Make Your State House Fight For You: A Climate and Transparency Webinar

Community Event

Thursday, February 5, 2026 5:30 PM –  6:30 PM ET

How do we know if our legislators are climate champions or villains? What does Act On Mass’s ongoing fight for State House transparency have to do with our climate movement for a just, sustainable world?

Join Act On Mass, Sierra Club MA, and 350 Mass for a webinar and community conversation on Thursday, 2/5 from 5:30-6:30. We’ll discuss our recent transparency wins, how they helped in the fight against the Climate Rollback Bill and to Make Polluters Pay, and where we need to go from here. No prior legislative knowledge necessary!

Interactions

  • 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 satisfied smile or laugh, they rarely say anything.
  • The security officers stationed at the front of the building have not hassled us.
  • Passersby from nearby businesses often thank us for being there, and many have shared that they never knew this was an ICE facility.

Parking for District Ave Protests

There is parking at busineses and on the street, but there are risks. See information about where parking is officially allowed and the risk of being towed in the District Ave Area on the What to Expect page of the Bearing Witness page. Note that no one has been towed since Jared and Laurie started protesting in April 2025. In order to be legally towned, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266, Section 120D specifies that in order for towing to occur you need to be warned by a sign or a person that parking is restricted. In addition, the owner of the property must get permission from the chief of police or designee and provide certain information.

De-ICE Hanscom Friday Standouts

Shoveling 1:00-1:30 – standout 1:30-3:00; Carpool From Concord Visitor Center|

Just like Bearing Witness in Burlington, we will have a shovel brigade to clear out some of the area where we usually stand. Bring a shovel.

We will need to clear some space to stand, so bring your shovels!

Although there have been a few sunny, relatively warm days, there is still little available parking – and our site remains under snow.Only 3 or 4  cars can park on Hanscom Dr. There is no available parking on Old Bedford Rd.We’ll  create a shuttle system from Concord Center – Meet at the parking lot by the  Concord visitor center (map below) at 1:00.  We currently have 4 drivers.  People who can provide rides for others can make a few trips and then park on Hanscom Drive.Or have someone drop you off at the rotary and pick you up at 3:00Bring your shovels and we will clear space for us to stand.  Wear good boots and gloves!Map of visitor’s center location 

De-ICE Hanscom is a coalition organizing peaceful standouts with the goal of eliminating ICE transport flights from Hanscom Field. ICE is using these flights to swiftly move immigrants out of New England in order to hinder effective legal representation. 

Coalition groups include Boston Workers Circle, Concord Indivisible, Greater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN), Indivisible Acton Area, Jewish Alliance for Law & Social Action (JALSA), Lexington Alarm, and Maynard Indivisible.

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.

Brookline Rally for Democracy, April 2026

April 4 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm EDT

Join members of three Brookline pro-democracy groups — indivisible Activist Evenings, Brookline Pax, and Speak Out, Seniors! — for our weekly rally at Coolidge Corner at 1:00 PM.

We gather to raise our voices and our signs in defense of democracy, justice, and decency — and to stand united against the abuses of the Trump administration and the forces that threaten our rights and freedoms.

We stand for:

• Immigrant rights, human rights, and racial justice

• Free speech, the Constitution, and the rule of law

• Access to health and healthcare for all

• Protection of our planet and the future we leave to the next generation

We choose empathy over cruelty, peace over violence, and hope over fear.

Our rallies are peaceful, spirited, and uplifting — a chance to connect, recharge, and stand up for what matters. Bring your friends, your voice, and your sign (or borrow one of ours!).

All are welcome!  The rally is multi-generational and family-friendly; those using walkers or other mobility devices may use them to sit to participate.

In the event of inclement weather, we’ll each use our best judgment about whether to attend. We hope you’ll do the same! 

Please join us, one rally at a time.  We’ll continue for as long as it takes.
