Join us for a visual demonstration on the historic Newton Green. Our goal is to provide a stark, unmistakable reminder of the warning signs of authoritarianism. By lining the sidewalks with a unified message, we aim to spark reflection and conversation within our community about the values that truly define our nation.

Each participant should bring a sign that completes the sentence: "Fascism Looks Like..." followed by one or two words. We want the visual impact to be cohesive and hauntingly clear.

Suggested completions:

• ...Banned Books

• ...Silencing Press

• ...Mass Deportation

• ...Unchecked Power

• ...Project 2025

• ...Scapegoating Neighbors

• ...Corrupt Courts

• ...Targeting Schools

• ...Erasing History

• ...Armed Intimidation

• ...Resource Imperialism

Guidelines for Participants

• Keep it Clear: Use bold, white letters on a BLACK poster board for maximum readability from the road.

• Respect the Green: We are using the public sidewalks. Please be mindful of the historic nature of the park--leave no trace and ensure pedestrians can pass freely at all times.

• Keep the Peace: We will get drivers that will say upsetting things. We do not engage and we ask that you pay them no mind. They are looking for a fight/reaction. If you absolutely must say something, tell them "We're here for you!" or "Have a good day!" because it's very entertaining to see the looks of confusion (and if anyone were to record our interaction, it'd be very very clear who is in the wrong!).

We look forward to seeing you!
