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!
Upcoming Events
Saturday, July 11, 1:00–3:00 p.m. | Declaring Independence: Then and Now, First Parish in Concord, 20 Lexington Rd.
In July 1776, Concord’s citizens heard the Declaration of Independence read aloud — and voted to accept it. Wright Tavern and Freedom’s Way are recreating that moment on the steps of First Parish. Hear the Declaration read, join the discussion, then cast your vote on ratification. Reception to follow. Grab a packet of postcards to North Carolina while you’re there! Reserve postcards

Join Concord Indivisible and First Parish’s Immigration Justice Task Force for a panel of attorneys and advocates on the front lines of immigrant rights — with concrete steps each of us can take. Summer pie and iced tea included. 🥧🧋 SIGN UP
Wednesday, July 15, 7:00 p.m. | Lightworkers documentary screening, Lexington Venue, 1794 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington
Thirty-seven diverse Americans confront the problem of saving democracy from fascism. Director Bobby Roth posed twelve questions to artists, activists, educators, and community leaders — asking what courage, empathy, and joy look like in turbulent times, and what each of us can do. The film moves past partisan framing to focus on shared human values and civic action, with a particular eye toward motivating midterm voters. Trailer and more
Saturday, July 18, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | De-ICE Citizens Bank standout, Concord Center
While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and GEO Group, Citizens Bank is deepening its support for the two largest private prison companies operating ICE detention facilities. Join us with banners, signs, and handouts to pressure Citizens to cut ties — and encourage people to move their money. Two shifts: 10–11 a.m. and 11 a.m.–12 p.m. Stay for one or both. 👉 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.
