One-year anniversary for Indivisible Somerville

Today, I attended a one-year anniversary celebration for Indivisible Somerville. But this was no party. It was a great opportunity to meet the growing number of IS activists. And there were four speakers:

  • Charu Verma, Board Member of ACLU Massachusetts and Muslim Justice League
  • Ian Danskin, creator of the “The Alt-Right Playbook,” a YouTube investigative series
  • Ben Echevarria, Executive Director of The Welcome Project
  • Stephanie Hirsch, Somerville alderman-elect

Really interesting lineup and an energizing evening.
