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:

I was invited to this:
#IndictAmerica Davis Square March - a Facebook event
It looks like the same event, and I'm just trying to spread the word beyond the Tufts community.

This post on yesterday's event says that today's event is "a march to SHUT DOWN Davis Square on the Red line in Somerville". I interpreted the confusing wording to mean that they intend to shut down the Red Line station. When I said that I didn't consider this to be a good idea, I got a lot of disagreement from other commenters.

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.

The Somerville Journal just tweeted that trains will bypass the Davis station (https://twitter.com/VilleJournal/status/540986362946916352) during the protest.
