Talk to Our Neighbors About ICE | Phone Bank with SURJ!
2026-03-01 15:00 - 18:00 | Virtual Event – Join from Anywhere
Right now is the time to intervene. To step up. To move our people.

As the Trump Administration continues to deploy violent ICE agents to our nation’s cities, we remain clear and centered on the following truths:

White working class Americans have so much to gain by standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.

Trump’s aggressive and violent deployment of ICE is causing many white working class communities to re-evaluate their views and beliefs on immigration.

Listening-forward conversations that support people to reflect on their values, feelings and experiences can shift their attitudes, perspective and behavior.

That’s why we’re channeling these truths into a powerful action that you can take with us.

Join SURJ to talk to key white working class voters about their feelings on Trump’s immigration policies and deployment of ICE in the key congressional districts that will determine control of the House in the 2026 elections.

Together, we can move the needle and build power. No prior experience needed – we’ll provide all the resources, training and support you need to phone bank with us to have these critical conversations at a critical juncture for shaping public opinion and our society’s commonsense beliefs around immigration policy

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.

Postcard Party
2026-03-03 09:00 - 11:00 | Boston Bean, 102 Main St, Maynard, Massachusetts, 01754
Send hand-written postcards to voters in states that will play a key role in taking back Congress and in electing leaders who will fight back against the current authoritarian regime. Postcards educate voters, urge them to register to vote, and urge them to vote for specific candidates in special elections, primaries, and the November 2026 mid-term elections. Hand-written postcards have been proven in multiple studies to boost turnout enough to swing elections. Each packet of 15 postcards has everything you need, and costs $10 to cover stamps and cards for those who can afford it.

RSVP for updates

It’s more fun to write together, but if you can’t stay, you can also stop by and pick up postcards to write at home.

Burma Shave Standouts - Arlington

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.

To 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.

The 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.

We 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.

Please 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.

As 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.

There 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.

A 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.

As 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.

Here are some parking options that have been suggested, while we explore a resolution with the mall or other options:

For 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.

Alternatively, 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.

You 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.

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.
