On the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773), we will be meeting on the Congress Street Bridge near the Boston Tea Party Museum to dump ice cubes into the Fort Point Channel in bulk. You can either buy bags of ice or make your own at home and bring them with you in a container. The goal is make as big of a splash as possible with the most easily accessible ingredients that everyone can bring. We will be protesting the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) by dumping ice cubes into the same harbor that tea was dumped over 250 years ago. This will be a peaceful act of non-violence.
This will be a mostly symbolic event. As such, the more people who participate the better so share this link with as many people as possible (ideally 342 to represent the original crates of tea but we might not get that many signups). Ice cubes can be easily found and made at home so there’s no excuse not to bring any (if you want to participate then you will have to bring more than one tray of ice cubes from your freezer). Everyone should have a container of some kind at home that they can bring: igloo coolers, small trash cans, Gatorade buckets, plastic grocery bags, etc. Again, we want to make a big splash so there’s more people who participate the better. If you want to get creative and freeze food dye or overpriced tea/juice from the grocery store then that’s fine but just make sure that it is biodegradable (no chemicals or popsicle sticks).
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.
