SUMMARY:May Jericho Walk At Burlington ICE Office
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Jericho Walk at the ICE office in Burlington\, MA. \nThe Jericho Walk is a silent interfaith prayer and act of solidarity. The walk draws inspiration from the Battle of Jericho\, in which the community marched around the city of Jericho seven times\, causing the city walls to fall. The Jericho Walk of today is a silent\, peaceful\, and prayerful walk to bring down the walls of our unjust immigration system and is open to people of all or no faiths. \nPlease bring signs calling for just treatment of those who are caught in our broken immigration system\, suggested messages “Keep Families Together”\, “No Family Separation”\, “Not One More/Ni Una Mas”\, “Not In Our Name”. Please refrain from signs explicitly endorsing or condemning any political candidate or official. \nWe will walk\, pray and sing together. \nWe will gather in front of the office\, along District Ave\, just look for the people holding signs. \nThis event will take place unless there is extreme weather.

SUMMARY:Pro ROE Rally
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a peaceful rally to support basic health care for all! With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to gut Roe v. Wade\, Massachusetts must dismantle barriers to care and reform state laws to protect reproductive freedom. Every person has the right to pursue the life they want\, including the right to decide if and when to become a parent — without politicians interfering. \nAbortion is health care — and health care is a fundamental right.

All actions that are sponsored or organized on this page are intended to be nonviolent and peaceful. We expect all participants to act lawfully at all times and to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
