The Tech Billionaires Are Coming for Fair Share. Here's How to Fight Back.
2026-05-13 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
The corporate lobby in Massachusetts is backing two ballot questions that, combined, would cut 10% of the state budget, defunding essential programs on which we all depend, hobbling the state economy, and exacerbating the damage from federal cuts to health care and food assistance. All of this to enrich themselves.

Block by Block Training & Action Series | Virtual Training by SURJ
2026-05-13 20:00 - 21:30 | Virtual Event – Join from Anywhere
Join us for our ‘Block by Block’ Training & Action Series—a hands-on program designed to help you launch and lead a team for 2026 national campaign!

Block by Block is SURJ’s 2026 national campaign to elect champions for working people, block MAGA, and fight for the future we deserve. We do this through three strategies: Mobilize through mass action, Elect working class champions, and Grow a strong, active base.

This online training series is designed to train and support new groups, circles and chapters to run Block by Block: Solidarity Rising in your communities for the rest of the year. Groups will deepen organizing skills, align with national strategy, and be ready to take action locally. We’ll meet every other week online for training. On the off weeks, your group will gather locally to practice skills, grow your base, and take action.

This training series will consist of three modules, each focused on one part of our strategy:

Grow Module — March 4 & 18, 2026

Learn how to bring new people into your group, plug them into meaningful roles, build strong and accountable teams, and develop leaders who can carry the work forward. Growing our base is essential to winning—this is how we build the scale and discipline needed to carry out Block by Block for the rest of the year.

Mobilize Module — April 1, 15 & 29, 2026

Get trained to organize coordinated, strategic action using tools of mass noncooperation. Prepare to move quickly when our rights and democracy are threatened, and build toward May Day: A Day Without Workers.

Elect Module — May 13, 2026

Learn why governing power is a key part of our strategy and the role your circle, chapter, or group can play in supporting progressive candidates and blocking MAGA power.

By the end of this series, your group will be ready to grow your base, mobilize for action, and take part in electoral strategy. We’ll provide all the structure, toolkits, and guidance you need to plug into our national program and make a real difference—block by block.

We encourage at least one member from every group, circle, or chapter to join, but ideally more! Sign up for all the sessions—even if you can’t make them all, we’ll send recordings so you won’t miss anything. And for more info on the Block by Block campaign, check out the 1-pager.

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.

Our 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.

Weather

All 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.

No change to event:Normal to heavy RainWindy, but no warningsLight snow on ground, but not falling

Cancel:Burlington schools cancelledTemp/Wind Chill < 20FStorm advisory with snow or high wind predictedFreezing rain falling or predicted

What happens at this ICE office?

ICE 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.”

What to expect at Justice 4 All?

We 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.

Signs

This 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.

Parking and other tips

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.).

If 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.

See you in Burlington!

Resistance Book Club
2026-05-15 10:30 - 11:30 | Silver Unicorn Bookstore, 12 Spruce St, Acton, Massachusetts, 01720
Our current presidential administration seems intent on erasing critical aspects of American history, both historic injustice, and the struggles for freedom and democracy that are parts of our past. Led by community member and friend of the store Bob Van Meter, the Resistance Book Club will read works that tell important parts of that history.

The book club will meet on the third Friday of the month at 10:30 AM here at the store. The first meeting will be on Friday, February 20th, and the book pick will be The Second Founding by Eric Foner. It’s a concise history of the adoption of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which Foner argues should be seen as a second founding of the nation.

Yet it provides hundreds of millions of dollars in financial support and services to the country’s large for-profit prison and detention center builders and operators—CoreCivic and The GEO Group. While other US banks have pulled out of the business, Citizens Bank has deepened its ties with the big winners in ICE’s war on immigrants.
