No Kings 3

 

No Kings Holliston: A Joyful, Peaceful Demonstration

Join neighbors and community members as part of the nationwide No Kings Day of Action. We will gather in Holliston on March 28 at 1:30 PM. Together, we will lift up our voices to affirm a simple democratic principle: in this country, power belongs to the people — not to any one leader. This gathering centers on community, mutual support, and shared civic responsibility. We invite people of many backgrounds to stand side by side in a visible, positive expression of our values.

We come together to reject politics rooted in fear, division, disregard for the rule of law, and economic policies that place growing strain on everyday people. Instead, we stand for cooperation, accountability, stability, and care for one another. Our goal is to show peacefully and publicly that communities are strongest when people show up for each other and participate actively in civic life.

All are welcome. Peaceful signs, community spirit, and respectful participation are encouraged. Learn more and RSVP here.

2026 Town Caucus

 2026 Holliston Democratic Town Caucus

Holliston Democratic Town Committee (HDTC) members will host the 2026 Democratic Town Caucus to select delegates to attend the Massachusetts Democratic State Convention. The caucus will convene at 10:30 AM, Saturday, March 14, at Holliston Town Hall. All Democrats registered to vote in Holliston are invited to participate and are encouraged to run for convention delegate. The convention will take place May 29-30 at the DCU Center in Worcester.

The caucus is open to the public and press, but only Holliston's registered and pre-registered Democrats are eligible to run and vote. Pre-registered Democrats must be at least 16 years old on the caucus date. Same-day registration is allowed. Those running as a delegate or alternate should be present at the caucus to be elected. However, if there are not enough candidates present to fill all delegate and alternate positions, two-thirds of those present and voting may move to have a candidate's name placed in nomination despite the candidate's absence, provided that the candidate has notified the Chair of their interest in running. 

Holliston Democrats will vote to elect 10 delegates and 4 alternates to represent Holliston at the convention. Those not selected as a delegate or an alternate, and who meet the qualifications, can apply separately to be an add-on delegate in the following categories: youth, minority, disabled, LGBTQ+, or ask about being a convention volunteer. Learn more about caucus procedures and convention rules on the MassDems website.

Registration will open at 10:00 AM. The caucus will begin at 10:30 AM. The caucus doors will close at 10:45 AM. Everyone waiting in line to register at 10:45 AM will be admitted to the caucus. Anyone arriving at registration after 10:45 AM will be designated as a guest and will not be able to run for delegate or to vote.

While not required, if you plan to run for a delegate or alternate seat, please fill out this preregistration form. This will help volunteers plan ahead for an efficient caucus.

For more information, email HDTC Chair Cynthia Burrow.

ICE Out For Good!

Holliston will host a peaceful, respectful standout on Saturday, 1/10, at 1:30 PM to honor Renee Good, the US citizen, poet, and mother who was shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The event will take place on the public sidewalk between Town Hall and the Congregational Church. Learn more and sign up here.

Renee's wife shared a statement today, and this section summarizes what is so horrific about this crime, its subsequent cover-up, and the maligning of Renee's character.

"Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole."

Please join us with the commitment to unite as she lived: in peace, love, and hope for a better future.
