On Saturday, April 19, protesters will pick up where they left off on April 5 with demonstrations opposing the Trump administration’s actions nationally, including locally in Salem and Marblehead.
The No More Kings rally for democracy in Marblehead, organized by The League of Women Voters of Marblehead, will involve a peaceful assembly to “stand against the rise of authoritarianism in our country,” while simultaneously celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
The Marblehead assembly will start at the Marblehead Old Town House at 1 p.m., where the Longfellow poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” will be read from the steps. The group will then walk to Abbot Hall at 188 Washington St. and assemble near the flagpole to hear a reading of the Declaration of Independence.
The program is expected to last about one hour. Families are welcome, and attendees are encouraged to bring signs. The event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Marblehead and the Marblehead Alliance for Democracy.

Students and teachers, union leaders and laborers, first-time protesters and veteran marchers. Everyday people from all over Massachusetts came to Boston on a cold, and rainy day to protest the Musk-Trump agenda. They brought their youngsters in backpacks and strollers. Some brought their pets.
All had the same goal: to stop Trump/Musk and MAGA from stealing our democracy, betraying our allies, halting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, erring minority history, crashing our economy for huge tax breaks for the rich, attacking Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, slashing government workers without cause, attacking our colleges, masked ICE agents taking people and sending them to Louisiana or Ecuador without due process …
Between 25,000 and 30,000 people flowed from Boston Common to City Hall Plaza, according to estimates from the Boston Police Department. The sound of drums echoed through the air and people waved American, Ukrainian, and trans pride flags. Despite chilly April temperatures, many came from places outside the city. They flocked from Framingham, Franklin, Gloucester, Danvers, Beverly, Plymouth, and beyond, with homemade signs and umbrellas, prepared for a rainy afternoon.
Estimates are of 100,000 at City Hall Plaza and Boston Common. There were local Hands Off demonstrations in Salem, Ipswich, Wakefield, Gloucester that I am aware of. Julie Curtis was in Salem where she said there were 500+ demonstrators. I went to Ipswich where it appeared to be at least 500 but appeared to be significantly more to me. The response from the streets in Ipswich was overwhelmingly supportive.

Indivisible Tesla Protest – March 29 Read More »
| It’s time to take our nonviolent protest movement to a whole new level. On March 29, we’re coming together around the world to reject fascism, to reject the broligarchy and to defend democracy. We’ve set a huge goal: 500 protests across the world in one day, with one at every single showroom in the United States. Will you step up to host an action in your community on March 29? |
| Most of the people who have hosted a #TeslaTakedown action so far had never organized before. We know hosting your first action can be scary. That’s OK! But if you have the courage to step up, your community will show up. All you need to do is create an event and invite your friends. If there’s not a showroom where you live, you can set up an event at a local Supercharger stop. Or just pick the busiest corner in your town. Sign up to host an action in your community on March 29. We have real momentum. They are terrified because Tesla’s brand and Elon’s wealth are falling apart faster than a Cybertruck. They’re trying to bully and scare us because they know we’re powerful. We won’t be silenced. Let’s make sure they hear us loud and clear on March 29. In solidarity,-The #TeslaTakedown Team P.S. If you missed our mass mobilizing call, you can still watch it on our YouTube channel. There are some incredible speakers—check it out here! |
