MAPA Tabling @ 45th Annual Wake Up the Earth Festival - Noon - 5:00 PM - Location: Near Stony Brook Station, 45 Danforth Street, Boston, MA, 02130

The 2024 Wake Up the Earth (WUTE) Festival offers a wonderful platform for Massachusetts Peace Action (MAPA) to engage the community on crucial issues such as ending the genocide in Gaza, ceasing the war in Ukraine, advocating for racial justice, reallocating federal budget from militarization to peace initiatives, promoting nuclear disarmament, and much more. We aim to inspire action through petitions and postcard signings.

We Need Your Support! Join our mission by volunteering at our table. Assistance is required for setup (9:30 am to noon) and for conducting outreach during shifts (12 to 2 pm & 2 to 4 pm). Your participation is crucial in fostering a more just and peaceful world.
