On Tuesday, Jan. 20, Trump’s second term administration turns one year old. And the First Unitarian Universalist will be hosting a bit of a “birthday party,” so to speak.

The church will host a rally, as part of a “nationwide walkout” at 2 p.m. to show disapproval of the administration and many of its policies. The rally will be outside the church at the corner of Washington Street and Highland Avenue in West Newton.

Newton Indivisible, the group that’s been hosting anti-Trump rallies on the Newton Centre Green for the past year, is helping to get the word out.

“One year into Trump’s second regime, we face an escalating authoritarian threat,” an email from Newton Indivisible to its supporters reads. “ICE raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, families torn apart, attacks on our trans siblings, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent. It is time for our communities to escalate as well. On January 20 at 2 p.m., we will walk out of work, school, and commerce. We will withhold our labor, our participation, and our consent.”

The thermostat has been rising in our national politics for a while, as clashes with immigration enforcement agents have led to deaths in Minnesota and violent incidents elsewhere throughout the country since the Trump administration has ramped up apprehension and deportation efforts. The administration also fueled outrage when it sent detainees to El Salvador, announced it was taking over Venezuela’s oil industry and insisted it’s going to take Greenland by whatever means necessary.

That’s a lot to process in an already busy world.

“A free America begins the moment we refuse to cooperate,” the email continues. “This is not a request. This is a rupture. This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable.”
