[Massachusetts-NFB] IMPROTANT: A protest is scheduled for Central Square tonight at time of NFB Cambridge meeting

[Helen Kobek]

Hi, folis,
Letting you know I got a call from the contact at the Cambridge Police
department. He has let me know there is a planned protest in response to
the shooting death of a young man by police in Cambridgeport last week. The
protest will be in front of City Hall, across from the Senior Center, but
here is the upshot:
The Police Sergeant has cancelled the Cadet accompaniment for tonight for
the safety of the Cadets.
The Police Sergeant has asked NFB to cancel its in person meeting tonight
in order to protect everyone walking through the Square tonight.
I've conveyed this request to both Shara and Justin, and I've told the
police that it's up to the Chapter president.
If you do go through Central Square at the time of the protest, you might
be wish to walk on the Senior Center side of Massachusetts Avenue.
This whole situation is horrendous and has understandably caused a major
response from the public.
Hoping for everyone's safety.
Wishing everyone well, regardless of your or the corporate decision about
the meeting tonight.
WArmest regards,
Helen Kobek
