SUMMARY:To Immigrants With Love | Valentine's Week of Action
DESCRIPTION:This Valentine’s Day week\, people across the country are coming together to show love and solidarity with immigrant communities—and to reject the violent\, intrusive\, and unlawful tactics being carried out by the Trump Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). \n\n\n\nThis is a weekend of nonviolent action\, collective care\, and public accountability. Sign up to show your participation and to receive updates and resources. \n\n\n\nBelow are 4 simple ways to take part. Choose one or take on several. Every action matters. \n\n\n\n1) Share Love & Solidarity on Social Media Use your voice to help flood social media with messages of love\, dignity\, and solidarity for immigrants and their families. \n\n\n\nWhat to do: \n\n\n\n\nPost a message of love and solidarity for immigrant communities Share why you believe immigrants deserve safety\, dignity\, and due process\n\n\n\nLift up stories from your own community if you feel comfortable\n\n\n\n\nPlease use this To Immigrants With Love social media toolkit from FWD.us with sample language\, graphics\, and video templates. Social Toolkit: https://tinyurl.com/5kz75rbf \n\n\n\nWhy it matters: Public narrative shapes public action. When we show up together online\, we counter fear with humanity. \n\n\n\n2) Call on Congress: Demand Accountability from ICE and CBP Congress has the power—and the responsibility—to oversee DHS and stop abuses. \n\n\n\nWhat to do: \n\n\n\n\nCall or email your U.S. Senators and Representative\n\n\n\nDemand real accountability\, transparency\, and consequences for ICE and CBP abuses\n\n\n\nOppose any new funding for ICE or CBP without enforceable oversight and accountability\n\n\n\n\nCall the Capitol switchboard and ask to be connected with your members of Congress: (202) 224-3121 \n\n\n\nYou can also use these quick and simple email tools to send your members of Congress a message right now! \n\n\n\n\nPublic Citizen tool: https://act.citizen.org/page/93402/action/1?locale=en-US\n\n\n\nStand Up America tool: https://act.standupamerica.com/letters/letter-no-ice-funding/\n\n\n\n\n3) Plug into Ongoing Immigrant Rights Actions here on Turn Purple 2 Blue! \n\n\n\nHere are a few more great groups doing important ongoing work! \n\n\n\nNational Daylaborer Organizing Network (NDLON) – Adopt a Corner https://ndlon.org/adopt-a-day-labor-corner/ \n\n\n\nDetention Watch Network – Communities Not Cages https://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/take-action/communitiesnotcages \n\n\n\nUnited We Dream – Deportation Defense https://unitedwedream.org/our-work/deportation-defense/ \n\n\n\nThe Workers Circle – Freedom Vigils http://freedomvigils.org \n\n\n\nNational Coalition to End Family and Child Detention – Paper Dolls to Free Families: https://tinyurl.com/4w255wpu – Free Families Vigils: https://freefamilies.net/ \n\n\n\n4) Commit to Showing Up for Immigrants in Your Community Solidarity doesn’t stop at policy—it lives in our neighborhoods. \n\n\n\nWhat this can look like: \n\n\n\n\nSupport an immigrant-owned business by donating or buying from them (in MN\, local immigrant owned business are struggling to survive\, and many might not reopen after the occupation)\n\n\n\nConnect through schools and parents associations to provide support to immigrant families\n\n\n\nIf you are a religious person\, ask your pastor to preach from the pulpit and/or connect through a congregation to provide support to families in need\n\n\n\nConnect with local mutual aid networks to provide rides\, translation\, and other kinds of support\n\n\n\nHire a day laborer! Providing a day of work with fair pay is an act of solidarity!\n\n\n\nBake cookies or share a meal with an immigrant family nearby\n\n\n\nSimply check in on neighbors who may be feeling afraid or targeted\n\n\n\nMake it personal: Choose one concrete act of care you can do this weekend—and commit to it.\n\n\n\n\nOur Shared Commitment \n\n\n\nThis weekend is about more than protest. It’s about choosing love over fear\, community over cruelty\, and accountability over abuse of power. No matter how you participate\, thank you for showing up with compassion\, courage\, and solidarity.

SUMMARY:Justice 4 All Thursdays
DESCRIPTION:Greater 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. \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\nSchedule  \n\n\n\n11:00-11:30 Welcome; music; announcements11:30-12:30 Stand with signs along District Ave12:30-1:00 Optional short march down to Mall Rd. \n\n\n\n\nJoin the Email List\n\n\n\nRead past Substack articles\n\n\n\n\nWeather \n\n\n\nAll attendees are ultimately responsible for making their own decisions about travel.  The organizers are going to use the following guidelines to modify or cancel events in advance.  A sudden change in conditions just before or during events\, such as a tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning\, could happen and organizers will do their best to communicate any decisions appropriately. \n\n\n\n\n\nNo change to event:Normal to heavy RainWindy\, but no warningsLight snow on ground\, but not falling \n\n\n\nCancel:Burlington schools cancelledTemp/Wind Chill < 20FStorm advisory with snow or high wind predictedFreezing rain falling or predicted \n\n\n\n\n\nShorten event in advance\, limit to standout:Temp/Wind Chill < 30FTemp Ok\, but ground wetDeep snow in grassy area\, sidewalks clear \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens at this ICE office? \n\n\n\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.” \n\n\n\nWhat to expect at Justice 4 All? \n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\nSigns \n\n\n\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.  \n\n\n\nParking and other tips \n\n\n\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.). \n\n\n\nIf you would like to receive updates on Justice4All Thursdays and reminders of our events\, please add your email below to join our list. We’re excited to reinforce the work of our friends at Bearing Witness and to support our immigrant neighbors. We hope that you will join us. \n\n\n\nSee you in Burlington! \n\n\n\n~Justice4All Thursdays organizers and the Greater Assabet Indivisible Network
