Patriots Standing Up for Democracy
2026-05-24 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Barre Town Common, MA-122, Barre, Massachusetts, 01005
This a local Indivisible event!

We have our peaceful Stand Outs weekly. Every Sunday from noon to 1:30pm we line the street around our Common and hold signs that are relevant to fighting for our Democracy. We sing songs and we do chants, we are unified in our love for our country and we know it is important for us to stand up and be seen, be heard and be with other Patriots that care about our country. We have copies of the Constitution and flags along with signs that can be used. We welcome all to stand tall with us. We also collect food and funds for our town’s Food Pantry. We are in this together and helping our community in this small way is an act of empathy, understanding and kindness that we encourage.

A Day of Creative Resistance

Join us for a powerful day of creative resistance! We are deeply inspired by the history of Project Tsuru—a movement of Japanese-American WWII detainment camp survivors and allies who have left origami cranes at ICE facilities nationwide to protest family separation and human rights abuses.

Come stand with us as we bring this powerful tradition of solidarity and justice to our community.

🎒 Mutual Aid Drive: We will be actively collecting food donations during the event to directly support individuals and families immediately upon their release from the facility. Please bring shelf-stable staples like pasta, peanut butter, canned tuna, tomato sauce, white or brown rice, canned black or pinto beans, and rolled oatmeal to contribute.

What to Expect:

Creative Protest: A striking visual display of 1,000+ handmade origami cranes.

Speakers & Education: Learn about the history of Project Tsuru, the critical importance of local advocacy, and utilizing art as a tool for social change.

Community: Featuring guest speakers, live music, and collective action.

📬 How to participate: No prior origami experience is necessary! All materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own folded cranes if you’ve been crafting at home. Bring food donations as described above.

Bear Witness- Protest and Food Drive Wednesdays at ICE
2026-05-27 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.

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.

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!
