AREAWIDE — The Lyme-Old Lyme (LOL) Partnership for Social Justice and the Old Saybrook March for Justice have moved their weekly events from Wednesday evenings to Sundays at 4 p.m. The next gathering will be Sunday, Nov. 29, and take place in Old Saybrook, in front of the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, ‘the Kate.’
The change is to allow the events to take place when it is light and also reflect a more convenient time for working families, youth and elderly activists.
All are welcome. It is requested that everyone should wear a mask at the event.
Upcoming events sponsored by the LOL Partnership or the Old Saybrook March for Justice will take place as follows:
• Sunday, Nov. 29 – Old Saybrook, in front of the Kate.
• Sunday, Dec. 2 – TBD
The LOL Partnership’s mission is to educate area residents on important topics of social justice and call attention to opportunities where citizens can support local, state and national social-justice efforts.
