From Our Chair, Bob Binney: Join Us at Our Next Meeting, Tonight, Tuesday, April 21st.

I do hope that everyone is holding on as we face another day in this world of complete insanity. It is unscripted territory; no one could have ever imagined. it

Now for the good news: No, actually, GREAT news. One of Trump's idols, Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, and a dictator for 16 years, is OUT! People have been literally dancing in the streets of Budapest.

There is light at the end of our nightmare ... but we must keep "doing something" Our time will come!

Please join us for our next meeting, Tuesday, April 21st, 7PM, Community Church of Boston, 565 Boylston Street, 2nd floor. We'd love to see you in person, but I have sent a meeting reminder with a Zoom link, if you need it.

Also: here is an invitation from Noah Walsh, one of our newer and very involved Ward 5 Committee members.

"During our last few meetings, we discussed the Minneapolis, Minnesota, Strikes in January of this year. If you, like me, what to know more about how these strikes were organized and made effective, please consider joining me and other active Bostonians for a preview film screening that will hopefully enlighten us on what Massachusetts can learn from this historic strike.

Minnesota's Resistance: Lesson For Massachusetts

How did ordinary people in Minnesota organize effectively to support their vulnerable neighbors and defeat the violent ICE invasion of their community? How can we apply those lesson learned here in Massachusetts, and in other communities? Join prizewinning PBS filmmaker Patrice O'Neil, founder of the Not in Our Town movement, for a preview of selected clips from her forthcoming documentary,
"Minnesota Neighbors: Not in Our Town." It will be followed by a panel discussion with community organizers from ACLU, MIRA Coalition, LUCE, Dunk the Vote, and the Boston Trainers Collective.

The screening and Q &A will be at Suffolk Law School, 120 Tremont Street, Keches Auditorium on Wednesday, April 29th, from 5:30 to 7:30PM." Seating may be limited, so please RVSP using this link.

Quote of Our Time:

"America is not like a blanket—one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt—many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.

"The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the business person, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay, and the disabled make up the American quilt. Even in our fractured state, all of us count and fit somewhere. "

-The Late Jesse Jackson, at the Democratic National Convention, San Francisco, 1984
