Indivisible Waltham, a social justice group designed to uphold democracy, is dedicated to holding protests against the Trump Administration throughout the Waltham area. The community was formed as a part of the Indivisible movement, which is a network of thousands of local groups across all 50 states. The Indivisible movement sprouted a few months ago as a means to push back against perceived infringes on democracy by “big money in our government,” as stated on their website. The Waltham group coordinates its protests with 50510 gatherings. The 50510 movement was also formed to uphold a democratic society after Trump took office. Indivisible Waltham’s specific mission is “to fight in defense of American democracy, currently under attack by the executive branch of government."

Indivisible Waltham has historically held its protests on the Waltham Common. 50 to 60 community members, mostly Waltham residents, gather on the sidewalk beside the intersection of Moody Street and Main Street. Their previous protests were titled Stand Up for Free Speech, Stand Out For Democracy, Hands Off! and Patriot's Day. The first protest was on March 14 and they have since held a gathering at least every other week. Supporters of previous protests have held hand-painted or printed signs. They read things like “RESIST,” “Abolish [Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” “Women’s Rights = Human Rights,” “My Body My Choice,” “Science is Real,” “When one voice speaks for all, no one is heard,” “Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere,” “Diversity Makes Us Stronger” and various other phrases that captured similar sentiments. 

Indivisible Waltham will be holding two events in their upcoming May Day Rally. The protests will take place on May 1 at 5:30 p.m. and May 3 at 11 a.m. They will also be held on the Waltham Common.
