250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

UMass Amherst faculty have been leading the way on the East Coast, first starting the Stand Together letter campaign and then passing a Faculty Senate resolution calling for mutual defense compacts among 1) MA unis/colleges and 2) public/land-grant universities across the country. Join us!
