SUMMARY:Rally and Hearings for Immigration Bills
DESCRIPTION:The Protecting Massachusetts Communities Campaign is holding a pre-hearing rally at 9 AM in Room 428 at the State House and has also created this Social Media Toolkit to share information about the hearings. Some Indivisibles are planning to attend the hearings and would love to have you join them in Boston! If you’re unable to attend the hearings in person\, you can watch them online using the hearing links above. \n\n\n\n\nLivestream hearings here\n\n\n\n\nNext Tuesday\, November 25\, two state legislative committees have scheduled separate hearings for key bills to protect immigrants. We know many of you may be away or busy with holiday preparations\, but please take a few minutes to email or call your state legislators about these important bills that IMC members recently endorsed. Get more information about actions to take\, including suggested call scripts\, in the Teams section below.Earlier this month\, the Public Safety Committee scheduled a hearing for several immigration bills\, including the Safe Communities Act\, starting at 11:30 AM in Gardner Auditorium\, the largest hearing room at the State House. \n\n\n\nLate last week\, the Judiciary Committee announced that it will be holding a hearing the same day in Room A-2 in the State House starting at 10 AM on a large number of bills\, including two other immigration bills that IMC members endorsed: the Dignity Not Deportations Act and the Immigrant Legal Defense Act.

SUMMARY:Field Trip to Safe Communities Act Hearing
DESCRIPTION:The Legislature has scheduled a hearing on the Safe Communities Act for Tuesday\, November 25 in Gardner Auditorium at the State House. While you can watch the hearing (and even submit testimony) online\, we hope you can join us to attend the hearing in person to show support for this bill that is urgently needed to protect immigrant rights and public safety. \n\n\n\nThe hearing begins at 11:30am and you’re welcome to meet us at the State House\, but we are also trying to organize carpools that will leave from Lexington and/or Arlington around 10am and arrive back mid-afternoon. Use the form below to let us know if you hope to attend the hearing\, and if you’re willing to drive or need a ride\, please indicate that below by Saturday\, Nov. 22. \n\n\n\n\nSign up here\n\n\n\n\nEven if you’re unable to attend the hearing\, there are actions you can take now to urge our state legislators to pass important bills to protect immigrants. Last month\, ICE detained nearly 1\,500 people in Massachusetts\, including longtime residents\, workers\, taxpayers\, parents\, and neighbors who contribute deeply to our communities – tell your legislators they need to act! \n\n\n\nYou can email your legislators here to ask them to co-sponsor and support the Safe Communities Act and the Immigrant Legal Defense Act.
