We’re Concord-area progressives
determined to save our democracy and rights.
Win the 2026 midterms:
Stop the Con-Mander-in-Thief.
We know Trump and his allies will do everything they can to suppress Democratic turnout. So we’ll do everything we can to out-organize them.
From now through November, we’ll share easy, high-impact actions to reach infrequent voters in key swing states — persuading them that electing Democrats will improve their lives and guiding them through the process of casting their vote.
Stand up and stand together!
Friday, June 12, 7:00 p.m. | “The Future of Democracy,” First Parish in Concord, 20 Lexington Rd.
A live, interview-style conversation with Danielle Allen, Harvard professor and director of the Allen Lab for Democratic Renovation. Kick off the weekend with big ideas and a searching discussion of what we can do to shape democracy’s future.
Saturday, June 13, 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. | Democracy & Freedom Fair, First Parish in Concord, 20 Lexington Rd.
A free, all-ages celebration of community and democracy. Connect with local action groups, enjoy kids’ games and hands-on activities, grab food from local trucks, and catch live music from Anna Huckabee Tull & Eric Kilburn and the Middlesex Activist Band. Wright Tavern tours and a beer garden open during and after the fair. Rain moves it inside. Celebrate community. Celebrate participation. Celebrate democracy.
Sunday, June 14, 7:00–9:00 p.m. | Rise Up, Sing Out Watch Party, Wright Tavern, Concord
Join us for an inspiring evening of music, solidarity, and action. Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment is a 90-minute livestream concert featuring an all-star lineup, celebrating the freedoms of speech, press, assembly, religion, and protest — and the people power needed to defend them. (It’s also counter-programming to Trump’s depraved birthday UFC fight.)
We’ll gather at Wright Tavern to watch together, sing along, and connect with neighbors about what we can do locally and nationally. BYOB and BYOsnacks. Arrive at 7 p.m.; the concert begins at 7:30. SIGN UP
Every Thursday, *new time* 4:00–5:30pm | Concord Center stand-out, Monument Square. Bring a sign! We’ll have our No King/Fight Tyranny lawn signs, buttons and magnets available! All are welcome — from Concord and beyond.
Every Wednesday, 11am-1pm | Bearing Witness to ICE, Burlington. Stand in solidarity outside the ICE Enforcement & Removal Operations Office. Together, we can show love and support for immigrants, express our shame at ICE, and bear witness to the cruel and unconstitutional actions of our government. Info/Sign Up
One of the most important things we can do to resist authoritarian intimidation is to show up — to demonstrate to others that ordinary people like them understand that things are not normal, not okay, and not acceptable. This “social proof” gives more folks — inside and outside government — the courage to resist.
Would you like a shirt with the “No King” or NEW “Fight Tyranny” design?
You can pick up one of our lawn signs at any of our events, including our standouts in Monument Square (3:00–4:00pm every Thursday). Watch the newsletter for updates.
