Soul Speak - Unveiling the Divine: Reclaiming the Sacredness of Black Bodies
Join ReRooted Productions for an uplifting event celebrating Black folk's inherent divinity and sacredness, focusing on the connection between body, mind, spirit, and ancestry.
Following the sold-out run of Crown of Times, ReRooted Productions is back at the Museum of Science with their new conversation and performance series Soul Speak. This engaging series will explore themes related to cultural identity, community activism, and Black self-care.
26th Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup
Join us for the 26th year of the Earth Day Charles River Cleanup and give back to the river and parks that are a centerpiece of the community!
2025 Cleanup events will be taking place April 25th and 26th from 10am–12pm. The Cleanup is one of the most important events of the year to build awareness and raise funds in support of a cleaner, healthier, and more accessible Charles River. On these days, volunteers and groups will clean up an assigned stretch of the Charles River Basin (Cambridge, Watertown, and Allston/Brighton).
26th Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup
The Earth Day Charles River Cleanup builds on a national effort as part of American Rivers’ National River Cleanup®, which has removed over 25 million pounds of trash from America’s waterways. Our cleanup brings together over 3,000 volunteers each year to pick up litter, remove invasive species and assist with park maintenance along all 80 miles of the Charles River.
By volunteering with CRWA, you’ll be able to participate in the cleanup of the parks, forests, and paths of our watershed! We host sites in towns throughout the watershed, so whether you live in Hopkinton, Boston, or anywhere in between, we have a site for you, your friends, or your community group. In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, we encourage volunteers to bring their own pair of gloves. Trash bags, picker-uppers, and other cleanup materials will be supplied to those who wish to participate.
26th Annual Earth Day Charles River Cleanup
The 26th Annual Charles River Cleanup will take place in the spring of 2025 on
Friday, April 25th and Saturday, April 26th from 10am to 12pm.
Registration is now OPEN.
If you have questions regarding registration, please email our Volunteer & Engagement Coordinator, Molly Ryan at mryan@esplanade.org.
