The Old North Church’s lanterns, area churches’ bells, and Paul Revere’s ride symbolize the importance of swift action and individual initiative in the face of threats to liberty. It’s a reminder of the need to be vigilant and that even seemingly small actions can have a big impact.
Ringing bells on April 18 celebrates that spirit of patriotism and resistance against oppression, reminding all of us to stand up for what we believe.
Here are ways you can participate!
- Ring bells online (social media gifs, apps, short videos, etc.)
- Spread the word
- Ask your church, synagogue, or university to ring its bells
- No big bells? Join with your fellow parishioners and friends to ring bells anywhere
