SUMMARY:Justice 4 All Thursdays
DESCRIPTION:Via Turn Purple 2 Blue:\n\nGreater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN) invites you to stand in solidarity with immigrants and resistance to ICE and their cruel and lawless detention of our neighbors Thursdays from 11am-1pm. Regardless of any other political views\, you are welcome to join us and demand Justice 4 All so long as you do so non-violently. \nOur friends at Bearing Witness have been hosting gatherings at this location for many weeks. We are an unaffiliated group\, but very much aligned with their values and mission. Our goal is to add to the total number of hours that citizens stand in non-violent opposition to the deplorable detainment conditions at this location. If you have been to Bearing Witness on Wednesdays\, we would love to have you at Justice 4 All Thursdays. \nSchedule (Starting Thursday\, September 4 – more dates to follow) \n11:00-11:30 Welcome; music; announcements\n11:30-12:30 Stand with signs along District Ave\n12:30-1:00 Optional short march down to Mall Rd. \nWhat happens at this ICE office? \nICE personnel depart from District Ave. in unmarked vans with tinted windows on missions to abduct immigrants across New England. Immigrants may also show up at the office for appointments. The facility on District Ave was never intended to be a detention center\, yet immigration lawyers and media interviews reveal that people are now being housed here in conditions that have been called “abysmal” and “unsanitary.” \nWhat to expect at Justice 4 All? \nWe are committed to nonviolence\, and we stand peacefully with signs outside the facility. We do not block the entrance\, we do not physically approach ICE agents as they walk to/from the parking lot\, and we do not block traffic on District Ave. \nSigns \nThis is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility\, so it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues\, while outside ICE we must remain focused on immigration.  \nParking and other tips \nFor parking\, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road\, follow signs for Macy’s\, see map). For those with mobility challenges\, please keep in mind that the lots closest to ICE — the FAA lot beside ICE and the BAE Systems lot directly across the street from ICE — have both been blocked off. There are restaurants nearby (Clover\, Pressed Cafe\, Chipotle) to get food and use the bathroom. Before arriving\, please consider your own self-preservation (citizenship status) and self-care (sunscreen\, hydration\, etc.)

SUMMARY:"Truth and Consequence"\, a Book by Daniel Ellsberg
DESCRIPTION:A talk with the book’s editors\, Michael Ellsberg and Jan Thomas.\n \nJoin us for a conversation with Michael Ellsberg\, son of the late Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg\, and Jan R. Thomas\, Daniel’s longtime assistant. The two are the editors of the recently published Truth and Consequence: Reflections on Catastrophe\, Civil Resistance\, and Hope\, a posthumous collection of Daniel’s previously unpublished writings.\n\nAlmost all Americans of a certain age\, and all students of political science and history\, know the name Daniel Ellsberg. And they mostly know him for his incredibly courageous act of leaking what became known as “The Pentagon Papers” – classified documents that told the truth of our government’s massive cover up of the prosecution of the Vietnam War.\nWhat is lesser-known by the average American is that Daniel\, at the tender age of 27\, had one of highest level security clearances in government as a top nuclear consultant and strategic analyst to the Rand corporation\, the Pentagon and the White House. And then later went on to be one of the most vociferous voices decrying the insanity of planning for a war that would effectively end civilization as we know it. He published this story in 2017 in the seminal book\, The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. \nWhat is even lesser-known is that Daniel was a prolific writer\, but rarely published his writings. Now\, 3 years after his tragic passing from pancreatic cancer\, his son\, Michael Ellsberg\, in conjunction with Jan Thomas\, one of Daniel’s earliest assistants\, have collected and curated a volume of never-before published personal and professional musings\, notes and warnings that give deep tremendous insight into the thoughts behind this brilliant mind. \nPlease join us on Thursday\, June 25th at 7pm EDT as we welcome Michael and Jan to discuss this all important book.\nRegister to attend:

He’ll also discuss his research into the military realities of the past four years of war\, and the prospects for a negotiated peace settlement to prevent Ukraine from suffering even greater losses of soldiers\, territory\, and economic infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Vets Say NO to the Iran War
DESCRIPTION:Over 150 veterans and military families occupied the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building on April 20\, 2026 to protest the war in Iran. This webinar acknowledges and explores the resistance of enlisted soldiers and veterans to this illegal war. The webinar also takes up the war crimes committed by the US military involving the destruction of Iranian culture and the murder of Iranian people and the psychological impact of these crimes on soldiers. \n\nAbout Face is a group of active duty soldiers and veterans organizing to end the US foreign policy of permanent war.  Originally formed in 2004 as Iraq Veterans Against the War\, they have been speaking out out against US wars based on lies and advocating for active duty and returning veterans since then.  \nSpeakers: \nKevin Benderman is a Board Member of About Face and served ten years in the US Army. First deployed to Iraq in March 2003\, he refused to return for a second deployment because of the lies that preceded the invasion\, the harm being done to the Iraqi people\, and because it went against everything he thought it meant to be a soldier. Denied conscientious objector status\, he was court-martialed\, confined for 15 months\, dishonorably discharged and lost all benefits. \nJeff Parente is a graduate of Penn State University and an Iraq War\, Marine Corps veteran. He has been a member of Veterans for Peace for ten years and About Face: Veterans Against the War for almost 3 years as well as working with multiple other organizations.

He joined the US Army ust before 9/11 and took part in the invasion of Iraq. When he returned home he got involved in the struggle against the war\, leading civil disobedience against the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.  Many of the active duty soldiers who accessed the media he has produced\, including the podcast Eyes Left\, have become war resisters. \nNancy Goldner\, LICSW\, has been an anti-war activist since the Vietnam War. She has supported the emotional recovery of veterans from the trauma of America’s endless wars since founding the Returning Veterans Response Network in 2007\, now part of The Soldiers Project.

We do not block the entrance\, we do not physically approach ICE agents as they walk to/from the parking lot\, and we do not block traffic on District Ave. \nSigns \nThis is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility\, so it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues\, while outside ICE we must remain focused on immigration.  \nParking and other tips \nFor parking\, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road\, follow signs for Macy’s\, see map). For those with mobility challenges\, please keep in mind that the lots closest to ICE — the FAA lot beside ICE and the BAE Systems lot directly across the street from ICE — have both been blocked off. There are restaurants nearby (Clover\, Pressed Cafe\, Chipotle) to get food and use the bathroom. Before arriving\, please consider your own self-preservation (citizenship status) and self-care (sunscreen\, hydration\, etc.)

SUMMARY:Organizing for Progressive Leadership in CD1
DESCRIPTION:Those of us in CD1 have long been trying to figure out how to replace Rep. Richard Neal with someone who actually is progressive\, who actually will respond to at least some of our agenda\, who actually will meet with us and listen to us. Several candidates whom we have backed have tried to do this over the last decade. We have not so far succeeded. \nSo now we have another chance. With Jeromie Whalen. We are sure that you already know about him and probably are backing him. \nWe in Massachusetts Peace Action\, the whole board\, voted to endorse Jeromie\, and now we are trying to figure out how we can help make sure he wins the September primary. We want to ask you to come to a meeting. Yes\, another meeting – June 10 at 7 pm\, via zoom.  We are reaching out to you\, our MAPA members in CD1 and our best and most progressive buddies in W. Mass and CD1\, to talk with us as to what we in MAPA can do with you to push Jeromie forward to victory. \nWe have a few ideas: Houseparties in different parts of the CD. Joining the campaign in doorknocking\, taking voter registration forms with us. Making sure there are house signs everywhere. Donating. But we actually would like to ask for your help to help us figure out where we  can make the most difference. \nWill you join us? \n \n
