SUMMARY:Vigil at ICE Burlington
DESCRIPTION:There is no sign-up for this stand out. Just show up. ICE has shifted their activity to avoid the Wednesday vigils and a new Thursday vigil is growing. Arrive at 10:45am and look for BVOCAL members Peter Thorlichen and Erica Weiss near the tree in the grassy area. There will be a short program and BVOCAL will lead singing at approximately 11:15 before folks spread out with their signs to line the street.

SUMMARY:SEIU 509 statewide membership meeting
DESCRIPTION:BVOCAL has been invited to lead singing at the SEIU 509 statewide membership meeting on October 18. This represents a huge step forward in our mission of reviving a singing tradition across social justice movements. Every union meeting\, even one focused on the business of bylaws and elections\, should have singing! \n\n\nYou can SIGN UP NOW. This is just before the No Kings Rally.  Best is if you can do both :).  (The signup link is  the same for both actions). The SEIU action will take place between 10:30 and 11:30am at the Park Plaza hotel in downtown Boston. Then we’ll have time for a short break (the union will provide us with a room to hang out in) before walking just a few blocks to Boston Common for No Kings where we will likely sing between 12:30 and 1:30pm.

SUMMARY:No Kings Rally
DESCRIPTION:Boston has been chosen by national organizers as one of the flagship sites for the October 18 No Kings call to save democracy. BVOCAL has been invited to sing on the main stage! The current plan is to lead the crowd in singing “That’s America” and “First Amendment” (more and more relevant everyday). With possible collaborations with drummers and/or the Good Trouble Brass Band\, we’ll be ready to make some good noise. We may also sing an additional song to support a theatrical piece by Boston’s Creative Resistance Team. \nBVOCAL has also been invited to lead singing at the SEIU 509 statewide membership meeting on October 18.
