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:

SUMMARY:The Real Origins of the War\, and Why It Matters Today: with Prof. Ivan Katchanovski
DESCRIPTION:The Real Origins of the War\, and Why It Matters Today: with Prof. Ivan Katchanovski\nTuesday June 23rd @ 7pm ET\n \nProf. Ivan Katchanovski\, a historian at the University of Ottawa\, has taught in the U.S. and Canada for many years. \nHe will discuss his most recent book\, The Ukraine-Russia War and Its Origins: From the Maidan Massacre to the Ukraine War. His research into the Feb. 2014 Maidan protests\, massacre in Kiev\, and its aftermath refute much of the dominant narrative of the Ukrainian and U.S. governments about the causes of the war. 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: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.)
