The Ghostlight Project - Milford Arts Council
The Milford Arts Center is taking part in this Ghostlight Project. Outside of theaters across our timezone, the theatrical community across the country, joins in solidarity through a shared commitment to greater inclusion, participation and compassion in our theaters and our communities. When our theaters go dark at the end of the night, we turn on a "ghostlight" - offering visibility and safety for all who might enter. This is our theatrical tradition - and our inspiration. Like a ghostlight, the light we create tonight will represent our commitment to safeguard - it will symbolize safe harbor for our values and for any among us, who find ourselves targeted because of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, gender identity, sexual identity or dissident actions in the coming years. And our lights will also symbolize hope - a belief that through our actions, change is possible. Please join us and bring a light to show your solidarity. For more information, please go to: https://theghostlightproject.com/.

Milford Speaks Out on Inauguration Day at Milford City Hall
Join us at noon on January 20th at the steps of Milford City Hall in solidarity with other Milford residents who are ready to make a commitment to uphold the values of fairness, honesty, integrity, tolerance and respect.
As a community and as a country we face challenges and opportunities: The work of fostering a community and country that embraces diversity and encourages personal fulfillment continues; we must continue to protect the rights of women; we must do more to end homelessness and hunger; the reality of climate change cannot be ignored and we must do our part to protect the environment; our schools and educators need our support-democracy cannot survive without an educated population; and we must never forget that it is up to each of us, in our daily lives, to act with honesty and compassion.
It is the urgency of these challenges and the hope for a better world for our children that calls us to come together. Let’s make a statement on January 20 that Milford stands for democratic values and affirm that we are willing to work every day to make this a fairer, healthier and more just community and country.
This event is not
about an election nor is it an opportunity for mere protest; it’s about how we can do our part-on behalf of our community and our children-to counter ignorance and hate, and most importantly, to push back against cynicism and apathy.
“The worst thing that can happen in a democracy-as well as in an individual’s life-is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.” Hillary Clinton.... More >><< Less
