Participants are invited to make a sign about an issue that concerns them or one that particularly concerns Frances. The group will march from 33 Hawley Street in Northampton, up Main Street to City Hall, and back again, led by the Expandable Brass Band. Indoors we will break bread together and have brief statements from Frances, her family, & friends.

Well-known activist Frances Crowe is turning 100 on March 15th.  ​ We want to show Frances that her legacy is alive and secure, that the next generation is willing and committed to carry on with “the work” necessary to put an end to war and nuclear weapons, to secure justice for all, and to achieve & sustain a livable planet. 

100th Birthday Celebration for Frances Crowe is organized by a group of friends, working in consultation with Frances Crowe, in collaboration with Historic Northampton, the Northampton Center for the Arts, and the Smith College Sophia Smith Archives.
