“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.”
Schedule
11:00-11:30, Welcome chat; orientation for new folks; sign-making for those who need them
11:30-12:30, Stand (or sit) with signs
12:30-1:00, Short walk along the sidewalk on District Ave
The 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.
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:
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.

The League of Women Voters of Massachusetts, (LWVMA) and Who Governs the Governor’s Council (WGGC) cordially invite you to a legislator and community briefing: Who Governs the Governor’s Council? on Thursday, March 19 at 11:00 AM in the Senate Reading Room at the State House.
This event launches Who Governs the Governor’s Council (WGGC), an organization dedicated to educating voters on the Governor’s Council, what it is and does, why it is important, as well as how we can all play our part in this critical but little known and long-standing part of government. As you know, the Governor’s Council, an elected body that exists in only two states, approves nominees to the Judiciary – the branch of government that ensures our rights, enforces our laws – and approves Parole Board nominees. WGGC encourages the electorate to learn about the role of the eight elected members who determine the hundreds of judges appointed to the bench.
We will also highlight the importance of passage of S.497/H.805, An Act clarifying the role of Governor’s Councillor on the ballot, sponsored by Senator Barrett and Representatives Cataldo and Gentile.
Confirmed speakers include:
Join us on Thursday, March 19 at 11:00 AM in the Senate Reading Room, to learn the importance of the Governor’s Council and how you can get involved.

Recently, in a stunning victory against Trump, the Supreme Court struck down his illegal tariffs. The victory was even sweeter as the lead plaintiff in the court case, Learning Resources, was a small family business selling educational toys. The company’s motivation, according to the family, was not political but to protect their employees, who were suffering financially from the tariffs.
Learning Resources argued successfully before the Supreme Court that tariffs are a form of taxation without representation. The court agreed with many of the company’s arguments that tariffs implemented under IEEPA are illegal. With its ruling, the court finally acknowledged the key role of Congress in making laws, as well as the primary importance of the Constitution. So it was a decisive win for democracy.
Learning Resources’ website is https://www.learningresources.com, and their educational toys are widely carried by major retailers. As the opposite of boycotting, please demonstrate your consumer power and buy from small companies like Learning Resources who fight to make a difference.
March 7 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm EST
Daily headlines can be overwhelming, leading to doom scrolling and depression. If you’ve been looking for a method to feel less isolated and helpless, and you’d like to connect with a greater cause through community. Start here with us by grabbing a beer and having a conversation about these troubling times we live in.
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.
