(also a bunch of Unitarian Universalist churches, which does not surprise me as we're the ones most likely to arrange something last-minute on Good Friday because we heard about it on Rachel Maddow :-D)

https://www.letfreedomring.live/media has reports and videos from the other churches/towers/individuals that rang their bells in solidarity last night.  Includes Stetson Chapel, Kalamazoo, and St. Luke's, Atlanta (with a short video of call changes on 4).

I see that the Maddow clip includes the link to https://www.letfreedomring.live/, so this does appear to be an organized thing.

There is the background for the history and the anniversary at the beginning of the show, and then slightly after 3 minutes in, there is mention of our ringing.  She said that there will be ringing across the country at the same time. I didn't know about that. We (via the church office) were requested to do some special ringing tomorrow, but maybe this is a bigger organization than the person who originally wrote to us?  At any rate our commemorative ringing will be at 6-7 PM tonight, before the lantern service, which will be livestreamed.

    Maddow also talked about the 19th as a day of protests. I can't find much mention of an on-foot protest tomorrow in Boston.  They are happening in Worcester and Hyannis, for example.  There will be Lexington residents protesting a couple of times tomorrow but I'll be in Boston for practice and I was too disorganized to order one of the nice "No King  No Tyranny" signs to hold.
     I specified nothing on foot because I found this
bike ride from the North End to Lexington partly along the Minuteman Bikeway

I know nothing about it but that.  I'm not involved in any way.
