1/ Reminder that the Straight Pride Parade is happening in Boston this Saturday, August 31.
@Bos_Solidarity is organizing a mass mobilization to counter the parade.
The more people who turn out, the safer it is for all of us.

7/ In the spring of 2019, the New England Proud Boys planned to do security for a since-cancelled Resist Marxism rally in Providence. Leaked chats show the Proud Boys trading photos of activists they planned to target, and the weapons they planned to use.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-boys-chat-logs-premeditate-rally-violence-in-leaked-chats_n_5ce1e231e4b00e035b928683 …

8/ The Straight Pride Parade isn't just associated with hate groups like the Proud Boys and American Guard. The organizers have also conspired with these groups to stage violent events in the past. So if you can make it, show up to the Straight Pride Parade.

10/ The police have no interest in protecting the people of Boston. They're more than happy to stand with their backs to the out-of-town fascists who roll in to threaten marginalized communities in Boston. That's why we need a mass mobilization to shut down the parade.
