Hands Off Our Mother
Saturday, 5/10/2025, at 11am
Organizer: Indivisible Brattleboro and Brattleboro Area Action
Location: The Common in Brattleboro
Hands Off Our Mother: Community-building organizations to bring together neighbors in honor of Mother Earth.
Residents to gather again, with BYO picnic and food trucks.
As area engagement grows around the devastation imposed on Americans and the environment by the current administration, Brattleboro area locals will picnic together on May 10, the day before
Mothers Day, with time to compare notes and enjoy live music.
The most recent rallies, which attracted from 500 to 1500, demonstrated the continuing need for people to connect and talk about steps forward. Indivisible Brattleboro and Brattleboro Area Action are co-hosting this event. Though the current administration may seem to ignore it, the fact that we have such numbers standing up here in Brattleboro, across the state, and the growing millions across the country, has an effect. Everyone across the political spectrum in the U.S. is now affected in at least one way by unconstitutional budget cuts, policies and destruction of federal agencies. Basic needs such as medical care and access to healthy food for all are seriously reduced; the rights of immigrants, asylum seekers, and the care of the environment are negatively impacted. Racial justice, reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights are under attack.
We invite everyone to come engage with our larger community; bring your ideas, lunch, and lawn chairs. Live music by local artists and food trucks!
Co-hosted by Indivisible Brattleboro and Brattleboro Area Action, this partnership is bound by a shared commitment to nonviolence, inclusion, and democratic participation.
