We will discuss Joyce Vance’s book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable. If you’ve had a chance to read it, bring a copy along. We will also have handouts of selected passages to read and analyze.
This event is organized by a volunteer with Indivisible and is being held at a private address in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Please RSVP below for exact address.
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.
The Hill has called NC’s Senate seat the #1 most likely to flip next year, and Cook Political Report rates it a TOSS-UP. Republicans are poised to pour hundreds of millions into defeating us — and they’ve already courted RNC Chair Michael Whatley to run against Roy.
Primary is May 5th. In 2024, more than $250 million was spent against Sherrod Brown, making it the most expensive Senate race in history.
Sherrod is running for Senate again to stand up for workers and families, and to take on the corporate special interests that make it impossible for folks’ hard work to pay off. The system is rigged, and Sherrod is fighting to change that.
With corrupt special interests ready to spend whatever it takes to defeat Sherrod, he needs your critical support to fight back and win.
Primary is August 18th. Mary is running for Senate because she’s lived firsthand how government is failing Alaskans.
It’s time for a new approach. Systemic change is the only way to bring down grocery costs, save our fisheries, lower energy prices, and build new housing Alaskans can afford. Systemic change is the only way to fill our homes with abundance again.
The fight for Fish, Family, Freedom depends on fixing the rigged system in DC. Will you become a founding donor today? We can’t do it without your help.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Jon Ossoff represents Georgia in the United States Senate. Cook Political has rated this race as a toss up, so we must work to defend this seat.
Jon has established a reputation as a legislative workhorse and a relentless investigator exposing corruption and the abuse of power.
This is an urgent call for community presence. We are sharing from our friends at the NAACP Cape Cod Branch.
“We are asking those who are able to attend the upcoming bail hearing regarding Alex Greene to stand in quiet, respectful support of the District Attorney’s position to have him returned to custody until his hearing.”
This murder happened in Hyannis, but this appeal has been moved out of district, as mentioned below. We are unsure if any leadership from our group can attend, but we know there will be a representative from the NAACP Cape Cod branch in attendance.
This case involves the most serious level of alleged violence and the loss of a life. Moments like this matter. Courtrooms do not exist in isolation — they serve the community — and it is important that the Court sees that the community is present, attentive, and deeply concerned about safety, accountability, and the integrity of the justice process.
Your presence helps demonstrate that this decision carries real impact beyond the courtroom walls.
This is a show of responsible, dignified community support for due process and public safety.

Sign up to get information and updates about our weekly standouts. We’ll keep you in the loop if we need to reschedule or cancel for weather or other considerations, and apprise you of our goals and progress.
No standout in Burlington this Wednesday) Cancelled* Tomorrow’s standout (1/28/26) and special Veterans visit to Bearing Witness is CANCELLED due to snow conditions. A small group of regulars will stand out for continuity.
“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:
For those looking to switch to public transportation, one option is the 350 Bus. This runs from Alewife to Burlington Mall Rd. You can park or bike to the Alewife T stop, and the bus leaves Alewife at 10:46am and arrives at District Ave. at 11:15am.
Alternatively, you can drive to Burlington and park at Simonds Park, at Rev. Andrew’s United Church of Christ (6 Lexington St. Burlington, MA), or at Rabbi Abramson’s Temple Shalom Emeth, 16 Lexington St.,and walk to the 350 bus stop at the intersection of Cambridge St. and Bedford St. That bus leaves at 11:09am and arrives at 11:17am. If you’d like to arrive before 11:00am, there’s a bus that leaves an hour earlier at 10:09am.
