TUFTS we are shutting down Davis Square THIS FRIDAY at 5pm. Organize // unite // be angry // speak out // die-in // protect


She seems legit and very invested in taking action, primarily in response to the ruling in Missouri. Might end up being nothing, but best to be prepared.

There was a meeting at Tufts last night to discuss mobilization, so these might be related:

This is going to be a serious test of the mayor and Somerville police department. While I'm sure the mayor is sympathetic to the cause, he can't really allow his largest business district to be "shut down" on a Friday evening. But at the same time he has to ensure that the protesters right to lawfully protest is protected. I don't envy him.

Here's to hoping the city has been paying attention to these reports. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a robo-call yet.
