Stay local, get vocal!
Hands Off Amherst! at 10:30on the Amherst Common!
We've filled our bus to join the rally at the Boston Common but there are so many ways to get involved!
We need every voice to say Hands Off!
If the Global Village Festival is on the Common - then the protest will be in front of the Jones Library.
If it is raining and the Global Village Festival has been moved to the Amherst Regional Middle School - then the rally will be on the Town Common. (Be prepared to get wet!)

March 4th call to protest answered by Amherst Community.
We Protest!
Hundreds of protestors came to stand against the recent government cuts and alarming policy changes. Representative Mindy Domb on the bullhorn, and some town council members in attendance. Organized by the Amherst League's Cynthia Brubaker on behalf of LWVA. Amherst came out strong to state loud and clear: We protest. We will not stay silent while democracy is dismantled. And we can organize!
