This presentation will examine the recent ICE raid at the Allston Car Wash and its aftermath, connecting it to the ongoing protests at the ICE facility in Burlington and the broader fight for immigrant justice. Following a 10-minute slide overview of the Car Wash incident, we’ll hear from someone, who distributes aid at the Burlington facility five days a week and will share what she witnesses there firsthand. Together, these voices put a human face on what “enforcement” really means for our neighbors and communities.
This will be followed by an update from de-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition after their second National Day of Action taking place 6/6.
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.
Let’s strengthen community across Indivisible LAB and meet together with members, allies, and newcomers in Bedford!
We’ll make signs for people to display at De-ICE Citizens Bank National Day of Action on June 6.
We’ll also share updates on actions that address state and national events…including planning for upcoming elections, coordinating to protect and help our neighbors, practicing innovative activism, and more.
Our following meeting will be at Robbins Library on Thursday, June 25th. This is our regular location, and we’ll seek to resume our regular schedule of meeting on alternating Thursdays.

HANDS OFF BEVERLY has been holding weekly peaceful protests since February 17, 2025. On Saturdays we are typically between 130 and 400 people. On the big national days of protest (NO KINGS) we are in the thousands. We have signs and cowbells to borrow, bubbles and the best music by our tireless DJ Jim. We have a permit from the Beverly Police Department and marshals to assist people and answer questions. The best part of our protests are the people. You will have never met so many kind and wonderful folks who over the many months standing out in rain, cold, snow and heat have become a close knit family committed to not standing by in the face of the insanity and cruelty of the current administration. If you are peaceful you are welcome. Come and join the group with the best vibe on the North Shore!

Sarah Trone Garriott (IA 03) is challenging a two-term incumbent, Zach Nun, who won by 4% in ’24. Her race is also rated a toss-up. Sarah is a minister, a mom, a nonprofit leader, and an Iowa state senator who flipped two seats from red to blue, then won a district that went to Trump in ‘24. She still preaches on the weekends. Cook Political has rated this seat a toss-up.
Sarah is endorsed by Force Multiplier, Activate America and Swing Left
Primary is August 4. JoAnna Mendoza (AZ 06) is challenging a two-term incumbent, Juan Ciscomani, who won by only 2.5% in ’24 in a district that Trump carried by a narrow 1-point margin. The race is rated a toss-up. Over JoAnna’s 20-years of military service in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, she deployed twice to Iraq, once to Afghanistan, and had the privilege of training the next generation of Marines as a Drill Instructor.
JoAnna is endorsed by Force Multiplier, Activate America and Swing Left.

From Robert Hubbell “Trump dealt a serious blow to the GOP hopes of holding the Senate by helping toxic Ken Paxton defeat incumbent John Cornyn in Texas. Cornyn’s defeat creates an opportunity for James Talarico to be the first Democrat to win a statewide office in Texas since 1994. To be clear, any Democrat running for statewide office in Texas must be viewed as the underdog, but the 2026 midterms present a unique combination of a historically weak president, a corrupt Republican candidate, and a generational talent in James Talarico.” (May 28) Cook Political has moved this seat from Likely R to Lean R.
James is an eighth-generation Texan, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian. As a state representative, he’s led the fight against the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians who have taken over Texas.
This briefing is for progressive movement organization leaders, grassroots organizers, local, state or national campaign groups, and funders. Organizers with youth civil rights organization Get Free and activists with 50501, one of the core groups behind the No Kings mobilizations, have announced a national day of action called All of U.S. 250. Before the 250th Anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence and days after expected Supreme Court rulings on birthright citizenship and the Voting Rights Act, Americans across the country will march and rally to repair our full history rather than erase it, celebrate the progress we have made through struggle, and commit to the work to ensure liberty and equality for All of U.S. America is at an unprecedented crossroads. At a time when our country should be coming together to celebrate all that we are, how far we’ve come, and commit to finishing the work to make America a place where freedom and equality are truly for all, a white supremacist faction is pushing our country in the opposite direction. The MAGA regime is in the midst of trying to whitewash our past so they can whitewash our future. We can see this in their attempts to not just erase the history of enslavement and genocide, but roll back hard-won civil rights victories. We refuse to comply. While they plan a whitewashed celebration of the 250th, we’re inviting Americans of all stripes on June 27th to provide an affirmative, positive counternarrative and demand equality over erasure. Anyone can sign up to host or join an event near them on our website
