Join the Massachusetts Bar Association and other members of the legal
community on Boston Common on May 1, Law Day, for a rally in support of the
national Law Day of Action. The rally will take place from Noon – 1 p.m. at the
Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common.
When court rulings are defied and judges are threatened for following the
law, the legal profession has a duty to act. On May 1, 2026, legal professionals
and citizens across the United States will gather at courthouses and in public
spaces – retaking their oaths to uphold the Constitution and standing together
to make clear that the rule of law is non-negotiable. As the United States
approaches its 250th year, we cannot be silent.
Our constitutional system depends on court orders being respected and
enforced. Judges face threats of violence and impeachment for issuing rulings
and protecting constitutional rights. Court orders are being defied. Legal
professionals who defend constitutional principles face professional retaliation
and public intimidation. This violates the rule of law that the legal system was
created to protect. We will not be silent.
Thank you to our co-sponsors:
