SUMMARY:Safe Communities Act Hearing
DESCRIPTION:ICE is creating an environment of fear in our neighborhoods. Our neighbors are afraid to go to work\, to the hospital\, to send their children to school\, to worship in peace\, or contact their government. \nIt’s time for all of us to speak up. We can change Massachusetts law to protect our neighbors and end collaboration with ICE. \nThe public has the right to testify (in person\, virtually\, or in writing) on Tuesday Nov. 25th at 11am. But you have to sign up by 5pm today (Thursday Nov. 20th). \n3 Minutes to tell the Public Safety Committee why we shouldn’t be collaborating with ICE. Here’s a fact sheet to help you! \nWhen we win the Safe Communities Act will: \n\nPrevent state and local law enforcement from doing the work of ICE agents\nExtend legal protections like Miranda rights to all our neighbors\nLet immigrants interact with police and government officals without fear of being turned in to ICE\nEnsure your State and Local taxes aren’t also fueling ICE\nWe need you to voice your opposition to ICE’s dangerous and illegal actions.\n\nClick here to register to testify! \nIf you can’t join us in person or virtually\, send a message to your State Reps and Governor Healey. \nClick here to urge your representatives to support the Safe Communities Act! \nYou can also call: \nThe State House at (617) 727-1100\nGovernor Healey at (617) 725-4005\nThe Safe Communities Act already has over 70 cosponsors. That’s over 1/3 of the legislature! \nConnecticut\, California\, Illinois\, Washington\, and other states already have this law on the books! There’s no good reason for Massachusetts to lag behind. \nWe all have a responsibility to stick up for our neighbors. Time to draw the line.

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.)
