SUMMARY:Can -- And Will -- the Judiciary Save Us?
DESCRIPTION:The role of the Judiciary is to uphold the Constitution and serve as a check on the other branches of government. But under the Trump Administration\, the Supreme Court has been compromised; the Department of Justice has been weaponized; and the Constitution has been undermined. \n\n\n\nSo who can we count on to resist Trump’s unconstitutional agenda? The answer in the first year of the Trump regime has been a series of very brave and principled federal judges. They have blocked some illegal deportations; mandated the continuation of SNAP benefits; and halted an executive order restricting birthright citizenship to name a few lines of resistance. Moreover\, they have done so despite being accused of being liberal activists or out of touch with everyday Americans. And their actions have made them the targets of intimidation and subjected to death threats by MAGA extremists.  \n\n\n\nThe question now is can the Judiciary hold the line on Trump’s lawlessness during the remainder of his presidency? And\, if they don’t\, what does that mean for the Constitution? Join us for a panel discussion on the role of the Judiciary in the Trump era. We’ll look at the cases where federal judges have successfully resisted Trump’s lawlessness–and where they did not. We’ll examine how the Supreme Court has been compromised and discuss possible solutions. Most importantly\, we will discuss how much damage has already been done to the rule of law—and how we as activists can help restore our Constitution and ensure its enforcement. \n\n\n\nFeel free to submit questions along with your on-line registration or just bring your questions to the event itself. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Exact Address

In addition\, the owner of the property must get permission from the chief of police or designee and provide certain information.

SUMMARY:Postcard Party
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nIt’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.

SUMMARY:Fix ICE!
DESCRIPTION:Come join us Monday and Tuesday 11-1 to protest ICE cruelties. \n\n\n\nWhere: 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. \n\n\n\nParking near 1000 District Ave\, Burlington \n\n\n\nICE Jail\n\n\n\nFor a deep look at what happens inside ICE detention\, visit the full resource at https://bearingwitnessne.org/inside-ice \n\n\n\nInteractions\n\n\n\n\nImmigrants who are fortunate to leave the facility have shown gratitude for our presence and some share their stories with us.\n\n\n\nICE 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.\n\n\n\nThe security officers stationed at the front of the building have not hassled us.\n\n\n\nPassersby from nearby businesses often thank us for being there\, and many have shared that they never knew this was an ICE facility.\n\n\n\n\nParking for District Ave Protests\n\n\n\nThere 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.

SUMMARY:ICE Out For Good Funding Fight Phonebank
DESCRIPTION:Our communities are being terrorized by masked federal agents. They’re teargassing babies\, kidnapping our neighbors\, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles\, and killing innocent people. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link\n\n\n\n\nWe have an opportunity to rein in ICE and Border Patrol at the federal level.

SUMMARY:The Founders Saw the Dangers of Great Wealth
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dr. Daniel Mandell\, Emeritus Professor of History\, Truman State University.  Author of the “The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America\, 1600-1870.”  Dr. Mandell will examine politics\, theology\, economics\, law and literature to highlight how the founding generation of the United States feared that concentrated wealth would corrupt their republic.  Their belief in the need for a “rough equality” of property was shaped by Roman historians\, radical Protestant writers\, and Enlightenment philosophers\, and supported by the remarkable level of economic parity before the American Revolution.  In the wake of the war\, Americans generally believed that they lived in the most egalitarian country in the world\, but worried that it would be ruined by men using great wealth to gain power.  Although this tradition of economic equality would be marginalized after 1800\, it remained a significant part of American culture. \n\n\n\nReception Following the Lecture.  Free and Open to the Public.

SUMMARY:Talk to Our Neighbors About ICE | Phone Bank with SURJ!
DESCRIPTION:Right now is the time to intervene. To step up. To move our people. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the Trump Administration continues to deploy violent ICE agents to our nation’s cities\, we remain clear and centered on the following truths: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhite working class Americans have so much to gain by standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.\n\n\n\nTrump’s aggressive and violent deployment of ICE is causing many white working class communities to re-evaluate their views and beliefs on immigration.\n\n\n\nListening-forward conversations that support people to reflect on their values\, feelings and experiences can shift their attitudes\, perspective and behavior.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s why we’re channeling these truths into a powerful action that you can take with us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, 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 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Details

SUMMARY:Peoples State of the Union (LiveStream)
DESCRIPTION:At the State of the Union (SOTU)\, Republicans in Congress are once again bending the knee to Trump and hanging their constituents out to dry.

We cannot give Trump the attention he wants\, or validate his lies to the American people. We cannot treat this SOTU like business as usual. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link\n\n\n\n\nJoin MeidasTouch and MoveOn as we present the People’s State of the Union alongside elected officials\, partners\, allies and directly impacted Americans. \n\n\n\nAdditional Partners:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWin Without WarCenter for Popular DemocracyClimate PowerCommon DefenseEconomic Security Project ActionFamilies Over BillionairesFWD.usFree DCIndivisibleInterfaith AllianceOur RevolutionPeople Power UnitedProtect Our CarePublic CitizenSocial Security WorksVera ActionVoto Latino

SUMMARY:Bear Witness- Protest and Food  Drive Wednesdays at ICE
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled today\, Feb 25 because of snow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We invite you to stand in solidarity outside the ICE Enforcement & Removal Operations Office in Burlington every Wednesday from 11am-1pm. We’re grateful to those who have previously joined us at this facility\, and we hope that more will consider attending. Together\, we can show love & support for immigrants\, express our shame at ICE\, and bear witness to the cruel and unconstitutional actions of our government.”Schedule11:00-11:30\, Welcome chat; orientation for new folks; sign-making for those who need them11:30-12:30\, Stand (or sit) with signs12:30-1:00\, Short walk along the sidewalk on District AveThe ICE building in Burlington is the detention and enforcement office for New England. Immigrants must come here for appointments. The standouts are peaceful and offer support for those who must show up here. Signs expressing support for immigrants are welcome. \n\n\n\n\nMore Info & Email Updates\n\n\n\n\nAs 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. \n\n\n\nThere 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. \n\n\n\nA 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. \n\n\n\nAs 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. \n\n\n\nHere are some parking options that have been suggested\, while we explore a resolution with the mall or other options: \n\n\n\n\nFor those looking to switch to public transportation\, one option is the 350 Bus. This runs from Alewife to Burlington Mall Rd.
