Origami in Action : Birds of Peace & Compassion

January 6 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EST

Join us as we continue to learn the basics of origami, and explore various types of birds. We will discuss using our newly learned in skills in creating origami as a protest art. You are welcome to come, relax, and join us in simply creating origami.

Or, you have the option to join us in the following action….

We hope to create as many origami birds as possible. Long considered a symbol of peace and hope, we plan to come together and deliver them to the nearest ice detention center on President’s Day, February 16, 2026.

Perhaps we’ll gather them in a garland to hang on a fence or from a tree. It won’t matter if there is one bird or an entire flock—the symbolism is the same: In these times of chaos and lack of empathy, where hatred is made acceptable, we will stand together for peace. We will stand for the love of one another. We will recognize the inherent worth of all of us, no matter from where we come. We will reaffirm that all people deserve to be treated with respect, justice, equity and compassion.

We welcome you to join us.

RSVP for exact address

Reverse Tea Party Virtual Food Drive at Lexington Reenactment of Tea Burning

December 13, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 2:30 pm EST

 Lexington Alarm! is sponsoring a “Reverse Tea Party” to symbolically “refill the chests” left empty by the Tea Party, timed to coincide with the Lexington Tea Burning Reenactment. 

Stop by their table in Depot Square or use the links below to donate money directly to these organizations: 

Minuteman senior services to support their Meals on Wheels program
Lexington Food Pantry
Food Link

On December 13, 1773, three days before the Boston Tea Party, the Lexington Town Meeting concluded a multi-day debate with a resolution to stop purchasing or drinking imported British tea. The crowd spilled out onto the common behind the meeting house and made a bonfire, throwing the entire town’s supply of tea into it.

Each year, we reenact this occasion with a day of tea history! Join us for fun, interactive activities to learn more about why tea was so important to the Revolution. Meet with the Lexington residents of 1773 to hear their side of the story, find out where tea comes from, and end the day by gathering around the fire and burning the tea!

Stop by for all the festivities:

  • Buckman Tavern will be open 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, with holiday decorations. Admission will be “pay what you can!”
  • From 12:00 – 3:00 PM, learn more about the history of tea, and its alternatives during the Revolution, with drop-in activities with Lexington History Museums and the Chinese-American Association of Lexington.
  • At 12:00 PM, join local children’s book author Sabrina Bhattacharjya for a reading and signing of her new book, The Midnight Writer, sharing the story of the Battle of Lexington from the perspective of a young girl of the time.
  • From 12:00 – 1:00, meet with the Lexington Minute Men and learn more about the town’s role in the coming Revolution as the fire begins to grow in front of the Visitors Center.
  • At 1:00 PM, join us to burn the tea! We will open with a performance by the William Diamond Jr Fife and Drum Corps, and will be throwing real tea in the fire, generously donated by Mark T. Wendell Tea Company of Acton.
  • At 2:00 PM, warm up in the tavern with a special performance by the Lexington History Museums Singers to go along with your tea and historical hot chocolate!

Swing Blue Alliance- Frontline Update

Virtual Event

December 13, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 10:30 am EST

Join us for our monthly 30-minute Frontline Update

Sign up for Link

At the next Frontline Update, help root out the bad actors! Swing Blue Alliance is shining a light on Scam PACs flooding inboxes and phones with misleading fundraising appeals.


These deceptive solicitations mislead donors, distort the grassroots landscape, and often spend most of the money they raise on fundraising expenses rather than on real electoral work. But there are ways we can fight back and protect our movement.

Ways to Be a Scambuster:

  • Report misleading solicitations to Act Blue. Act Blue has recently adopted new policies to help prevent fundraising spam and scam operations from using their platform. You can report questionable fundraising appeals to Act Blue using this How-to-Doc.
  • Forward your spam text screenshots to the phone number 7726. That lets your phone service provider know that the text you are sending was spam.
  • Volunteer to do research on Scam PACs. There’s a lot of data about most PACs on websites of the FEC and OpenSecrets.org. Volunteers identify Scam PACs and document their misdeeds. To get started, email info@swingbluealliance.org 

Join us to break down the Scam PAC crisis, share what our researchers are uncovering, and show you how to help clean up the donation ecosystem while making sure you are donating as effectively as you can.

Stay afterward for Q&A and discussions.

Get ICE out of Home Depot -Natick

December 6, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST

All over the country, ICE agents are targeting immigrants in and around Home Depot, and these atrocities are happening on Home Depot’s watch, on its properties, with its silence.

The Home Depot has not publicly resisted or condemned these raids or demanded that the Administration stop assaulting and abducting people on and outside its properties. With its silence and inaction, Home Depot has become ICE’s passive partner.

In order to show up for immigrant community members and defeat authoritarianism, we must engage in the dual strategy of electing people who will stand up to Trump, and engaging in noncooperation (also known as civil resistance). Movements with no civil resistance actions, stopping democratic backsliding only happens 7.5% of the time. With a civil resistance added to the movement, that percentage goes up to 51.7%!

In addition to this, we need to run civil resistance campaigns that hit the power holders where it hurts! When we do symbolic actions like one day protests and vigils, which are useful in their own way, power holders can easily ignore them. When we engage in actions that cost money like a boycott, cost elected leaders their seats, or stop business as usual, they are far more likely to respond. So we engage in noncooperation because we must impose real and tangible costs to powerholders’ bottom-lines!

Suggested signs:

ICE out of Home Depot
We Ain’t Buying it – stand with immigrant neighbors!
If you work with ICE, we freeze our spending

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.
