The League of Women Voters of Marblehead invites the public to a “No More Kings” rally for Democracy Saturday, April 19, 1 p.m.
“Our democracy is under threat and we will peacefully assemble to stand against the rise of authoritarianism in our country, while celebrating the success of the American colonists in pushing back a vengeful tyrant king in 1775,” states a LWV press release.
The program will begin at the Old Town House (Washington Street) where the Longfellow poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” will be read from the steps. The group will then walk to Abbot Hall (188 Washington St.,) and assemble to hear a reading of the Declaration of Independence.
The program should last about one hour. Families are welcome. Attendees are encouraged to bring signs.
The event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Marblehead and the Marblehead Alliance for Democracy. The LWV is nonpartisan with respect to parties and candidates but takes positions and advocates for them. The LWV supports democracy and is advocating for it with this program.
