2026 Highlights (see newsletters too)

We planned for summer events. Brian attended the Veterans for Peace event on Boston Common.

April 2026

National/local protests were planned for May 1 and June 14.

Big No Kings protests were held on Saturday March 28, in Andover, Boston, and many nearby towns.

We did not meet in February,

but the US and Israel bombed Iran, starting another war.

The attendees expressed their rage and sorrow at the cruel murder of at least two peaceful protesters by ICE, and requested all to contact their Representative and Senators to urge them to stop funding for ICE.
The attendees appreciated the courage and perseverance of the protesters in Minneapolis -a font of inspiration and hope for all.

Barbara Haack reported an on-going weekly peace vigil in Newburyport, and Carolyn Whiting described protests against ICE in Burlington. Many of us signed individually, a petition to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the people of Minneapolis for their peaceful resistance to ICE. Boryana and Brian joined No ICE standouts in Lawrence, at the Duck Bridge, New Balance outlet in Lawrence, Thursdays at 4.

The attendees expressed sorrow for recent passing away of Michael Bleiweiss, a long-time member of MVPP. All remembered him as a kind person.

Bobbie Goldman had a major surgery recently. Carolyn Whiting would send her a get-well card on behalf of MVPP.

Early and productive member, Jane Cadarette died Jan. 27. We miss her.
