Rally Against Budget Cuts on Tuesday, May 19th:
The ARC of Massachusetts has scheduled the rally to begain at 11 a.m. on the State House steps, with Folk Music icons Peter Yarrow and Noel "Paul" Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary to speak and perform for the crowd. The ARC organized this event after reviewing the Senate's Committee on Ways & Means FY10 budget released on Wednesday.
