Another beautiful day; you would never believe it was October already. 15 peaceful protesters: some new faces, many regulars and a few we had not seen in awhile, which is just the mix we like! Diversity keeps the world healthy in so many ways. The honks and beeps seemed especially enthusiastic!

Hamilton was hopping on September 27th, with the Children’s Business Fair happening at Winthrop spilling out on to the front lawn! To accommodate this wonderful event our peaceful protesters moved across Bay Road and stood out in support of democracy, free speech, and the rule of law!

September 22, 2025 Our Fall Kick-Off Social was a lot of fun and filled with great information and conversation with League members, our three MA state reps, and Jennifer Muroff from LWVMA who gave us great information on three due process bills working their way through the state legislature.

Another beautiful day, another Stand Out. Two days until the beginning of Fall, but there will be no falls for our peaceful protesters, just Outstanding folks! Very busy with a Volleyball car wash (our car is squeaky clean) and the annual Hamilton Public Safety Day!

Another beautiful Saturday! Our Stand Out started with just 3 LWVHW Steering Committee Members, but we decided three is a crowd! But slowly and surely our fellow peaceful protesters arrived, most were old faithfuls, but we had one new face, which is wonderful. The final count was lucky 13!

17 of us labored for Democracy on Labor Day Weekend. More beautiful weather. One of our peaceful protesters counted 253 honks and beeps. Some just quick toots, others were long and loud. Like our Stand Outs all are welcome. See you in September!

August 16th 2025. Only an hour of our time, and so much support from passers by. We must tell ourselves this too shall pass, and those who love our country and what it stands for need to have hope, and hope lies with us rising up together, even if it is in a small way on a lovely morning in August.

August 9. 2025 Another gorgeous day! We were 16 strong! l love the smiles when I take the photos, because although it is serious business, it is also the time to bond and communicate which always makes us stronger. Lots of positives, love it when the little ones wave at us. They are the future.πŸ₯°

August 2, 2025 What a gorgeous day! So grateful that folks prioritize this as one of their import "to dos" even on a beautiful summer day. 18 Peaceful Protesters joined together in solidarity. It takes a village.

July 19. 2025 It was a beautiful day, nary a cloud in sight. The "Stand Out Folks" trickled in, just a few at first. But we ended up with a great turnout: 25 peaceful protesters. Lots of positives, very few negatives and we just smile and wave at everyone. We are all in this together!
