By Arnie Alpert, Active with the Activists

Arnie Alpert spent decades as a community organizer/educator in NH movements for social justice and peace.  Officially retired since 2020, he keeps his hands (and feet) in the activist world while writing about past and present social movements.

Hundreds of people from all over southwest New Hampshire thronged Keene’s Central Square, most carrying signs denouncing Trump administration actions they see as contrary to democratic principles.  On the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington, a new uprising against authoritarian rule is well underway.
