Hi there, I would add Jeremiah’s Inn to this list. Great local food pantry and recovery program that also works with students experiencing food insecurity at Clark through the Food Insecurity Resistance Movement (FIRM) student group.

Great work Bill.

I just wanted to note your use of the past tense in the Democratic Party’s current genocide. The genocide in Palestine is not only still ongoing but ramping up.

“The only encouraging aspect of the last few days (besides the party that enabled and funded a genocide eating shit for it)“

Worcester's chapter of the Independent Socialist Group? When I was a member they were by fat the largest socialist organization in Worcester. Despite showing up to a lot of events I see reported here, they never seem to get a mention...

I picture the ShotSpotter sales rep booking it out of town with a suitcase full of cash, Lyle Lanley style.

Nah, I’m sure they even rooked him, which makes his continued caping for them even sadder.

I have to add Center for Living and Working an nonprofit organization that provided services to the disabled in Central Mass. I disagree about JD Vance. I doubt he'll bully other Republicans like Donald Trump did.

I think I was more saying he’s the obvious nominee for 2028 - I agree though he’s a lot less ham fisted. Which is even scarier! Will add that to the list! I have a few other suggestions I need to gather from various places. Will update soon

I would also suggest our local Catholic Worker house, the Saints Francis and Therese Catholic Worker House, and of course the Mustard Seed.
