Friends, Given the very short notice, it was great to see about 14 people gathered on the corner of Hollis and Mass Ave., today, including many Cohousers. We are planning to hold another demonstration of our concern and support TOMORROW, Sun. at 10 a.m. This time, with more lead time and preparation, we hope to get a bigger crowd, and will be at Porter Square. Stand Against Racism TOMORROW, Sun. at 10 a.m. Porter Square Bring a sign and bring a friend!

Ave. Cohousers, Our friend and neighbor, Gerry McDonough, has decided he must do *something* to stand against the racism that is destroying our society. The disproportionate toll that the pandemic has taken of minority communities, the vast inequalities it has uncovered, and now the recent police killing *demand at least a public statement of resistance*. He is asking all of us to join him. "I'm so completely outraged by the blatant racism in this country, and feel so impotent in the face of this, but I have to do something. So I'm doing my own stand out for social justice at the intersection of Hollis Street and Mass. Ave. tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. I'm not claiming that I'm rational, and most of you know that for a fact, or that this will be productive, but I have to do something. Join me if you feel the same way, bring some kind of sign, and feel free to invite other people". - Gerry McD I hope you will join me and Eva as we Stand Against Racism with Gerry and other outraged citizens of Cambridge. Stand Against Racism Today at 10 a.m. at Hollis and Mass. Ave. Walter -- Ruth Ryals raryals@gmail.com -- <raryals@gmail.com>
