Ipswich Free America Walkout

The accumulation of outrages has been mounting daily since this administration took power. On Tuesday, January 20th, the first anniversary of Trump's return to power, from 5 to 6 PM along Middle Green in Ipswich, we will hold a candlelight vigil. Join us with your candles (real, electronic, or cell phone) as we bear witness to all the unnecessary suffering that has been wrought over the last year and deepen our resolve to change the course of our country.

Here is the national call:

One year into Trump’s second regime, we face an escalating fascist threat: raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, attacks on immigrants, families torn apart, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent.  It is time for our communities to escalate as well. 

2025 was a year of marches that showed our collective strength. And as the threats grow, our movement must evolve and escalate. Trump and his allies have already made clear that a second term would bring a deeper wave of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and violence than the first.

On January 20, we call on our communities to organize teams, call your neighbors and classmates, and turn your back and walk out on fascism. Host mutual aid planning meetings, organize public service, but walk out to block the normal routines of power, and make the stakes real. This is a protest and a promise.  In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable. 

★ We walk away from fascism. ★  

★ We walk towards a Free America. ★ 

★ We fight for a future that belongs to us all. ★
