As Acton DTC members, we are committed to advocate for elected officials who pledge to ensure equal justice for all and will advocate for policies that move our town, our state, and our country forward. We stand in solidarity against racism, hatred, discrimination, and bigotry. We join together to say Black Lives Matter.
