250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
2026-07-19 13:30 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Downtown Boston
BVOCAL and the Good Trouble Brass Band are planning “pop-up concerts” to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and join a national call for a weekend of action, “Good Trouble Lives On.”

On summer weekends, downtown Boston is busy with tourists visiting historic sites.
Our goal is to reach a broad audience with our message:
The rights enshrined in our country’s founding documents are at risk.

We will perform the 15-minute pop-up concert several times in multiple locations downtown Boston.

Note: If you signed up for the July 3rd pop-up concerts that were cancelled due to the heat, you must sign up again to get details for this new date.

Tufts Union Rally - SEIU 32BJ
2026-09-03 15:30 - 16:30 | MA
Workers in the Tufts Facilities Department, members of SEIU 32BJ, are holding a rally to demand that the university bargain in good faith.
Despite widespread community support, including a resolution from Medford City Hall and a petition calling for a fair contract signed by over 600 campus community members, contract negotiations have gone nowhere.
This is one more example of how workers are being denied a living wage while in 2025 billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer.
