Bus Organized to People's March
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — State Reps. Tricia Farley-Bouvier and Leigh Davis, state Sen. Paul Mark, and the Rural Freedom Network are organizing a motorcoach bus from the Berkshires to Washington, D.C., for the 2025 People's March.
Rural Freedom Network is a federally registered political action committee and as a grassroots media organization it supports Democratic candidates and issues such as civil rights.
The People's March is a rebranding of the Women's March that first occurred in 2017 and broadened to include such rights to free speech, health care and economics.
The bus departs on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 2 a.m. from the parking lot of The Center at Lenox (Price Chopper) on Route
7/20 and returns around 1 a.m. on Sunday, Jan.19.
Bus tickets are purchased through a $75 per ticket donation to the Rural Freedom Network. Reserve a seat and purchase a ticket here. For more information, contact Mirabai Dyson at mirabai.dyson@mahouse.gov.
