are We the Powerful
Schedule
12-1 PM | Paths to Power
Proudly display your amazing signs, flags (no poles, please!), and your most creative protest attire as you make your way to Boston Common from 1-2 p.m. Consider getting off the T a few stops early to extend the visibility walk. Popular walking paths are outlined on the map below:
12-1 PM | BVOCAL Sing-a-long
The amazing BVOCAL Protest Chorus will be singing songs of resistance outside the Government Center, Downtown Crossing, and Copley Square T stops. Plan your path to the Common so you can stop by and join the fun!
2-4 PM | Rally on the Common
The line up of speakers and performers at this high-energy rally will be announced soon.
1-5 PM | Action Tables
Dozens of pro-democracy organizations will be on site, offering ways for you to get involved. Explore the options and take the ‘We the Powerful’ Pledge: Commit to at least one action a week to advance freedom, equality, justice, and dignity for all. Find ideas for high-impact actions on our Pledge page.
1-5 PM | Interactive Art
Ink your commitment to building a better future on the ‘We the Powerful’ mural. No Kings organizers provided the outline — now, it’s up to all of you to fill it in, creating an impressive testament to the power of the people. And don’t forget to stop by to watch chainsaw artist Kat Dressler creating an ‘End ICE’ sculpture. Photos welcome!
We Keep Us Safe!
No Kings Community Safety Values and Practices
We the Powerful will:
- Treat others the way we want to be treated - with patience, care, love, and kindness.
- Walk safely to and from Boston Common using sidewalks, crosswalks, and signal lights.
- Be alert to our surroundings, noting exits and not crowding others.
- Offer support to people who may need assistance and ask consent before touching anyone or their belongings.
- Ignore loud or aggressive agitators who may try to upset, provoke, or film us.
- Be self-sufficient and prepared with water, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, a fully charged phone, a meet up spot if we get separated, and anything else our group may need to have a positive experience.
- Alert a safety person if anyone needs urgent assistance.
- Take advantage of the information tables to learn, join, and grow our movement.
- Embrace the joy and solidarity of being together as we build our power to fight authoritarianism and build a democracy that works for everyone.
