Keep Space for Peace vigil at Raytheon, Oct. 6




We learned the state had placed refugees in Methuen, without warning the town. We looked into helping and donated some toys for the kids. We later decided to donate to the International Institute to help the refugees settle in.

  Members attended MAPA demonstrations before and after the invasion of Ukraine, urging diplomacy, not military escalation.
February 2022
  Several MAPA members joined us for two of the Raytheon vigils, so both times there were 14 participants holding signs and giving out leaflets to Raytheon employees, encouraging them to become 'whistleblowers.' many actually took the leaflets. An Andover Patch article included a photo of the sign, "Raytheon - good people, bad products" which replicates one of Arthur Brien's original signs
