SUMMARY:Bear Witness- Protest and Food  Drive Wednesdays at ICE
DESCRIPTION:Updated with New Carpool and Parking Information! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBEARING WITNESS STANDOUT SCHEDULE AND GUIDELINES \n\n\n\nAbove all\, we are committed to nonviolence. \n\n\n\n\nThe standout takes place every Wednesday\, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\nFrom 11 am to noon\, Bearing Witness organizers and special guest speakers address those gathered and discuss a variety of immigration-related topics. \n\n\n\n\n\nFrom noon-12:30 pm\, the loudspeakers are turned toward the ICE building and those gathered are invited to come up to the microphone and read parts of the U.S. Constitution. \n\n\n\n\n\nFrom 12:30-1 p.m.\, the crowd turns and marches down District Avenue to Mall Road\, where we stand with our signs\, sing and chant\, and wave to passing motorists. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe ALWAYS stand peacefully with signs outside the ICE facility.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe ALWAYS hold signs with supportive messages about immigrants and/or against ICE. We do not focus on other issues. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe do not block the entrance\, approach ICE agents\, or block traffic on District Avenue.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe DO NOT stand in restricted areas as designated by Burlington police.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe IGNORE and do not engage with “counter protestors\,” those who are supporters of ICE.\n\n\n\n\nINTERACTIONS WITH DETAINEES AND ICE OFFICIALS\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\n\nICE agents tend to cover their faces with masks\, many record us with their phones\, others give a smug smile or laugh\, though they rarely say anything.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe security officers stationed at the front of the building have not bothered us to date. \n\n\n\n\n\nMore Info & Email Updates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBEARING WITNESS CARPOOL SERVICE \n\n\n\n\nWe have a NEW volunteer-led carpool\, which operates from a few nearby parking lots. Availability is limited so sign up in advance is highly recommended\, but not required. You can request a ride – or volunteer to be a driver –  using this link (you will receive an email with full details about parking\, etc.):  https://tally.so/r/GxrQkO\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOTHER PARKING OPTIONS \n\n\n\n\nOther than the carpool option\, parking remains an issue for attendees. Please note that you will likely be towed if you park in any private lots along District Avenue or at the Burlington Mall. National Development\, owners of The District properties along District Avenue\, have contracted with Hunter Security Services and Murray’s Towing and will tow cars suspected of parked to attend the standout.  \n\n\n\n\n\nParking is no longer allowed at the AMC Burlington lot. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe MBTA 350 bus runs from the Alewife T stop to Burlington Mall Road. Exit the bus at the “Burlington Mall Road” stop\, opposite NE Executive Park\, which is at the intersection of Mall Road and District Avenue. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you prefer a shorter bus ride\, you can drive to Burlington and park at the United Church of Christ (6 Lexington St.\, Burlington) or Temple Shalom Emeth (16 Lexington St.\, Burlington) and walk to the 350 bus stop at the intersection of Cambridge Street and Bedford Street.\n\n\n\n\nSIGNS FOR THE STANDOUT\n\n\n\nDue to the ongoing parking issues\, we recommend that standout attendees do not bring their own signs (it clearly shows the towing company that you’re heading to the standout).  \n\n\n\nInstead\, please consider borrowing a sign from the large selection offered by Bearing Witness at each Wednesday standout. Upon arrival ask any safety marshall (wearing an orange vest) for the location of the box of signs. At the conclusion of the standout\, please return the signs to the box.  \n\n\n\nIf you choose to bring a sign — and if you use our new carpool service feel free to bring a sign — please remember that this is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility and is not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues\, while outside the ICE facility we must remain focused on immigration. Our goal is to come together across any political differences to show our collective support for immigrants and their rights. \n\n\n\nNeed help or ideas for making a sign? Follow these tips! \n\n\n\nBearing Witness attendees Tina & Jay continue to collect food pantry donations to help local immigrant families. You can drop off unopened food/health/household items by the tree.

SUMMARY:Postcards at Panera | Biweekly in North Andover
DESCRIPTION:Come join us to write postcards with Greater Andover Indivisible’s friendly community. Our overarching objective is to get progressive candidates into office approve progressive legislation / defeat MAGA legislation wherever possible.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAvailable postcard campaigns vary from week to week and by pick-up location. We write cards to key districts around the country to: – Provide info about voter registration and encourage people to register; – Remind people of upcoming elections and encourage voting by providing important information about when/where/how to vote; – Build name recognition for progressive candidates; – Inform people about what their MAGA elected officials are doing; – and more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScripts vary but often use top-of-mind issues\, like healthcare and cost of living\, to attract recipients’ attention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Updates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

SUMMARY:Preach Day of Action Training
DESCRIPTION:Today we are witnessing a “Jim-Crow” era effort to restrict our voting power. The late Congressman John Lewis famously stated\, “ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call ‘Good Trouble\,’ Necessary Trouble.” \n\n\n\nWe are asking the faith community to hold a “Good Trouble Service” on your faith institution’s day of worship during the GTLO Weekend of Action. \n\n\n\nJoin us on July 8\, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET as we discuss the Preach Pillar’s involvement in this year’s GTLO. If you are able to stand in faith with us or would like more information\, please register to join us on July 8\, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a religious leader or a person of faith\, we need you\, nay\, our democracy needs YOU! \n\n\n\nPlease join us for a call with faith leaders to discuss how we can engage in the moral work of supporting and exercising our sacred right to vote. \n\n\n\nPlease note\, Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for\, endorse\, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events.

SUMMARY:Project World Cup Spotlight Boston Event
DESCRIPTION:We have discovered that the Moroccan fan gathering is going to be Wednesday night\, 7/8 at 8 pm in Boston Common. NBC Boston will be there. Join Our Team! Volunteer with Project World Cup Spolight in Boston! \n\n\n\n\nJoin our team and get the exact updated information!\n\n\n\n\nAs the world turns its eyes to Boston for the FIFA World Cup\, we have a massive opportunity to show them what this city stands for. We’re going to meet the global celebration with a powerful\, positive message of our own: The World is Watching\, and We Care About Our Immigrant Neighbors. On July 8th\, Project World Cup Spotlight will be holding a fun\, high-visibility action to support our immigrant communities and call for an end to ICE and the present administration’s inhumane policies. \n\n\n\nWe are adopting the brilliant giant soccer ball concept first developed by the team at our Atlanta protest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q63d2YSrVJk \n\n\n\nImagine a giant\, eight-foot inflatable soccer ball covered in messages of hope and defiance: \n\n\n\n\nWe Love Immigrants\n\n\n\nKindness Is Always the Best Path\n\n\n\nMelt ICE Now\n\n\n\nFreedom from Fear\n\n\n\nNo One is Illegal\n\n\n\nThe logos for Project World Cup Spotlight\, Visibility Brigade\, 50501 and Global Exchange.\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll also have hundreds of smaller\, 16″ inflatable balls to hand out to the crowds\, spreading the message that “Soccer Unites\, ICE Divides.” This is where you come in. To make this happen\, we need a committed team of at least 30 volunteers (and more is always better!). You’ll help manage our giant ball\, hand out the smaller ones\, and engage with fans in a positive way that gets our urgent message seen by both the public and the media. \n\n\n\nThis will be a day of fun\, community\, and powerful action. Are you ready to be a part of it? \n\n\n\nPlease sign up on our link here to volunteer. More specific info will be sent to you the closer we get to the day. \n\n\n\nThank you for standing with us. Let’s show the world the true spirit of Boston! \n\n\n\nIn solidarity\, The Project World Cup Spotlight Team
