SUMMARY:Action Hour-IndivisibleLAB
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our Daytime Action Hour to hear from our special guest\, Scotia Hille\, who is the executive director of Act On Mass. \n\n\n\nAct on Mass is a nonprofit organization focused on transparency and accountability in the state legislature in Massachusetts. They are currently working on a few initiatives that would target the tremendous concentration of power in legislative leadership in MA\, which disempowers rank-and-file representatives\, stifles dissent\, and stalls progress. \n\n\n\nExecutive Director Scotia Hille will be joining us to talk about one of these\, a potential ballot question for 2026 to reform MA’s anomalous system of “loyalty pay\,” which allows leaders to use member salaries as a form of control. The question is currently in the signature-gathering phase and actively seeking volunteers.  \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for exact address

SUMMARY:One Million Rising meeting - Fitchburg
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations\, rollbacks of civil rights\, weaponized courts\, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action\, but through sustained organizing in our communities. \n\n\n\nThat’s why this summer\, Indivisible launched One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation\, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. \n\n\n\nLet’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump. \n\n\n\nThis a local Indivisible event! \n\n\n\nPlease join us at the First Parish Church in Fitchburg at 923 Main Street. Parking is available along the Common\, in the post office parking lot\, and in the Workers’ Credit Union parking lot. If you need to park closer\, please let one of the organizers know. It’s important to us that you be there if you want to be. We will make it work! Enter the church on the LEFT side of the building. There will be a sign on the door. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nPlease\, bring a friend or two! One Million Rising is all about bringing more people into the fold. Bring a friend who might just want to hear what we’re all about and what we’re doing about it. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive by 6:45pm – the meeting will begin PROMPTLY at 7pm. \n\n\n\nThe 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:Justice for 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\, starting September 4. 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 (Starting Thursday\, September 4 – more dates to follow) \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\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\n\nJoin the Email List\n\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:Rent Stabilization and the Housing Crisis
DESCRIPTION:In 2023 and 2024\, PDM hosted a series of five Forums to explore the Commonwealth’s housing crisis and identify key strategies to address it. Last year\, the legislature passed the Affordable Homes Act\, an important step forward on a number of these strategies. But many challenges remain\, especially our critical shortage of low and middle-income housing. \n\n\n\nCorporate real estate investors continue to drive up housing prices in many MA communities. Corporate landlords raise rents and reduce availability of affordable units\, thereby preventing many families from finding stable housing. Permitting rent stabilization would protect tenants from sudden steep rent hikes and maintain more equitable access to housing. \n\n\n\nIn 1994\, a ballot initiative narrowly passed\, discontinuing rent control statewide. Despite ballooning rents and shortages\, our legislature has refused to restore measures to protect tenants. If proponents collect enough signatures\, the 2026 MA ballot will include a rent stabilization initiative to limit rent increases to a maximum of 5% per year\, support small landlords by exempting owner-occupied buildings with four or fewer units and encourage continued housing production with 10-year exemptions for new construction. PDM supports the ballot initiative and is hosting this forum to discuss how it would help. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for zoom link and recording\n\n\n\n\nOur panelists\, Mark Martinez\, a Housing Attorney at the Massachusetts Law Reform  Institute (MLRI)\, and Carolyn Chou\, Director of Homes for All Massachusetts\, will explain the importance of rent stabilization and how you can help get the question  on the ballot. Cathleen Cavell will moderate.
