“Building Effective Resistance through Citizen Activism”
2026-03-22 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | First Parish in Wayland, 225 Boston Post Road
The abuses that led to the American Revolution–rule by a king, troops seizing people without a warrant, using office for personal gain, arresting people for what they say–are all being repeated in our time. People who have studied authoritarian takeovers all agree that popular resistance can make the difference between a democracy’s survival or death. Come find out how citizen activism can reverse authoritarian trends, what popular resistance has looked like over the past year, and what we have to prepare for in the next three years. Learn about the impact of ICE activity in Massachusetts, how LUCE has evolved to become a potent force for immigrant justice and equity in the state, and effective actions that people can take now to support at-risk populations.
Speakers:
Toby Sackton has been a lifelong movement activist in the Boston area and has lived in Lexington for 40 years. He was one of the founders of Lexington Alarm on Patriots Day 2025.
Stephen Lewin-Berlin is a long-time activist committed to community building and resisting injustice through nonviolent actions. He is a local hub lead for LUCE–a Massachusetts-wide rapid response network that supports immigrants and opposes ICE activity throughout the state.
Parking: Parking is available at First Parish in Wayland, 225 Boston Post Road, Wayland, MA 01778. If overflow parking is needed, we recommend crossing Route 27 at the light and parking in the Town Hall parking lots across the street.

To Parents And Other Neighbors - Benefit Performance
2026-03-24 16:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Wayland HS Auditorium
The Wayland High School Theater Ensemble is proud to present their original play – To Parents and Other Neighbors.
Based on true events, this historical story unfolds in Wayland, Massachusetts during the height of the Red Scare. When an FBI agent delivers a confidential file to the local School Committee, the town is forced to confront a troubling revelation: Anne Hale, a beloved second-grade teacher, was once a member of the Communist Party.
As McCarthyism tightens its grip in the spring of 1954, parents, educators, and neighbors must wrestle with fear, loyalty, and conscience—and answer a question that divides the community: Is Anne Hale fit to teach their children?
This play has earned top honors in the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild 2026 competition, advancing to the state finals at the John F. Kennedy Theatre in Boston on Friday, March 27 at 8 PM. Devised and created by the student cast, the production brings to life a true story from Wayland, grounded in rich historical detail.

NO KINGS III
2026-03-28 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or those who rule through fear. It belongs to us, the people. In large enough numbers, we are capable of restoring democracy and halting the looting and dismantling of our country by incompetent, deeply unpopular would-be autocrats who wish to be kings.

Sound Journey: A Transformational Sonic Experience is an immersive sound healing event blending gentle movement, breathwork, and groundbreaking live music into one deeply restorative evening.
Co hosted by Dave Fiuczynski, Professor at Berklee College of Music, and Nissa Diantina, this unique offering begins with 20 to 25 minutes of guided breathwork and stretching to ground the body. The journey then flows into a 40 to 45 minute meditative soundscape performed live on Fiuczynski’s custom double neck guitar tuned to healing frequencies.
Unlike traditional sound baths, this experience weaves live performance, microtonal textures, and ambient sound design with mindful movement to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and inner transformation. The session concludes with a brief integration circle and Q and A to foster reflection, connection, and community. Designed as both a personal journey and a shared collective experience, this offering brings something truly special to the community.
Join us Sunday, March 29 at 5 PM at the Arts Wayland Gallery, 35 Andrew Ave, Wayland, for this one of a kind sonic immersion.
