Franklin: Neighbors Protecting Neighbors

Immigration enforcement is increasingly visible in our communities, creating fear and uncertainty for many of our neighbors.

Join us for an evening of learning and discussion with Heather Yountz of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute and local volunteers connected to Signs of Solidarity and LUCE. We will share what is happening now, how communities are responding, and practical ways to support immigrant neighbors. The evening will include a presentation, small group discussion, and shared resources. All are welcome.

Hosted by Resistance Rising, a democracy action group of the Upper Charles region. 

The event will be Tuesday, January 20 from 7-9 in Franklin. Register here for location details.

MNW Action Hub Welcome

Welcome to the MNW Action Hub!

Across the Metrowest-Norfolk-Worcester area, we are standing up, speaking out, and taking action in record numbers. With massive rally crowds and sold-out events, it's clear we have passion and momentum. This group was created to work more efficiently across the many local groups responsible for this surge in activism.

The MNW Action hub has three core functions:

1. To serve as a clearinghouse for best practice in activism. We'll help area organizations share their successful activities through "how to" blog posts and a robust set of digital resources. Want to access our files? Fill out the Best Practice Clearinghouse Share Request. Want to share a practice? Fill out the MNW Best Practice Clearinghouse Submission.

2. To maintain a coordinated calendar of area events and activities so that, at any time, activists can find actions that match their schedules and areas of interest. Want to add an event to our calendar? Fill out the Calendar Input Form. Want to embed our calendar on your website? Request the embed code.

3. To encourage folks to find groups in their area and get more deeply involved in organizing. We have a solid set of generals. We have a lot of foot soldiers. We need some colonels and majors to help things run more smoothly. Ready to level up? Find a local group here. Or, help out the hub by emailing us.

This is where action meets impact. Let’s keep moving forward!
