The Washington Elm on Cambridge Common, where Washington took command of the Army, est 250 years ago today. We returned here to remember those first Americans who sacrificed for our enduring pursuit of liberty in the face of oppression, economic threats, military rule, and abuse of power.
Cambridge, MA is the birthplace of the #USArmy We honor the New Englanders who were the first to defend our American ideals & to sacrifice their lives for those ideals. Individuals are mortal but liberty, justice, learning, decency, and freedom are eternal.

Apparently some people are interested in having a baby boom right now. We took to Abigail Adams’s (a revolutionary among revolutionaries) girlhood home with a few ideas of what might help make that happen; basically, respect women.
Things have felt scary in so many eras of our country’s history. The fear we feel in this moment is how we know it’s our time to act as Americans always have: to preserve the liberties former generations fought for and to further those causes for future generations. You aren’t alone.
Our work may be centered in Boston, but support is coming from across the nation.
We have been so moved by the kind messages from Massachusetts to Kentucky to Hawaii. Many folks mention that our work gives them hope, and we wanted you to know that your responses give us hope in return.

Cheers!
60 years later, we bring Dr. King’s words back to Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common. April 23, 1965 he led the first Civil Rights March in the Northeast and spoke from these steps. His words are no less relevant today.

The group is finding ways to both react to events as they unfold in real time and mark the anniversary of the Revolutionary War with messages about the Trump administration’s abuses of power.

In the hour of darkness and peril and fear, let’s all channel a little Paul Revere.

ON APRIL 18, 1775, PAUL REVERE raced from Boston to spread the warning that British troops would be threatening the countryside come morning. Two lanterns were hung in this steeple to communicate to nearby patriots where the threat was coming from; ONE if by LAND TWO if by SEA
PAUL REVERE'S midnight message reverberated through the countryside and by the following day 4,000 patriots answered the call to PROTECT THE LIBERTY of their NEIGHBORS, their FAMILIES, and THEMSELVES in the first battle of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION,
250 years later, tyranny has returned. Let us honor the moral fortitude and bravery of Paul Revere and those 4,000 Massachusetts patriots and send forth the "cry of defiance and not fear." Let Boston once more be the BEACON in the country's hour of darkness and relight the rallying signal to protect our liberty. ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY D.C.
Let #Boston once more be the beacon in the country’s hour of darkness and relight the rallying signal to protect our liberty.
One if by land, two if by D.C.

250 years later and the threat has returned. We brought our lanterns to Old North Church to relight the signals calling patriots to protect our liberty

I can confirm, as a guy whose first “acting job” was as a tour guide/reenactor at the Boston Tea Party Ship Museum.
In the 1770s the Intolerable Acts were economic threats intended to cripple us into submission. Once again we find ourselves faced with intolerable actions that threaten our prosperity, happiness and freedom. Boston wouldn’t stand for it then & we won’t now.

I am! That’s so nice to hear! Thanks for all of the work you are doing
The Sons of Liberty sent out this call in 1773, and it echoes still today. Tyranny once again stares us in the face, so we resist. We unite. We boycott. We protest. We do what Boston does for America.

The call rings out again: every friend to this country, to themself, and to posterity is called to The Common at 11am on April 5th, to make a united and successful resistance to every destructive measure of this administration.
