Check back regularly for updates to our calendar of action events locally (in the Western Mass region), regionally (in New England), and nationally.
First, a note on taking action. We cannot stress enough that YOU HAVE POWER! It’s easy to think we’re powerless in the face of a billionaire, authoritarian takeover of the government, but agitation works. Resistance works. You alone can make a difference. Together we can bring about real change.
Calendar of Action Events
Upcoming Actions
Look at the calendar above for specific upcoming actions. Below is a list of actions we are working on putting together. Once dates are confirmed, they will appear on the calendar.

If you are interested in hosting an action, please visit the Stay Connected page or email us directly at boldactionma@gmail.com
Everyday Actions
- Contact your senators and representatives at the state and federal levels
- Use the 5Calls app to make it easy; they find your congress people and provide scripts
- Emails work but are easier to ignore than phone calls. Snail mail works better than email, especially if a large group of people write. Postcards are best since sealed envelopes make some nervous to open
- If you’ve never called before, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The good news is, after the first couple of calls it feels way less awkward
- Prepare ahead of time what your talking point is. One issue at a time, and make it about a tangible thing–a bill or executive order–that you think should or shouldn’t pass
- Combat misinformation
- It’s everywhere. On social media posts, comments on articles, around the kitchen table. Get and stay informed and then set the record straight when you hear misinterpretations or flat out lies
- Use your wallet
- Visit goodsuniteus to find a comprehensive list of merchants to support and avoid
- Make resistance art
- Stay tuned for art-making opportunities!
