SUMMARY:ICE Scream: Art and Catharsis Action
DESCRIPTION:The impact of ICE in our community is immense. They’re trying to take not just our community members\, but our joy\, our cultural celebrations\, and the spaces for our voices. But\, Worcester won’t let them without a fight! Let’s get loud with an ICE Scream! \n\n\n\nLet’s channel our collective frustration\, build community\, and demand better. We’ll gather for an art and cathartic action. Let’s capture our messages on paper cones to post throughout the city. \n\n\n\nLet’s turn our grief into spectacle\, our rage into relief\, and our creativity into action. This is part protest\, part performance\, and part community release. Loud\, loving\, and unforgettable. \n\n\n\nLet them hear us. Let them see us. Let them melt under the pressure. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP to get all the info!\n\n\n\n\nA follow up action for Labor Day Weekend will include a readout of these messages and a collective scream outside the ICE facility in Burlington\, MA. \n\n\n\n#ICEScream #IndivisibleVoices #MeltTheSilence

SUMMARY:STOP THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the streets on Saturday August 9 at 1 pm Worcester City Hall. Bring Pots and Pans and other Noise Makers.  We demand aid be let into Gaza now and that the siege on the Strip be lifted immediately. We reject the Israeli occupation of Gaza: We will not let Gaza stand alone – in Worcester and cities around the world\, we are rising up for Palestine and for a world without Zionism and imperialism.  \n\n\n\nGaza is being starved to death and bombed by Israel while US politicians continue to fund genocide with our tax dollars. Just today\, Israel announced its intention to fully occupy Gaza\, a brazen violation of international law\, done with the green light of the Trump administration. Israel\, with the full support of the US\, is intent on nothing short of the annihilating  2 million Palestinians. We will not allow this depraved reality to continue. All who are complicit in this genocide will be held accountable. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nPlease support one of these organization who are trying to help stop the the genocide: \n\n\n\n\nOxfam:    ⁦https://www.oxfamamerica.org/⁩\n\n\n\nDoctors Against Genocide:     ⁦https://doctorsagainstgenocide.org/⁩\n\n\n\nThe Freedom Flotilla Coalition:      ⁦https://freedomflotilla.org/⁩\n\n\n\n\nDownload the Gaza Fact Sheet \n\n\n\nWe want to make sure everyone’s voice is heard. Organizations who wish to table or speak at Saturday’s event should contact Mysti Green (click to email).

SUMMARY:Good Trouble Lives On-Worcester
DESCRIPTION:Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America\, the power lies with the people. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Updates\n\n\n\n\nOn July 17\, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing\, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble. \n\n\n\nFrom voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest\, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America\, the power lies with the people\, and we’re rising to prove it. \n\n\n\nThis is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead\, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. \n\n\n\nPlease note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Ignored\, dismissed and unlawfully obstructed by the current Trump administration\, it is to you\, the people of these United States\, that we must look to in order to make us whole and declare our sovereignty as a united people. \nWE THE PEOPLE DECLARE OUR INDEPENDENCE. \nPlease join us for a day of declaration\, celebrating our freedom of diversity and independence from a tyrannical administration by asserting the fundamental rights granted to us by both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Let us declare our truths and rights to be self evident by making our voices heard and coming together as the diverse and united community we are\, can and should be. Come with your families\, wear your best 4th finery or regalia celebrating your individual expressions of independence\, to enjoy good food from local food trucks\, inspirational speakers\, music\, and tables with resources! \nA 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. \n\n\n\nRSVP for Updates
