Communities Not Cages: National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention -- Roslindale
2026-04-25 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Citizens Bank – Boston, 777 South St, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131
Join us outside as part of a nationwide day of action to oppose the Trump administration’s expansion of ICE warehouse detention and its attack on the due process rights of immigrants and all Americans.

The Department of Homeland Security is moving to lock thousands of people in massive detention warehouses — disappearing them from their families, their lawyers, and their communities. We’re taking to the streets to make clear that stands for dignity, justice, and the rule of law.

RSVP for updates

We’ll gather to:

Show visible, public opposition to ICE detention expansion and the criminalization of immigration

Show visible, public opposition to corporations that enable and profit from ICE prisons, including Citizens Bank

Stand in solidarity with detained immigrants and the communities fighting to protect them

Demand that our elected officials defend due process for everyone

Bring a sign. Bring your neighbors. Bring your voice.

This action is part of the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action organized by the Disappeared In America campaign and partners including Detention Watch Network, Indivisible, Public Citizen, The Workers Circle, MoveOn and many others.

A core principle behind all Disappeared In America 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.

We stand for:

• Immigrant rights, human rights, and racial justice

• Free speech, the Constitution, and the rule of law

• Access to health and healthcare for all

• Protection of our planet and the future we leave to the next generation

We choose empathy over cruelty, peace over violence, and hope over fear.

All are welcome! The rally is multi-generational and family-friendly; those using walkers or other mobility devices may use them to sit to participate.

In the event of inclement weather, we’ll each use our best judgment about whether to attend. We hope you’ll do the same!

Please join us, one rally at a time. We’ll continue for as long as it takes.

Communities Not Cages -- Brockton standout
2026-04-25 13:00 - 14:30 | Brockton Private Address, Brockton, Massachusetts
Reporting shows that DHS/ICE are actively scouting, purchasing, and planning to convert approximately 23 warehouses nationwide into new immigration detention and processing facilities. These sites are expected to detain between 1,500 and 10,000 people each, signaling a massive expansion of detention capacity and the normalization of large-scale confinement in facilities built for storing things, not imprisoning people.

Some of the people confined in these warehouses might be our neighbors from here in Brockton.

Local action has already forced the cancellation of some of the proposed facilities. Further action is possible.

Although no new facilities have appeared in Massachusetts so far, ICE is already holding people at their Burlington office and at the Plymouth County House of Corrections.

RSVP for exact location

Detention Watch Network is spearheading a National Day of Action on April 25. Come to a Communities Not Cages standout hosted by Brockton Indivisible! Bring flags to wave, and signs showing solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, and efforts to force the federal government to treat detained people humanely.

ICE Jail

For a deep look at what happens inside ICE detention, visit the full resource at https://bearingwitnessne.org/inside-ice

Interactions

Immigrants who are fortunate to leave the facility have shown gratitude for our presence and some share their stories with us.

ICE agents tend to cover their faces with masks, many record us with their phones, others give a satisfied smile or laugh, they rarely say anything.

The security officers stationed at the front of the building have not hassled us.

Passersby from nearby businesses often thank us for being there, and many have shared that they never knew this was an ICE facility.

Parking for District Ave Protests

There is parking at busineses and on the street, but there are risks. See information about where parking is officially allowed and the risk of being towed in the District Ave Area on the What to Expect page of the Bearing Witness page. Note that no one has been towed since Jared and Laurie started protesting in April 2025. In order to be legally towned, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266, Section 120D specifies that in order for towing to occur you need to be warned by a sign or a person that parking is restricted. In addition, the owner of the property must get permission from the chief of police or designee and provide certain information.

Bear Witness- Protest and Food Drive Wednesdays at ICE
2026-04-29 11:00 - 13:00 | Burlington ICE Enforcement & Removal Operations Office, 1000 District Avenue, Burlington, MA, 01803
Updated with New Carpool and Parking Information!

BEARING WITNESS STANDOUT SCHEDULE AND GUIDELINES

Above all, we are committed to nonviolence.

The standout takes place every Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

From 11 am to noon, Bearing Witness organizers and special guest speakers address those gathered and discuss a variety of immigration-related topics.

From 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.

From 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.

We ALWAYS stand peacefully with signs outside the ICE facility.

We ALWAYS hold signs with supportive messages about immigrants and/or against ICE. We do not focus on other issues.

We do not block the entrance, approach ICE agents, or block traffic on District Avenue.

We DO NOT stand in restricted areas as designated by Burlington police.

We IGNORE and do not engage with “counter protestors,” those who are supporters of ICE.

INTERACTIONS WITH DETAINEES AND ICE OFFICIALS

Immigrants who are fortunate to leave the facility have shown gratitude for our presence and some share their stories with us.

ICE 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.

The security officers stationed at the front of the building have not bothered us to date.

More Info & Email Updates

BEARING WITNESS CARPOOL SERVICE

We 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

OTHER PARKING OPTIONS

Other 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.

Parking is no longer allowed at the AMC Burlington lot.

The 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.

If 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.

SIGNS FOR THE STANDOUT

Due 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).

Instead, 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.

If 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.

Need help or ideas for making a sign? Follow these tips!

Bearing 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

We are becoming both an oligarchy and a kleptocracy. Billionaires and corporate interests have been amassing more power. Our wealth gap has been growing on the backs of workers while our services have been dwindling. We need to stand up with a common voice to tell our government that they represent the people, not corporations.

Together we demand:

1) Billionaires pay their fair share of taxes so that our communities come first

2) Funds be used to protect and strengthen Medicare, Social Security, and other public programs we rely on, not to subsidize corporations and give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy

3) Health care, public schools, and affordable housing be fully funded and accessible

4) Elections represent the will of the people rather than corporate interests and the wealthy few.

5) The protection of immigrants, those with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, communities of color, and Native communities against bigoted, discriminatory, and dangerous policies.

6) Workers earn a living wage. (Did you know in MA farm workers have a min. wage of only $8 per hour?!)

RSVP for updates

Come join us at Veterans Memorial Park from 4:30-5:30pm in Maynard #WorkersOverBillionaires

A 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.

May Day - Boston
2026-05-01 16:30 - 18:30 | MA
The next major national action isn’t another protest – it’s flexing our collective economic and non-cooperation muscle. Earlier this year, Minnesota residents organized a Day of Truth and Action, where teachers, faith leaders, workers, students, and business leaders refused work, school, and shopping on a single Friday in January to send a powerful message of resistance to the actions of the Trump administration and its corporate enablers.

RSVP and and get updates

Here in MA, actions are being organized by unions and immigrant groups. The focus will be on building local power, protecting our neighbors, strengthening our capacity for noncooperation, and defending our elections from sabotage. There are already events being planned for Boston, including a rally on the Common at 4:30 PM. As more Boston actions are finalized, they will be posted HERE.
