SACH remembers and celebrate Dr Martin Luther King’s legacy on this day in an environment where we’ve reached a crescendo of outcries and protests for social justice and in a sensitive political climate where tensions and emotions are running high. We are left grappling with how to deal with these issues and pondering the impact this might be having on our young ones. Please watch and share this with your fellow community members and school children.

Our Campaign for 2020-21
#ConversationsNotConspiracies
Starting August 18th, 2020, we launched this campaign - #ConversationsNotConspiracies, to urge all residents of Hopkinton to have open conversations. When you spread conspiracies, it deeply hurts communities! We need more #ConversationsNotConspiracies. We used artwork contributed by Hopkinton community artists and students of all age groups towards this campaign.
This campaign is an initiative in the light of recent incidents in Hopkinton to fight prejudice against certain communities .
#ConversationsNotConspiracies is intended to showcase a series of artwork through a journey that starts with shock, pain and anger to show how conspiracies can impact communities. The journey then moves to a more positive message focusing on healing and the impact of conversations .
