Human Rights

 

The promise of our democracy is one of full and equal freedoms for all of us. Not just for the wealthy or well connected. Not just for those of us that have access to the inner circle of government or big business. Our freedoms are etched in the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence and rely upon the people’s rights to be safe, loved and trusted. That’s what we are fighting for. That’s why we resist the unfettered power of autocrats. Our latest newsletter encourages us to “stand up and stand out” against the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle DEI, racist rhetoric, attacks on academic freedom and immigrants, and unspeakable transphobic policies.

If you can, plan to participate in upcoming standouts on June 7 in South Hadley and June 14 in Granby that are detailed in our newsletter. And, if you are able, please plan to support our FOOD DRIVE on June 28, which is part of a regional effort with DTCs in Granby, Belchertown, and Ludlow to address needs in our communities. This is a great time to grab extras of good sale items start to gather items from our cupboards to fill bags for the end of June!
