Dedham Democratic Town Committee

03/29/2026

Dedham showed up for No Kings today - 500 strong! Thank you to everyone who came out for a fun and peaceful demonstration against tyranny. Special thanks to Neponset Valley Progressives, Indivisible, and all of the volunteers today!

This Saturday, March 28, Dedham will join communities across the country for a “No Kings” demonstration. The local gathering will take place from 2:00–3:00 PM at High and Washington Streets in Dedham Square. If you can't make it at 2, you have many nearby options to choose from!

Nationwide, there are now hundreds of lawsuits challenging Trump’s unconstitutional power grabs, attacks on voting rights, and reckless escalation in Iran, underscoring how serious this moment is for our democracy.

Over seven million people joined NO KINGS last October, and with more than 3,200 events planned this Saturday, this peaceful protest is a key way to channel that energy into flipping the House and Senate in November!

Feel free to share sign ideas in the comments!

On March 5, 1770, the message of the Boston Massacre was simple and brutal: power in the wrong hands will always find a way to excuse violence.

On Thursday, March 5th, 2026 we will gather to remember that history in light of our own government running vast detention centers, challenging the bill of rights and ignoring due process.

Please join from 5-6 pm at the corner of High and Court Streets for a candlelight vigil. Extra credit for those who patronize Dedham businesses before or after the vigil!

Thanks to everyone who joined us at our caucus last night, including State Treasurer Deb Goldberg who was kind enough to kick us off. It was great to hear from so many candidates for our state, federal, county and local races!

Our Caucus is just a few days away! Join us Monday, March 2nd to elect delegates and alternates to represent Dedham at the 2026 Massachusetts Democratic State Convention. The Caucus will be held in person at 6:15 pm at the Endicott Estate, 565 East Street in Dedham. Doors will open at 5:45pm and registration for those interested in participating in the caucus will close at 6:30pm.

A few things to note:

*The DDTC will be collecting donations for the Dedham Food Pantry at the Caucus. Please consider bringing items for donation, whether toiletries, diapers (especially size 3 and larger) or non-perishable food items.

*The Caucus will begin with time to hear from Democratic candidates and elected officials. It's a great chance to meet people in office and learn more about your choices in the primary election on September 1.

*In order to help streamline the nominating process for convention delegates, we are trying something new this year. If you'd like to attend the convention, feel free to comment below or DM us to let us know. You won't be guaranteed to get a spot (and you can change your mind), but it should save some time when the nominations process begins. This is just a timesaver. Indicating interest in advance is not necessary for being nominated - there will be nominations and self nominations from the floor as well.

Please don't hesitate to comment or DM with any questions about the caucus!

We hope you can join us for our upcoming Caucus on Monday, March 2nd to elect delegates and alternates to represent Dedham at the 2026 Massachusetts Democratic State Convention! The caucus will be held in person at 6:15 pm at the Endicott Estate, 565 East Street. Doors will open at 5:45pm and registration for those interested in participating in the caucus will close at 6:30pm.

The Dedham caucus offers local Democrats a chance to stand with like-minded neighbors, lift up shared values of equality, justice, and opportunity, and connect their voices directly to decisions made on the convention floor. Serving as a delegate is a concrete way for citizens to help shape the party’s priorities and hold Democratic leaders accountable.

The caucus is open to all registered and pre-registered (under 18 years old) Democrats in Dedham, and residents may enroll as Democrats on-site at the caucus. Dedham can elect 17 delegates and 4 alternates to attend the Convention, and the only requirements for serving as a delegate are being a registered Democrat living in Dedham and being available to attend the Convention in May.

The elected delegation will have balanced gender representation. The state party also offers add-on delegate seats to help ensure the convention delegation reflects the diversity of the Commonwealth, including delegates from disability communities, underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, veterans, youth, and LGBTQ+ Democrats. Details about applying as an “add-on” delegate will be provided at the caucus.

This year’s Massachusetts Democratic State Convention will be held Friday and Saturday, May 29 and 30, at the DCU Center in Worcester. At the convention, thousands of delegates from across the Commonwealth will cast votes that determine which candidates receive the party’s endorsement for the primary ballot.

The convention will also be a statewide organizing hub, bringing Democrats together to focus on issues like affordable housing, education, health care, workers’ rights, and protecting democracy, and to build momentum heading into the 2026 election cycle. Anticipated speeches from top Democratic leaders include Senator Warren, as well as Governor Healey and Lieutenant Governor Driscoll.

Great reminders for No Kings Day rallies, and frankly every day

Good reminders as we meet together this weekend all over the country.

Tomorrow, Saturday October 18, we have an opportunity to stand together for the core values that define America. “No Kings” protests will take place across the country including in Boston and surrounding towns. Your presence is vital.

People across the country are gathering peacefully to defend free speech, checks and balances, the rule of law, and the promise of a country that works for everyone—not just billionaires. These demonstrations affirm that the United States belongs to its people, not to those who would rule it like a monarchy.

Research shows that when about 3.5% of people take part in sustained, nonviolent protest, even entrenched regimes must listen and change course. That’s the proven power of a committed movement of highly engaged protectors of democracy—neighbors, families, and communities who stand up when it matters most.

The Boston demonstration will begin at noon on the Boston Commons. If you’d like to meet up with other Dedham folks, a contingent will meet at the tennis courts in the Common on the fence side that faces Parkman Bandstand at 11:30 am. If you want to caravan, there will be a group meeting up at Big Bear between 10 and 10:30 before driving over.

Another contingent of Dedham folks will be going to the Needham rally at 2pm, and others to West Roxbury at 9am, at the rotary of Center St and West Roxbury Parkway. For information on additional gatherings, this is a useful list: https://www.boston.com/community/local-news/2025/10/16/no-kings-protest-locations-oct-18/

Feel free to drop comments to help plan meetups and share sign ideas!

Every person who shows up helps build momentum. Bring a friend, a neighbor, or a family member. Let’s stand together for justice, fairness, and the democracy our country was built on.
Let’s raise our voices together this Saturday!

“No Kings” protests are happening across Greater Boston this Saturday, Oct. 18. See where local marches are planned and how to RSVP for event details.
