As Ursula Wolfe-Rocca said “It can be overwhelming to witness/experience/take in all the injustices of the moment; the good news is that they’re all connected. So if your little corner of work involves pulling at one of the threads, you’re helping to unravel the whole damn cloth.”

Even though the day started out with a good downpour, the skies cleared up and we had more than 50 folks turnout for our 39th Annual Picnic with the Boxborough Democratic Committee! The food pantry donation table was full, the candidates were interesting, the food was great, and the sun shone upon the Acton and Boxborough Democrats and their friends.
Thanks to our fabulous interns (and intern coordinator Keely Fox!). What a great program!
We are so happy to welcome Pam Nourse as a full member and proud to pass a resolution to endorse Ballot Question 9 to preserve MA gun laws! Learn more about this ballot question HERE.
Early in-person voting for the MA State Primary has begun and goes through Aug 28, For more information about times and sample ballots, visit the town website HERE.
Remember : Voting is NOT enough.
Here are three actions you can take EVERY week:
Donate — Skip one weekly coffee, redirect to mutual aid; volunteer in your community.
Speak Up — Call one elected official about a priority issue; our elected officials work for the people and should hear from us - the good, the bad and the ugly.
Organize — Join a canvass or phone bank supporting value-aligned candidates. If canvassing isn’t your thing - call three friends. Show up at a protest. Write postcards. DO SOMETHING.
We have to lean into this work NOW. Our children, our grandchildren and young people deserve an America worth inheriting.
Let's get a move on.
Please visit turnpurple2blue.org for ways to donate, speak up, and organize.
