Postcard Get-Together
2026-04-12 14:30 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Roasted Granola Cafe, 1346 Mass Ave, Arlington, Massachusetts
Write for Democracy!

Writing postcards is an easy way to reach voters, legislators, and others with pro-democracy messages.

Last week’s postcard party hosted by an Indivisible LAB member to write postcards to re-elect civil rights warrior North Carolina State Senator Lisa Grafstein was a big hit, so she’s hosting another one next week!

The state legislature in NC is on the knife’s edge to keep away a Republican super-majority that continuously proposes terrible bills and then overrides the governor’s veto.

Postcard packets that include 10 postcards, addresses, and stamps will be available for $10 each. Drinks and baked goods can be purchased from The Roasted Granola Cafe. Sign up HERE.

Where: Burlington, MA: From 11–12 we hold signs on a busy street to communicate our message publicly, and from 12–1 we gather outside the ICE office for a more informal time of signs, speaking out, connection, and visible solidarity with immigrants while making our presence known to ICE.What to bring: A sign!Meeting point: Corner of Burlington Mall Road and District Ave, closest to Pressed Cafe.After: Optionally join us for lunch at Pressed Cafe.

Parking near 1000 District Ave, Burlington

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.

Brockton Singing Resistance organizing meeting
2026-04-13 19:00 - 19:30
Minneapolis showed us the power of Singing Resistance, catalyzing the formation of groups all around the country. A few of us in Brockton brought increased energy and joy to NO KINGS Brockton, and we want to continue singing at protests.

Get Zoom Link

Brockton Singing Resistance is planned not to be a choir, but instead to get other people singing and adding energy to protests and other events. Outdoor singing is challenging, so we prioritize enthusiasm and loudness over vocal skill — and no music experience necessary. If we succeed it is not by pleasing listeners, but by getting others to sing!

It’s practically impossible to sing live at this (very short!) Zoom meeting, but we CAN Zoom to see how many are interested in an ongoing Brockton Singing Resistance, and decide when to meet in person, and decide what comes next!

In the meantime, here are two YouTube playlists. The first contains a variety of music that livened up NO KINGS Brockton, while the second is the songs we sang when we gathered for that purpose — these are simple and repetitive so people can learn them on the fly. See how you like them! Bring a playlist or song ideas of your own to share at the Zoom!

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.

Noncooperation Training 101
2026-04-13 19:00 - 21:00

Postcard Party
2026-04-14 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.

Bear Witness- Protest and Food Drive Wednesdays at ICE
2026-04-15 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.

Block by Block Training & Action Series | Virtual Training by SURJ
2026-04-15 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.

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

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!
