🏘️ Hingham Square Standout — Wednesdays
🗓 Every Wednesday
⏰ 10:30–11:30 AM

Please park in a public lot rather than directly in front of a local business.

⚓ Hingham Harbor Standout
🗓 Saturday, June 6
⏰ 10:30–11:30 AM
📍 Route 3A at Hingham Harbor

Bring a sign, wave to passing drivers, and enjoy a day near the water afterward.

As one participant put it:

“Even on a depressing news day, I get a great feeling of joy being with other people at a standout.”

🗳️ FOCUS ON THE MIDTERMS: MONTHLY MEETING
🗓 Wednesday, June 3
⏰ 7:00–8:30 PM
📍 Hingham Community Center, 70 South Street

How can local residents help reshape Congress through the midterm elections?

The meeting will explore practical ways to get involved, including:

✅ Postcards

✅ Fundraising
✅ Advocacy
✅ Voter registration
✅ Getting out the vote

Bring your ideas, your calendar, and the names of organizations doing work you admire.

🎶 RISE UP, SING OUT: CONCERT WATCH PARTY
🗓 Sunday, June 14
🚪 Doors open after 6:30 PM
🎥 Livestream begins at 7:30 PM
📍 The Parrot, Hull

Join neighbors for a livestream of “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment.”

The event will feature an all-star lineup including Jane Fonda, Patti Smith, Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright, Joy Reid, Wilson Cruz, Broadway Inspirational Voices, and more.

The 90-minute concert will celebrate the freedoms protected by the First Amendment: speech, religion, press, assembly, and peaceful protest.

There will be light appetizers, a cash bar, music, conversation, and an opportunity to connect with neighbors.

🎟️ The event is free, but registration will be required because attendance is limited to 50 guests. Registration information will be shared soon.

Indivisible Hingham Hull emphasizes that its events are committed to peaceful, lawful, and nonviolent action. Participants are expected to de-escalate potential confrontations, and weapons of any kind should not be brought to events.

Whether you have been involved for years or are simply interested in learning more, everyone is welcome.

🇺🇸 **Together, we can strengthen democracy, protect fundamental freedoms, and build a more engaged South Shore community.

Local Democracy Actions This Week: Hingham, Hull — and now Cohasset

Indivisible Hingham Hull has announced several upcoming local opportunities for people who want to stay informed, gather with neighbors, and take part in visible community action.

New Cohasset Rally Begins This Saturday

A new regular monthly rally is starting in Cohasset:

Saturday, May 23
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Route 3A, in front of Stop & Shop
To be held on the 4th Saturday of every month

Organizers describe the purpose as building visible community resistance, meeting neighbors, and exercising First Amendment rights of assembly, speech, and petition.

Hull Standout

There is also a regular Hull standout:

Thursday evenings
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Nantasket Avenue, across from The Parrot
Held weekly while the weather allows.

Participants are encouraged to bring a flag, sign, friend, or simply come stand with neighbors.

Hingham Stand Up Speak Out Rally

The weekly Hingham rally continues:

Wednesdays
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Hingham Square, near the Post Office

The email notes that the Hingham event includes singing and community gathering.

Other Action Items Mentioned

The email also encourages people to contact their Massachusetts representatives in support of the PROTECT Act and to stay engaged as the 2026 midterm elections approach.

For those interested in local civic action on the South Shore, Indivisible Hingham Hull is encouraging people to show up in whatever way works best — rallying, calling representatives, asking questions, or simply connecting with neighbors.

05/11/2026

Remember that movements are not built in one moment. They are built by people who keep showing up — even when the work feels heavy.

This Mother’s Day, the message honors the spirit of Julia Ward Howe, the abolitionist, women’s rights advocate, and peace activist who called on women to organize for peace, justice, and the “amicable settlement” of international conflict. That same spirit of civic courage is needed today as we continue working for democracy, social justice, voting rights, public education, immigrant rights, and accountable government.

There are many ways to get involved right now. Volunteers can support student organizing efforts for the 2026 elections, sign up to write Get Out the Vote postcards for key races, join trainings on protecting democracy, attend organizing meetings to defend public schools, and learn more about fair and humane immigration enforcement.

Locally, there are also important opportunities to connect and act. Indivisible Hingham Hull will host a May 13 discussion at the Hingham Community Center on journalism, legacy media, local news, and how citizens can stay informed in an age of misinformation. South Shore organizers are also preparing for campaign work this summer through a Pembroke/Marshfield office where volunteers can help with postcards, phone banks, canvassing, and local campaign events.

There are continuing standouts and actions across the South Shore, including Scituate, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Burlington, and other communities. These gatherings are a simple but powerful way to stand up, speak out, and remind one another that we are not alone.

Stay strong, stay determined, and stay involved. Democracy depends on ordinary people continuing to act together — locally, peacefully, and persistently.
