SUMMARY:Ride for Our Republic
DESCRIPTION:We Ride on Patriot’s Day Weekend! \n\n\n\nOn Saturday we meet at Paul Revere Park across from the playground in Charlestown at 10am and roughly take Paul Revere’s route to Lexington Center Patriot’s Day parade. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nFor our first ride we will use our 2025 12.7-mile route (bike paths + roads)\, but you’re welcome to join or leave at the waypoints where we rally and connect. \n\n\n\nRoute: Boston → Davis Sq (3.9 mi) Davis Sq → Arlington Center (3.8 mi) Arlington Center → Lexington Center (5 mi) \n\n\n\n10:00am – Meet at Paul Revere Park near the playground (North Washington St.\, Charlestown) – rain or shine \n\n\n\n10:45–11:00am – 7 Hills Park\, Davis Square\, Somerville behind the T station \n\n\n\n11:30–11:45am – Uncle Sam Statue\, Arlington Center \n\n\n\nEnding Point – Lexington Center\, Minuteman Bikeway \n\n\n\nOn Monday we do a reverse trip to Boston’s Patriot’s Day Parade. \n\n\n\nRide for Our Republic is a recurring pro-democracy bike ride held on the last Saturday of each month that was held April-October 2025. In the spirit of Paul Revere and on the 250th anniversary of the first American Revolution\, we ride to sound the alarm of tyranny and fight for our democracy. \n\n\n\nFascism cannot flourish where joy and solidarity thrive. That truth is the heartbeat of Ride for Our Republic: a growing community of cyclists reclaiming Boston’s streets and bike paths as spaces of protest\, hope\, and joyful resistance. \n\n\n\nPlease follow our facebook page: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088170471304 \n\n\n\nOur monthly #Ride4Republic bike protests will go from April to October 2026. \n\n\n\nBring: bright colors or neon\, pro-democracy costumes or signs (bike frame\, basket\, shirt\, or bag)\, American flags\, and No Kings signs. \n\n\n\nDon’t forget water\, snacks\, packed lunch\, sunscreen\, bike lock\, and other ride supplies. \n\n\n\nYours in Solidarity and Joyful Resistance\, \n\n\n\nRide for Our Republic \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd if you see ICE\, CALL LUCE HOTLINE: 617-370-5023 and keep our neighbors safe!

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.
