Uniting Voices for Change: GBPSR Stands with Poor People’s Campaign
We love seeing intersectional action! Our Boston Hub, Greater Boston PSR (GBPSR), rallied in solidarity with the Poor People’s Campaign at Boston Common on March 2nd.
Dr. Joe Hodgkin, GBPSR’s co-chair for nuclear disarmament, addressed the crowd, emphasizing the urgent threat of nuclear weapons and their disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. However, he also shared a message of hope by highlighting past successes in the field and advocating for the Back from the Brink (BftB) platform, urging collective action towards nuclear disarmament.
