On Wednesday, July 2nd, at 7:30 pm at the Newtown Town Hall at 3 Primrose Street, a proposed ordinance that would dramatically curtail our right to assembly in Newtown will be presented to the Newtown Legislative Committee.
JOIN US THERE to show our opposition to the highly onerous restrictions this ordinance would impose. Public comment will be allowed within the official meeting prior to the council voting to reject the proposal or forward it to the Ordinance Committee. We invite you to join us and feel free to bring signs as we respectfully gather both inside (and, if space is too limited) outside 3 Primrose Street to make our position clear. To read text of the proposed ordinance please visit our web site linked in the first comment.

Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, “Good Trouble” is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change. The civil rights leaders of the past have shown us the power of collective action. That’s why on July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.
