Below is a calendar of events and actions hosted by both The Valley Stands Up and our local sister organizations with similar missions.
All events hosted by The Valley Stands Up will have a * next to the event name.
NEXT EVENT
From our sister group:
Together We Rise CT will be organizing a demonstration to call out Malkin and her supporters for their extremist views.
We will meet at 5:00 p.m. at Eagle Landing State Park on Route 82 in Haddam.We will provide signs for demonstrators, who will stand on the street outside The River House At Goodspeed Station, the venue for this GOP fundraiser.
We will be demonstrating for the length of the event, 6-9 p.m. That means we’ll be out after dark. Please bring flashlights, reflective clothing, etc.
We will not try to obstruct people from entering or argue with them. We will simply bear silent witness to the kind of speaker our local RTCs have invited into our community.
