Excerpt from Brookline demonstrators fill Coolidge Corner to mark American Revolution anniversary, protest Trump

Brookline residents waved American flags and held signs condemning President Trump’s administration at Coolidge Corner Saturday on the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolution. [...]

Cindy Rowe, president of the Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action and a Brookline resident, participated in the demonstration.

“A weekend like this makes people reflect on democracy…to see it torn to shreds is very painful,” Rowe said.

Rowe said more Americans should come together to protest the Trump administration.

“We have to take our responsibilities seriously and reflect upon the government that we want for our modern times,” she said. “We can’t just let an irresponsible administration run amok and ruin all the systems that have been created.”

If political change requires waving signs and standing on street corners, she said, then so be it.

“We have to stand up in every way we can possibly think of to protect our democracy,” she said.
