Protests on abortion access, gun reform, teacher wages and climate change all took place during the past year in Boston, making the city a microcosm of larger national movements and a champion for local issues. 

The American people are left at the mercy of an uncaring government that prioritizes National Rifle Association donations over human life. The debate for gun control has little to do with freedom and much to do with morality. Each time we plead, each time we protest, but in truth, there’s only so many times you can ask for help before you realize it’s never coming.
