Can We Talk?

We believe that to end the divisiveness in our country, we need to understand and respect each other. Listening to what we have to say about important issues facing us in our capital and in every community, is the first step. Please join in a town-wide Zoom meeting to discuss the events in Washington last week, and the future of our country and community. Hosted by Prejudice Free Duxbury, this Wednesday, January 13th @ 7PM. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81635145479 Meeting ID: 816 3514 5479

Peace on Earth

12/6/2020

While people of goodwill are wishing each other well at this time of year, there are others who don’t share that view. This week, a Duxbury resident received anonymous hate mail about a sign on their property. Prejudice Free Duxbury joins all people of goodwill in condemning that action. We hope that you will all join us in solidarity. If you have had any experience in Duxbury of similar occurrences, we would like to know of it. Please use the "Read More" button to tell us about your experience or just use the "Contact Us" tab. In the meantime, let’s be kind to one another and support one another against all forms of discrimination. Join us at Prejudice Free Duxbury, a collaboration of the Duxbury Rotary Club and the Interfaith Council’s No Place for Hate campaign.
