You worked hard, wrote until your hand cramped, made calls, donated money; take an evening to celebrate and make new friends. Regardless of what happens between Election Day and November 17 (and much will), we still can and must savor our triumphs. Join us as we raise a toast (with sparkling cider) to each other for what we collectively achieved on November 4.

Boycott Central—We Ain't Buying It'!
- The holidays are supposed to be about family, gratitude and community… not about funding companies that harm ours. From Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, We’re saying no to Target, Home Depot and Amazon for funding or caving to the admins hateful policies. #WeAintBuyingIt
Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify
- Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE. These ads target vulnerable populations, promise signing bonuses, and normalize fear and intimidation in our neighborhoods. Spotify claims these ads comply with their policy, but the truth is streaming hate is not neutral. It’s a choice! We refuse to fund it. We refuse to ignore it.
- A HISTORY OF COMPLICITY: Through subsidiaries including Citizens Bank, Citizens Financial Group (CFG) has been a major lender to private prison and detention operators for years despite a mountain of allegations against them including abuse, fraud, hazardous working conditions, sexual harassment, medical neglect, and forced labor.
Boycott Hyatt
- Hyatt, specifically Hyatt Place Boston/Medford, have been reported to be housing ICE agents, leading to protests. While the corporation has pledged not to be used as a jail, franchises are helping ICE > let’s not help them by staying elsewhere!
