We are gathering at the Burlington ICE Detention Center located at 1000 District Ave in Burlington, MA to protest, bear witness, and support immigrants. The event will include music, a guest speaker, and a time for community members to share their personal stories and reasons for showing up. Bring your revolutionary spirit and show immigrants we support them!!
You can support immigrants by bringing non-perishable food items which are distributed to families on site.
Carpooling & Transportation
You will be provided with information about parking and public transportation options upon registration. There is no public parking within a half mile of the facility. Cars parked on District Mall road and adjoining parking lots have been towed if they suspect you are a protestor. Go to https://fixice.org/patriotsrally for more details on parking and more.
Conditions Inside
On a quiet side street right behind the Burlington Mall, immigrants are placed together in cells inside a featureless office building with no sign out front. Originally an administrative building, people are now detained here, sometimes for days, and sleep on a cold floor under Mylar blankets. There is one toilet per cell, under the watchful eye of a camera. There are no showers, no handwashing sinks in the cells, no windows, no soap, no food service facility, no menstrual products for women, no outdoor time, and no visitors.
Join IMC on Tuesday, April 28, at 7 PM for a discussion on the MA ballot questions with guest speakers Jonathan Cohn from Progressive Mass and John Lippitt from IMC’s Legislative Reform Action Team.
RSVP and submit your question to be part of the lively, interesting and informative dialogue!
Join us for a peaceful standout each Wednesday and Saturday calling on Citizens Bank to stop financing private prison corporations that build and operate ICE detention centers, where immigrants are held in abusive and inhumane conditions.
We will have leaflets to share with customers and passersby. Participants are encouraged to bring signs demanding that Citizens Bank stop funding ICE prisons.
This is an easy, accessible action—come and help build community pressure Citizens for change.
Join local Singing Resistance leaders to sing songs of resistance and change at the Burlington ICE Facility 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.
We’ll gather to:
Show visible, public opposition to ICE detention expansion and the criminalization of immigration
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. This facility has a dedicated group of pro-ICE activists and the best reaction to them is no reaction, ignoring them completely. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

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.
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.

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.
The goal of Brockton Singing Resistance is to get other people singing to bring energy and unity to protests and other events. Outdoor singing is challenging, so we prioritize enthusiasm and loudness over vocal skill — no music experience necessary. We succeed not by pleasing listeners, but by getting others to sing!
We will sing first at Brockton Indivisible’s “Communities Not Cages” protest on Saturday, April 25, 1 – 2:30 PM. We may also sing at a May Day event outside of Brockton, which we can decide at our meeting.
THE (BROCKTON) VENUE FOR OUR MEETING WILL BE DETERMINED WHEN WE KNOW HOW MANY WILL COME. IF YOU REGISTER WITH YOUR CELL NUMBER, NEWS OF THE VENUE WILL BE SENT BY TEXT AS WELL AS EMAIL.
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 meeting!
