Congressman Stephen F. Lynch will lead an outdoor rally in Quincy Center on Saturday (May 3) that his office says will focus on “our shared support for our veterans, federal workers, seniors, hospitals and community health centers, Social Security, the Postal Service, labor rights, pensions, due process and other legal protections, and privacy rights.”
The event was originally set for April 26, but was postponed until Saturday due to inclement weather. It will be staged at 10 a.m. at the Hancock Adams Common, 1305 Adams St., Quincy.
A flyer circulated by Lynch’s office encourages attendees to “bring their own signs.” It also includes a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “We must all hang together, or most assuredly, we will all hang separately.”
Lynch has been increasingly vocal in his critique of the Trump administration. In a virtual town hall meeting he convened in March, he called the president and his actions to date “a clear and present danger to our democracy. I honestly feel that way,” he said, “ a danger to our basic rights, our basic freedoms.”
