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:Patriot's Day Justice Rally
DESCRIPTION:This Patriots’ Day\, while the rest of the state celebrates liberty\, join us to stand for those being denied it. \n\n\n\nMass 50501 is proud to support this event hosted by FixICE.org. \n\n\n\nWe are gathering at the Burlington ICE Detention Center located at 1000 District Ave in Burlington\, MA to protest\, bear witness\, and support immigrants. The event will include music\, a guest speaker\, and a time for community members to share their personal stories and reasons for showing up. Bring your revolutionary spirit and show immigrants we support them!! \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nYou can support immigrants by bringing non-perishable food items which are distributed to families on site. \n\n\n\nCarpooling & Transportation\n\n\n\nYou will be provided with information about parking and public transportation options upon registration. There is no public parking within a half mile of the facility. Cars parked on District Mall road and adjoining parking lots have been towed if they suspect you are a protestor. Go to https://fixice.org/patriotsrally for more details on parking and more. \n\n\n\nConditions Inside\n\n\n\nOn a quiet side street right behind the Burlington Mall\, immigrants are placed together in cells inside a featureless office building with no sign out front. Originally an administrative building\, people are now detained here\, sometimes for days\, and sleep on a cold floor under Mylar blankets. There is one toilet per cell\, under the watchful eye of a camera. There are no showers\, no handwashing sinks in the cells\, no windows\, no soap\, no food service facility\, no menstrual products for women\, no outdoor time\, and no visitors.
