Focus group members sought for tweenage social program
|
At the Youth Service Bureau, we know increasingly negative messages are targeting boys ages 8 to 12. Messages about being an “alpha” male equate being a man with anger, violence and misogyny. Kindness, compassion and emotional expression are seen as weaknesses. Voices promoting anger, violence and misogyny are distressingly popular.

Opinion
Addressing these polarizing times
|
On the night of Oct. 21, 2023, a white supremacist group distributed propaganda to some Granby neighbors, seeking white men to turn New England into a whites-only ethnostate by any means. In response, the local nonprofit, Granby Racial Reconciliation, led a Stop the Hate Rally with 200+ people present and distributed free “Hate Has No Place in Our Town” lawn signs—many are still seen in town today. To counter the “us vs. them” of such hate groups, GRR works to support connections and community forged in mutuality, understanding, collaboration, and love.
Due to my perception of a rise in malicious social discourse, I offer portions of the rally speech I gave. We can do better, Granby.
