Gathering on an ice-covered Boston Common, protesters representing over 100 local and national organizations cheered immigrant workers, trans activists, disability rights warriors, the Boston Area Brigade of Activist Musicians (BABAM) marching band and speakers whose V-Day message was “Love is Resistance.”
After vowing — singing along with the Resistance Revival Chorus — that “All you fascists bound to lose!” the demonstration spilled into the Downtown Crossing shopping district.
