The call rings out again:

“Friends! Brethren! Countrymen! The hour of opposition to the machinations of tyranny stares you in the face. Every friend to his country, to himself and to posterity, is now called upon to meet at Faneuil Hall, at nine o'clock THIS DAY (at which time the bells will ring), to make united and successful resistance to this last, worst, and most destructive measure of administration.”

This was the call from the Sons of Liberty to Boston in 1773 in the weeks leading up to the Boston Tea Party. On the night of December 16, 1773, Bostonians rallied at the Old South Meeting House before meeting the tea waiting in the harbor, and setting in motion committed resistance to tyranny across the American Colonies.

The call rings out again: every friend to this country, to themself, and to posterity is called to The Common at 11am on April 5th, to make a united and successful resistance to every destructive measure of this administration.

Tyranny once again stares us in the face, and once again we resist. We unite. We boycott. We protest. We do what Boston does for America.
