SUMMARY:Rethinking Incarceration with Dominique Gilliard
DESCRIPTION:As we know\, the US has more people locked up in jails\, prisons\, and detention centers than any other country in the history of the world. We also know that the criminal justice system is plagued with bias and unjust practices. And the church has unwittingly contributed to the problem\, something that we may not know. Dominique Gilliard explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration\, examining the churches’ role in its evolution and expansion. He then shows how we can pursue justice that restores and reconciles\, offering creative solutions and highlighting innovative interventions. The church has the power to help transform our criminal justice system. Discover how you can participate in the restorative justice needed to bring authentic rehabilitation\, lasting transformation\, and healthy reintegration to this broken system. Hope you will join us. Please rsvp so we can plan to have enough space for you.  \n \n\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDjYMHXBAOFBCW5DWgKSlje3NCc33KfKdA_PRtiCZzQYUHNQ/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1498135098&entry.2606285

SUMMARY:March for Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:March 24 – 12:00-5:00 p.m.\, Boston Common\n \nMarch for Our Lives\n \nIn the words of survivors of the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland\, “This is it.” \n \nEmma Gonzalez\, David Hogg\, Alex Wind and Jaclyn Corin are just a few of the many students of Stoneman Douglas who endured the tragic shooting that lost the lives of 17 of their peers\, faculty\, teachers\, and community members. But with 30 mass shootings in the meager two-month expanse of 2018\, they stand amongst fellow students\, survivors\, and fed-up citizens across the country in demanding to lawmakers “this is it.” This must be a legislative turning point for our country in regards to gun control. This. is. not. normal. So together with fellow students and survivors they are calling for a “March for Our Lives.”\n \nHere in Boston – we heed their call.

SUMMARY:Tax Day: Repeal the Trump Tax\, Pass the People's Budget
DESCRIPTION:We are facing ominous budget developments in Washington. \nPresident Trump’s tax bill is ensuring billions of dollars in profits to large corporations and peanuts to working people. His Pentagon spending will lead to more wars\, the deaths of innocent civilians\, and less security in our own safety. Cuts in essential programs from Climate protection to Medicaid\, Housing\, Social Security and Medicare are imminent. We must turn around Washington’s budget insanity. \n-The Trump/Ryan tax cuts for the 1% will drain the treasury of over $1.5 trillion of needed revenue over the next 10 years. These deficits will drive deep cuts to Medicare\, Medicaid\, climate and other vital programs for years to come. \n-Congress has voted dramatic increases in war spending and first-strike nuclear weapons. These will make the world much more dangerous and drive further cuts to our economic\, social and environmental security. \n-President Trump’s latest Budget proposal makes draconian cuts to housing\, Medicaid\, food stamps\, and almost every other domestic program. \n-And to top it all of\, Trump has still refused to release his tax returns \nJoin us on Tax Day to call attention to these dangers while promoting our budget priorities to fund the programs we all need.

SUMMARY:2018 March for Science Boston
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce that we will be doing a 2018 March for Science in Boston! \nPLEASE RSVP AND SHARE: http://marchforscienceboston.betterfutureproject.org/rsvp \nPLEASE DONATE AND SHARE – https://marchforscienceboston-betterfutureproject.nationbuilder.com/donate \nAt the 2017 March for Science\, tens of thousands of us came together to defend science against the assault by leaders in our federal government\, and to proclaim the importance of science in public policy and celebrate the discovery\, understanding\, and sharing of scientific knowledge as crucial to the success\, health\, and safety of the human race. Together\, we were part of more than one million people around the world who gathered together in the largest event for science advocacy in history. \nOn Saturday\, April 14th\, we will continue to use the momentum of last year’s march to once again lift up these same themes and ideals\, but we won’t stop there. In 2018\, we’ll also take the offensive and rally behind specific climate legislation that will advance certain science- and evidence-based policy in the Massachusetts state legislature\, with an eye to passage this year. In 2018 in Massachusetts\, science is striking back! \nPlease spread the word far and wide and join us for this historic occasion! \nPlease note that this year’s rally will still contain a broader focus on the importance of science in policy\, the need for well-funded scientific research\, and the importance of diversity and inclusion within the sciences\, but for Boston\, our theme this year will be around climate science\, and advancing science-based climate policy in the Massachusetts State Legislature.

SUMMARY:May Day 2018 - Resist Deportations
DESCRIPTION:Join us on International Workers Day \nThe government in Washington is leading a generalized assault on our lives\, rights\, and living conditions. The wealth gap today is greater than at any time in history. From the racist attacks on Muslims\, Migrants\, and African-Americans to attacks on healthcare\, women\, and LGBT folks\, and from attacks on our environment and education\, to perpetual wars\, working people are under fire. The leading edge of this assault today is the stepped up attacks against migrants. Deportations are accelerating. As US wars have created massive debt and refugees internationally\, the consequences of corporate greed at home have created refugees within our own borders. The recent tax cuts for the rich will be at our expense. Millions of youth and decent hard working people are under attack! \nStudent debt stands at over a trillion dollars! Claiming that human caused climate change is a “hoax”\, the Trump Administration has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord. The falsehood of this claim was yet again demonstrated by the horrendous hurricanes that devastated the Gulf Coast and Caribbean. Enough is enough! An injury to one is an injury to all! Let us stand together and build a united movement.

SUMMARY:VIGIL to Condemn Human Rights Violations at the US Border
DESCRIPTION:June 28 – 6:00-7:00 p.m.\, Massachusetts Statehouse\n \nVIGIL to Condemn Human Rights Violations at the US Border\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the 2009 coup and the subsequent increasing violence\, more than 100 members of Congress have repeatedly warned the State Department (first under Clinton and then Secretary John Kerry) about the deteriorating security situation in Honduras. The homicide rate in Honduras\, already one of the highest in the world\, increased by 50 percent from 2008 to 2013; political repression\, the murder of opposition political candidates\, peasant organizers\, environmental defenders like Bertha Caceres and LGBT activists increased and continue to this day.\n\nThe violence and insecurity were exacerbated by a generalized institutional collapse. Drug-related violence has worsened amid allegations of rampant corruption in Honduras’ police and government. Honduran security forces have engaged in a wave of killings and other human rights crimes with impunity. Many of these same security forces receive their training in the U.S. and are heavily armed and supplied with aid dollars from Washington.\n\nWe stand up to loudly denounce the bipartisan hypocrisy and lack of regard for the human rights of Central Americans and demand immediate relief for those seeking safe haven from the conditions for which OUR government is largely responsible!\n\nFor more information contact:\nPatricia Montes\, Centro Presente (617) 483 2937
