At Barrow Bookstore, it’s the last day of the “Reverse Boston Tea Party.” Enjoy a cup of East India Company Tea, the same brand the colonists threw overboard in their protest at Boston Harbor in 1773. In the chest at the door of Barrow Bookstore place your donations of packaged tea, ground and instant coffee, and related sundries like sugar, powdered creamers, honey, etc. for Open Table to distribute to neighbors in need.

De-ICE Hanscom Friday Standouts

December 5, 2025 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm EST

1:30 – 2:30 Shortened duration this week due to temperature forecast. This weekly afternoon standout is usually on Fridays at the Hanscom Rotary (intersection of Hanscom Dr. and Old Bedford Rd. in Lincoln, MA.) Please park along Old Bedford Road or Hanscom Drive without impeding traffic or blocking bike lanes.

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.

Justice 4 All Thursdays

December 4, 2025 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm EST

Greater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN) invites you to stand in solidarity with immigrants and resistance to ICE and their cruel and lawless detention of our neighbors Thursdays from 11am-1pm, starting September 4. Regardless of any other political views, you are welcome to join us and demand Justice 4 All so long as you do so non-violently.

Our friends at Bearing Witness have been hosting gatherings at this location for many weeks. We are an unaffiliated group, but very much aligned with their values and mission. Our goal is to add to the total number of hours that citizens stand in non-violent opposition to the deplorable detainment conditions at this location. If you have been to Bearing Witness on Wednesdays, we would love to have you at Justice 4 All Thursdays.

Schedule

11:00-11:30 Welcome; music; announcements
11:30-12:30 Stand with signs along District Ave
12:30-1:00 Optional short march down to Mall Rd.

Weather

All attendees are ultimately responsible for making their own decisions about travel. The organizers are going to use the following guidelines to modify or cancel events in advance. A sudden change in conditions just before or during events, such as a tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning, could happen and organizers will do their best to communicate any decisions appropriately.

No change to event:
Normal to heavy Rain
Windy, but no warnings
Light snow on ground, but not falling

Burlington schools cancelled
Temp/Wind Chill < 20F
Storm advisory with snow or high wind predicted
Freezing rain falling or predicted

What happens at this ICE office?

ICE personnel depart from District Ave. in unmarked vans with tinted windows on missions to abduct immigrants across New England. Immigrants may also show up at the office for appointments. The facility on District Ave was never intended to be a detention center, yet immigration lawyers and media interviews reveal that people are now being housed here in conditions that have been called “abysmal” and “unsanitary.”

What to expect at Justice 4 All?

We are committed to nonviolence, and we stand peacefully with signs outside the facility. We do not block the entrance, we do not physically approach ICE agents as they walk to/from the parking lot, and we do not block traffic on District Ave.

Signs

This is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility, so it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues, while outside ICE we must remain focused on immigration.

Parking and other tips

For parking, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road, follow signs for Macy’s, see map). For those with mobility challenges, please keep in mind that the lots closest to ICE — the FAA lot beside ICE and the BAE Systems lot directly across the street from ICE — have both been blocked off. There are restaurants nearby (Clover, Pressed Cafe, Chipotle) to get food and use the bathroom. Before arriving, please consider your own self-preservation (citizenship status) and self-care (sunscreen, hydration, etc.).

If you would like to receive updates on Justice4All Thursdays and reminders of our events, please add your email below to join our list. We’re excited to reinforce the work of our friends at Bearing Witness and to support our immigrant neighbors. We hope that you will join us.

See you in Burlington!

Charitable Giving: Consider the Gift of Democracy

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has traditionally been the start of giving season. Many people make charitable donations this time of year, for benevolence and an added benefit of tax deductions. The good news: many non-profits have two entities, one tax-deductible and one not. Both types of funds do the essential work that shores up our democracy. Read about the different actions these types of donations will support.

Support Legal Actions to Protect Democracy

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): You can give directly to the ACLU or you can make a tax deductible donation to the ACLU Foundation. If you do not need a tax deduction, please give to the direct fund, for the most flexible use of your money. Some fun items in their shop too!

Democracy Forward: A national legal organization that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, policy and public education, and regulatory engagement. Donations are tax deductible. You can also buy gifts at their store.

Lawyers Defending American Democracy: Unites members of the legal profession in enforcing and upholding principles of democracy and law, demanding accountability from lawyers and public officials, and calling out attacks on legal norms and prescribing redress. Donations are tax-deductible. They also have great webinars and a community discussion guide to Ken’s Burn’s American Revolution Documentary.

Public Citizen: A nonprofit consumer advocacy organization that champions the public interest in the halls of power. They defend democracy, resist corporate power, and fight to ensure that government works for the people – not big corporations. You can choose to donate directly or to their tax-deductible foundation.

Support Organizations Helping Immigrants

BIJAN/”Beyond“: A network of volunteers in eastern MA that supports people in immigration detention in New England. They are closely affiliated with LUCE. They also host the Beyond Bond and Legal Defense Fund (BBLDF) that pays immigration bonds for people with a connection to MA. Donations to the Bond Fund are tax-deductible.

LUCE: Immigrant Justice Network: Neighbor to Neighbor MA Education Fund, a 501c3, is collecting contributions to the LUCE hotline on behalf of the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of MA. All contributions will be used to support the LUCE hotline and other LUCE initiatives. You will receive a tax receipt from Neighbor to Neighbor MA Education Fund. Support the LUCE hotline and network.

Massachusetts Access to Counsel Initiative (MACI): A joint effort between MIRA Coalition, CPCS, and a statewide network of legal organizations. Together, we’re building a centralized intake and referral system for individuals in Massachusetts facing Immigration Court proceedings. Through a single intake line, detained and non-detained individuals from Massachusetts will be able to request help and be connected with an available legal service provider for potential representation. Donate to support their work.

Defending Our Neighbors Fund: A nationwide initiative hosted by the United We Dream Network, the ACLU, and the Abundant Futures Fund. It is a historic, national effort to make sure our immigrant neighbors have fair access to legal representation. The Defending Our Neighbors Fund moves quickly to meet the needs of immigrant families. They make grants to trusted legal service providers and, when possible, community bond funds nationwide. These organizations work near detention centers, in areas where lawyers are scarce, and in communities with large immigrant populations. Donations are made through the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and are tax-deductible. Donate

Support Public Media

GBH or WBUR: Trump removed all Federal funding for PBS and public media stations. Now, more than ever, we need accessible, truthful media. Your donation helps shape the future of public media. GBH and WBUR are independent news organizations with an unyielding promise: to speak to your head, your heart and your humanity. Your contribution today makes you a partner in keeping our community informed with vital, thoughtful and trustworthy reporting. Bonus: You get Passport to watch programs on demand! Your donations to GBH and WBUR are tax-deductible.
