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: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:“Ending the War on Iran” with Behrooz Ghamari and Jamal Abdi
DESCRIPTION:Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund\, the National Iranian American Council (NIAC)\, and the Community Alliance for Peace and Justice (CAPJ) invite you to a timely and critical briefing on the Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the evolving landscape of U.S.–Iran relations. \nThe event had been postponed due to an illness but has now been rescheduled for Monday\, August 3\, 2026\, at 7:30 pm Eastern time. \nThe Iran MOU\, even though violated repeatedly by US attacks\, can present a significant\, though confusing\, shift in diplomacy. To help unpack these developments\, we are joined by Dr. Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi\, a leading scholar of post-revolutionary Iran and U.S.–Iran relations\, and Jamal Abdi\, President of the National Iranian American Council. \nTogether\, they will place the current moment in historical context while examining the geopolitical\, cultural\, and domestic forces shaping relations between the United States and Iran. The discussion will also explore the role of Congress\, the impact of repeated ceasefire breakdowns\, the assassination of negotiators\, and ongoing regional tensions involving Israel. Is a diplomatic breakthrough still possible? What role can the U.S. anti-war movement play in advancing peace? \n \n\n\nSpeakers\nDr. Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi is an Iranian-born historian\, sociologist\, and professor affiliated with the Institute of Iranian Studies at the University of Toronto. He previously served as Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Dr. Ghamari-Tabrizi is the author of four books on the 1979 Iranian Revolution and has written extensively on social theory\, Iranian politics\, and Islamist political thought. His latest book\, The Long War on Iran: New Events\, Old Questions\, examines the decades-long conflict between the United States and Iran while challenging conventional Western perspectives on Iranian society and politics. \nJamal Abdi is the President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and Executive Director of NIAC Action. Since joining NIAC in 2009 as Policy Director\, he has led the organization’s policy\, advocacy\, and educational efforts on behalf of the Iranian American community. Abdi holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Washington and has written for The New York Times\, CNN\, Foreign Policy\, The Hill\, and The Huffington Post. He is also a frequent commentator on international affairs\, appearing on Al Jazeera\, NPR\, BBC Radio\, VOA\, and other national and international media outlets. \nSponsored by: Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund\, National Iranian American Council (NIAC)\, and Community Alliance for Peace and Justice (CAPJ). \nRegister at : masspeace.us/ending-war-iran
