, and all who are marginalized! We will meet in front of the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center at 10am before marching to Boston Commons to demand justice and stand in defiance of white supremacy.
Coordinated by: Violence In Boston, Angie Camacho, Black Lives Matter Network, Black Lives Matter Cambridge, and Black Lives Matter Boston STARTING PLACE: Reggie Lewis Athletic Center, 1350 Tremont Street, Boston, MA. ENDING PLACE: Boston Common, 139 Tremont Street, Boston, MA. MEETING TIME: 10:00 am (Those who can't march may intercept us at the Boston Commons, but PLEASE beware of nazi presence.)

Who?
Who made you mad? I feel bad for And about you. Who put you in a box With only your kind And said “This is fine In fact, it’s best. The rest is not For you.”
Who blinded you To the beauty Of someone different? Someone new?
Who left you? Who left you alone At your computer? At your TV?
Who gave you a gun Instead of love? A shove instead of A handshake?
Who told you to toughen up You’re a wimp, you’re small? That this is it. This is all. Who told you that You don’t matter, So no one does? Nothing does?
Who taught you Fear and to say “I am not afraid. Fear me.”
Who took away Your interest and empathy? Your books? Your education? Your job?
Who warped your disillusion Into delusion?
Who lied to you And told you The Good Ol’ Days’ were Great when there’s Always been war? We’ve been here before And again and again, When did you Lose your youth? Who took it from you?
Tell the truth. Who?
Because it wasn’t me. It wasn’t us. You point across, When you should point up.
The photo on the top is the entire "free speech" rally. On the bottom is the protest crowd. And the #blm marchers, apparently thousands strong, haven't even arrived yet! #resist #boston #standwithsolidarity #bostonresist (at Boston Common)
