Across the country, our communities are under attack. ICE continues to tear families apart — and politicians and corporations like Target are enabling it.
Target has deep roots in Minnesota and enormous influence nationwide. By refusing ICE access and collaboration, Target could choose to stand on the right side of history. Instead, they are currently enabling harm.
This Valentine’s season, we’re asking you to show your love for your neighbors by taking action.
On Wednesday, February 11, SURJ members and partners across the country will take part in Valentine’s Day–themed, nonviolent actions at Target stores to demand that Target break up with ICE — refuse ICE access, stop collaborating, and stop enabling repression in our communities. Our goal is to create a joyful, visible, and disruptive action that calls on Target to take a clear stand against ICE.
This action is rooted in nonviolence, collective care, and solidarity — and you’ll be joining a nationwide movement pushing Target to choose people over oppression.

Join us as we welcome the Democratic candidates running for Congressional District MA-6.
After introductions and a couple of group questions, candidates will move around the room to engage in one-on-one and in small group discussions. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with the candidates, ask questions, discuss issues, and get to know each candidate better.
Celebrate Black history and leadership by examining how past organizers built resilient movements. Explore systemic power structures and inequities, and translate historical lessons into contemporary movement-building and leadership practices.

Join us as we gather in front of Fitchburg City Hall on the second Saturday of each month to support democracy and the rule of law – and to protest the policies of trump and this shambolic and cruel administration. Signs are welcome, and there are always extra signs and flags to borrow.
Ample parking is available at 166 Boulder Drive if you’re unable to find parking on Main Street.
Join our Facebook page (Indivisible Fitchburg MA) or our website (https://indivisiblefitchburgma.org) for updates and info on pop-up protests!
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.
This immigration bystander training aims to provide you with tools and strategies to safely and effectively respond when witnessing immigration enforcement. Topics covered will include how to recognize an ICE operation, clear do’s and don’ts, safe practices for offering support, and the use of community hotlines, mutual aid, and accompaniment programs.
On Tuesday, February 10, community members are invited to show up in quiet solidarity for Etel Haxhiaj and Ashley Spring as they face a jury trial in Worcester District Court.
This is not a protest. It is a coordinated, respectful courtroom presence, a visible reminder that the community is paying attention, values due process, and rejects the criminalization of people who acted to protect their neighbors.
Our goal is simple: keep the courtroom seats filled throughout the day with calm, respectful observers.
What to Expect: This is an inside-the-courtroom presence. Attendees will go through courthouse security and sit silently in Room 23. No signs, chanting, or demonstrations are permitted. Timing may shift, so we are organizing coverage in blocks.
Important Courtroom Rules: No signs, slogans, political clothing, clapping, or verbal reactions. No phones or recording of any kind inside the courthouse or courtroom. Failure to follow decorum rules may negatively impact the case
The FreeHer Campaign has held a rally at the MA State House for Valentine’s Day every year since 2022 to send love to women inside MCI-Framingham, and call for de-carceration and an end to new prison construction. This year we will hold a vigil for the grief and rage families are feeling while being torn apart by incarceration and deportation. As always, we will uplift the voices of women inside MCI-Framingham. Join us any time from 4:30 to 6:00 pm to demand the release of women, stopping the $360 million women’s prison project, getting ICE out of Massachusetts, and investing in what our communities need to thrive. We will provide candles and welcome you to bring signs. We will be outside so please dress for the weather.
Massachusetts Community Action Network (MCAN) is inviting everyone with URGENCY, CLARITY AND HOPE into the next phase of our collective advocacy.
We are showing up holding two truths at once. We acknowledge that the Governor has taken action because our communities spoke out. We’re grateful for the steps she took. At the same time, we must be clear that what has been offered is not enough to fully protect our people.
On Thursday, we are showing up to ensure elected officials understand:
We will not be confused by half measures. We will not be worn out by slow progress. We will continue to show up and fight for our communities.
Join us from 10:00–11:00 at the Paulist Center to focus on grounding, spiritual and moral alignment, and clarity about our asks and messaging. Many new people are joining this effort, and we want to create the conditions for everyone to fully understand what we are doing and why.
At 11 am we will head to the State House to the Governor’s office as well as the office’s of other elected officials.
Please read the full description of MCAN’s communications with Governor Healey on the MCAN Website
Right now is the time to intervene. To step up. To move our people.
As the Trump Administration continues to deploy violent ICE agents to our nation’s cities, we remain clear and centered on the following truths:
White working class Americans have so much to gain by standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.
Trump’s aggressive and violent deployment of ICE is causing many white working class communities to re-evaluate their views and beliefs on immigration.
Listening-forward conversations that support people to reflect on their values, feelings and experiences can shift their attitudes, perspective and behavior.
That’s why we’re channeling these truths into a powerful action that you can take with us.
Join 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.
Together, 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
