Lancaster Stands Up

After the November 8th election, 300 Lancaster residents came together in an emergency community meeting to affirm values of tolerance and love for each other. #LancasterStandsUp now holds monthly mass meetings and periodic mass actions and demonstrations. We stand together against racism, misogyny, and xenophobia, and for social and economic justice. We are committed to taking action to protect the most vulnerable, to defend our democracy, and to do our part to build an America that works for all of us.
