SUMMARY:Postcard Party
DESCRIPTION:Send hand-written postcards to voters in states that will play a key role in taking back Congress and in electing leaders who will fight back against the current authoritarian regime. Postcards educate voters\, urge them to register to vote\, and urge them to vote for specific candidates in special elections\, primaries\, and the November 2026 mid-term elections. Hand-written postcards have been proven in multiple studies to boost turnout enough to swing elections. Each packet of 15 postcards has everything you need\, and costs $10 to cover stamps and cards for those who can afford it. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nIt’s more fun to write together\, but if you can’t stay\, you can also stop by and pick up postcards to write at home.

SUMMARY:Fix ICE!
DESCRIPTION:Come join us Monday and Tuesday 11-1 to protest ICE cruelties. \n\n\n\nWhere: Burlington\, MA: From 11–12 we hold signs on a busy street to communicate our message publicly\, and from 12–1 we gather outside the ICE office for a more informal time of signs\, speaking out\, connection\, and visible solidarity with immigrants while making our presence known to ICE.What to bring: A sign!Meeting point: Corner of Burlington Mall Road and District Ave\, closest to Pressed Cafe.After: Optionally join us for lunch at Pressed Cafe. \n\n\n\nParking near 1000 District Ave\, Burlington \n\n\n\nICE Jail\n\n\n\nFor a deep look at what happens inside ICE detention\, visit the full resource at https://bearingwitnessne.org/inside-ice \n\n\n\nInteractions\n\n\n\n\nImmigrants who are fortunate to leave the facility have shown gratitude for our presence and some share their stories with us.\n\n\n\nICE agents tend to cover their faces with masks\, many record us with their phones\, others give a satisfied smile or laugh\, they rarely say anything.\n\n\n\nThe security officers stationed at the front of the building have not hassled us.\n\n\n\nPassersby from nearby businesses often thank us for being there\, and many have shared that they never knew this was an ICE facility.\n\n\n\n\nParking for District Ave Protests\n\n\n\nThere is parking at busineses and on the street\, but there are risks. See information about where parking is officially allowed and the risk of being towed in the District Ave Area on the What to Expect page of the Bearing Witness page. Note that no one has been towed since Jared and Laurie started protesting in April 2025. In order to be legally towned\, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266\, Section 120D specifies that in order for towing to occur you need to be warned by a sign or a person that parking is restricted. In addition\, the owner of the property must get permission from the chief of police or designee and provide certain information.

SUMMARY:Standing up to the billionaire agenda: SURJ in conversation with Graham Platner
DESCRIPTION:This year\, we have the chance to fight not only to cut the legs out from under Trump’s billionaire agenda\, but to take on the Democratic establishment that is refusing to stand up to him and fight for working-class people. SURJ is proud to put our endorsement behind candidates we believe will help implement that vision. \n\n\n\nWe helped our first endorsed candidate\, Analilia Mejía\, win her special election in a major upset in New Jersey. Next\, we were excited to endorse the Sunrise Movement co-founder and longtime organizer Will Lawrence running for Congress in Michigan. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nNow\, we’re proud to put our endorsement behind Graham Platner\, a Marine veteran and oyster farmer\, who is running in the Maine Democratic Senate primary\, calling out the divide-and-conquer tactics of the billionaire class and the despicable actions of ICE\, standing up for Palestinians\, trans people\, and the working class.  \n\n\n\nJoin Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) in conversation with Graham Platner\, a working-class oyster farmer running in the Democratic primary for Senate in Maine. SURJ has endorsed Platner because we believe that his vision for taking on the divide-and-conquer tactics of the billionaire agenda by building the multi-racial\, working-class is exactly what we need right now. Not only to fight against MAGA\, but also to stand up to mainstream Democrats who are failing to lead us towards a country that puts people above profit. \n\n\n\nWith SURJ leaders\, we’ll discuss how his combat deployments in the Middle East shaped his anti-war politics\, what it will take to divert white men from the far right online pipeline\, and how we can work to expand our movement for racial and economic justice and stand up to the billionaire agenda.
