SUMMARY:Burma Shave Standouts - Arlington
DESCRIPTION:The third No Kings protest is scheduled for March 28. Events are being planned throughout the U.S. and in many foreign countries to demand that Trump and the Republican-led Congress stop their unconstitutional power grab and the cruel destruction of our federal government. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo publicize the No Kings protests\, we plan to hold signs from 4:30 to 5:30 pm on three dates in March at high visibility locations in Arlington. Signs will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe signs are designed after the World War 2 era poem which begins “First they came for the Communists\, and I did not speak out….”  We will replace “Communists” with “immigrants”\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are looking for people who are available to pick up a sign by 4:15 and hold it at a designated location for the full hour\, 4:30-5:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP for 1\, 2 or all 3 dates. The location for each standout and other important details will be sent closer to the date. You will be notified if the standout needs to be rescheduled or cancelled due to bad weather. \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:Bear Witness- Protest and Food  Drive Wednesdays at ICE
DESCRIPTION:“We invite you to stand in solidarity outside the ICE Enforcement & Removal Operations Office in Burlington every Wednesday from 11am-1pm. We’re grateful to those who have previously joined us at this facility\, and we hope that more will consider attending. Together\, we can show love & support for immigrants\, express our shame at ICE\, and bear witness to the cruel and unconstitutional actions of our government.”Schedule11:00-11:30\, Welcome chat; orientation for new folks; sign-making for those who need them11:30-12:30\, Stand (or sit) with signs12:30-1:00\, Short walk along the sidewalk on District AveThe ICE building in Burlington is the detention and enforcement office for New England. Immigrants must come here for appointments. The standouts are peaceful and offer support for those who must show up here. Signs expressing support for immigrants are welcome. \n\n\n\n\nMore Info & Email Updates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs far as we know\, the Mall is continuing to restrict parking to mall shoppers only. We continue to invite you to be creative while we work on a solution to this problem. If you scroll down further\, there are some suggested alternative parking possibilities. \n\n\n\n\n\nThere was a small group of counter-protesters again at the Saturday vigil\, and we may expect to see counter-protesters more regularly now. The important thing is to not engage with counter-protesters. Please ignore them. We will continue to peacefully exercise our first amendment rights. \n\n\n\nA weather reminder for our gatherings during the winter season — by default\, we will plan to gather\, and ask people to use their own judgment about what conditions are safe for them. Please do be safe. If Burlington schools close due to weather\, we will cancel the usual 11am-1pm public gathering and the organizing team will make some other arrangement to safely maintain the continuity of our vigil for that day that does not require the general public. \n\n\n\nAs usual\, this gathering outside ICE is a very targeted action; it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. We all care about many issues\, but each Wednesday we come together across differences. Regardless of your views on any other political or social issues\, if you support immigrants and their constitutional rights and are committed to nonviolence you are welcome to join us. We have a stash of signs and small U.S. flags that have been donated\, and you’re welcome to bring your own signs and U.S. flags if you have them. \n\n\n\nHere are some parking options that have been suggested\, while we explore a resolution with the mall or other options: \n\n\n\n\nFor those looking to switch to public transportation\, one option is the 350 Bus. This runs from Alewife to Burlington Mall Rd. You can park or bike to the Alewife T stop\, and the bus leaves Alewife at 10:46am and arrives at District Ave. at 11:15am.\n\n\n\nAlternatively\, you can drive to Burlington and park at Simonds Park\, at Rev. Andrew’s United Church of Christ (6 Lexington St. Burlington\, MA)\, or at Rabbi Abramson’s Temple Shalom Emeth\, 16 Lexington St.\,and walk to the 350 bus stop at the intersection of Cambridge St. and Bedford St. That bus leaves at 11:09am and arrives at 11:17am. If you’d like to arrive before 11:00am\, there’s a bus that leaves an hour earlier at 10:09am.\n\n\n\nYou can park at Wegmans. 53 Third Avenue. Burlington\, MA 01803. The Lowell LRTA #14 bus goes by there and stops at Lexington and Mall Rd. That bus is free.\n\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: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

SUMMARY:Speak Their Names: A Boston Massacre Anniversary Vigil | Protest in Dedham
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Neponset Valley Progressives and Dedham Democrats \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen shots were fired in Boston on March 5\, 1770\, colonists responded with outrage\, demanding a government that answered to and protected the people.  The parallels between events culminating in the Boston Massacre\, and those taking place today are striking. Like British troops back then\, ICE and CBP agents are occupying our cities to enforce\, even violently\, the whims of an autocrat. To highlight those parallels\, Neponset Valley Progressives and the Dedham Democratic Town Committee will sponsor a candlelight vigil in Dedham Square. On that date\, we will hold (already-created) signs bearing the names of each person killed by ICE and CBP along with those who have died in ICE custody. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn March 5\, 2026\, we gather in that same spirit for a candlelight vigil to remember those who have died in ICE custody and to resist policies that strip people of their rights. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe need at least 50 people to hold signs memorializing the 40+ people who have died in ICE custody since early 2025. We will supply the signs and candles. Church bells will ring and songs will be sung. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister 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:Standout for Democracy | Protest in Methuen
DESCRIPTION:This a local Indivisible event! Our standout is comprised of a group of seniors who decided to do more than watch the news\, become upset\, anxious\, and feel powerless about what is happening in and to our country. We began a peaceful protest action to register our displeasure! We wanted to demonstrate in a way that empowered us and allowed us to take back some control and voice our concerns. Our motto is “WE MARCHED THEN\, WE MARCH NOW.” Since we range in age from the 70s to 90s\, we try to standout on Fridays from 1pm to 2pm. We standout weather permitting so we would not standout in the rain or snow. We are looking forward to warmer weather. We are glad to be a part of Greater Methuen Indivisible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister 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:Citizen Bank Protests
DESCRIPTION:Citizens Bank is financing ICE detention companies. \n\n\n\nCitizens Bank talks a lot about valuing diversity and building strong communities.

Severe medical neglect. Children locked up for months on end. But even as the heartbreaking stories pour out of ICE detention centers\, Citizens Bank keeps pouring money into them.  \n\n\n\n\nDe-Ice Citizen’s Bank\n\n\n\nWho are Geo Group and Core Civic?\n\n\n\n\n\nSend a Letter to Citizen’s Bank\n\n\n\n\nCitizens Bank has dodged accountability for their important role in supporting inhumane ICE detention. Until now. \n\n\n\n\nActon | 10:30 AM-12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nArlington |  11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nBoston (Jamaica Plain) | 11:00- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nBrockton |  11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nBrookline |  11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nBurlington | 12 Noon – 1:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\nCambridge Central  Square | 10:30 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nCambridge Harvard Square | 11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nConcord | 11::00 AM- 1:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\nFoxborough | 11:00 AM – 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nHolyoke | 11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nLexington | 11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nMedfield | 10:30 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nMedford | 11:00 AM – 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nNorthampton | 11:00 AM – 12 Noon \n\n\n\n\n\nSommerville (Davis Square) | 11:00 AM – 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nSpringfield | 11:00 AM- 12 Noon\n\n\n\n\n\nStow | 11:00 AM – 12 Noon

This event will be part of a series of nationwide demonstrations that has been publicized in the Boston Globe and Science magazine.  \n\n\n\nTENTATIVE SPEAKERS (as of 2.28.26) \n\n\n\n\nKatie Blair\, JD – Director\, Massachusetts Families for Vaccines; MA SUFS Lead Organizer\n\n\n\nDr. Thomas Michel – Professor of Cardiology\, Harvard Medical School; Brigham and Women’s Hospital\n\n\n\nGrace Yang –  Undergraduate Student in Neuroscience and Health Policy\, Brandeis; President of Students for Science \n\n\n\nDr. Marzyeh Ghassemi – Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology \n\n\n\nMarc Abrahams – Founder\, Ig Nobel Prizes\n\n\n\nDr. Nancy Kanwisher – Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\n\n\n\nDr. Sergei Mirkin – Professor of Biology\, Tufts University\n\n\n\nJaida Elcock – PhD Candidate in Biological Oceanography\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\n\n\n\nDr. Sarah Hengel – Professor of Biology\, Tufts University\n\n\n\nShoshana Daly – Undergraduate Student in Biochemistry\, Tufts University\n\n\n\nDr. Eric Maskin – Professor of Economics and Mathematics\, Harvard University; Nobel Laureate\n\n\n\nDr. Michael Rosbash – Professor of Biology\, Brandeis University; Nobel Laureate\n\n\n\nEmma Galbraith – Undergraduate Student in Neuroscience\, University of New Hampshire\n\n\n\nEm Cosgrove – Undergraduate Student in Marine\, Estuarine\, and Freshwater Biology\, University of New Hampshire; Press Director for Students for Science \n\n\n\nRalph St. Louis – PhD Student in Educational Leadership\, UMass Lowell \n\n\n\nDr. Abby Schiff\, MD\, PhD – Postdoctoral Fellow in Rheumatology\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital\n\n\n\nDr. Noel Vest – Professor of Community Health Sciences\, Boston University; Formerly Incarcerated Scientist\n\n\n\nDr. William Kaelin\, MD – Professor of Oncology\, Harvard Medical School; Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Nobel Laureate\n\n\n\nDr. Gary Ruvkun – Professor of Genetics\, Harvard Medical School; Massachusetts General Hospital; Nobel Laureate\n\n\n\nDr. Kylie Bemis – Professor of Computer Sciences\, Northeastern University\n\n\n\n\nThe current administration has slashed budgets for agencies that support critical research\, such as the NIH\, NSF\, CDC\, FDA\, and NOA\, sacking leadership at these agencies and laying off hundreds of scientists. Cuts to indirect costs at universities and research institutions further tear into resources for science education and research. Together with the cancelation of grant review panels and delays in payment of previously funded grants\, the administration’s actions place the entire scientific enterprise at risk. \n\n\n\nScience\, more than any other endeavor\, has been the engine of America’s success since WWII. Other nations envy our research community and send their best and brightest to train in our universities. It is important that we convey the value of our work in a way that is likewise clear to our own elected leaders as well as to voters and taxpayers. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for More Information\n\n\n\n\nAt this time of existential threat to the survival of science as we know it in the US\, it is time to stand up. Please pass this message to your colleagues\, friends\, and family\, and post on social media. If they are not in Massachusetts\, they can look up their closest gathering site at https://standupforscience2025.org. The fight for science and education is everyone’s fight for a better future.
