Many new residents and other PT newcomers were at our meeting last week. More about that meeting in a later email. In spite of the current political challenges, it was good to be together. If you have any thoughts about that meeting or any future meeting, just reply and let me know. It was good to be with you.
Here’s information about Saturday the 18th. If attending protests is not your choice of political resistance, you might think about what you could do instead. We’ll possibly talk about that at our next meeting.
https://www.mobilize.us/ This link will give you information about a variety of protest sites for Saturday’s major national No Kings event. It includes the event at Giant on 40, 10-12 am and the group from Charlestown, 12-1. Scroll down a bit more and you’ll find details about the Charlestown event and a sign making party.
I suggest you call one of the contacts below this message to get on the Charlestown email list for future information.
“NO KINGS” PROTEST 2.0
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2025
NOON TIL 1
BELTWAY OVERPASS AT FREDERICK ROAD
Bus Transportation: Call 410 737 8838, ext. 601 8448 to reserve a seat. Your account will be charged.
Roundtrip Bus Fare = $10/person (Previous Fare of $5 was a generous discounted rate!)
Board bus at Charlestown Square at 11:15. Bus will leave Overpass at 1:00.
Taking the bus leaves more parking space at the Protest site…and a little less pollution.
PLEASE register with Mobilize to help them attain an accurate number of participants.

This will be a huge, nationwide protest organized by Indivisibles with 100’s of coalition partners and their members. Given Trump’s recent outrageous attempt at censorship (the Kimmel debacle) AND the ensuing success of resistance that thwarted the attempt, we urge you to attend this Protest because you are “never too old to speak out!”
SIGN-MAKING PARTY!
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2025
7 PM
TERRACE LOUNGE
Be thinking of a good message for your sign. Bring supplies if you have them; some will be on hand for you to use.
As ever, your Never Too Old To Speak Out Team: Julie Helms, Donna Martin, Audrey Trapp
