and others who work in the courts will gather in Boston in front of the

​

This is an opportunity for the legal community to express our solidarity
with the growing movements against the new regime and its white supremacist
agenda. We plan to stand in support of the hard won constitutional
protections for human rights, freedom of speech, the rule of law, etc.


We are hoping to highlight the perspectives of frontline communities, and
those of people who have been primary targets for the fascists, so far.
Speakers will include former political prisoner Kazi Toure.

We hope that attorneys in Massachusetts will be able to make one or the
other of these events.


And if you can make it, bring signs!


yours in solidarity,
