SUMMARY:Lowell Naturalization Ceremony: Help Register New Citizens
DESCRIPTION:Come join the League of Women Voters and friends\, and help up to 1000 new American citizens register to vote. It’s a very rewarding experience! \n**If you arrive before 10:00\, please use Brown St. (back) entrance since all else will be locked.** \nSchedule (all times are approximate):\n9:30: Table setup begins in lobby\n10:00-11:45: Tabling in lobby to explain what we are doing and hand out voter registration forms\n11:45-12:45: Go inside the auditorium to watch the naturalization ceremony (if you want)\n12:45-1:30: Return to the lobby to collect forms from new citizens and sort them out for delivery/mailing to the town halls. \nParking fills up quickly because there are so many people attending the ceremony. The best place to park is probably the Immaculate Conception Church parking lot\, or if that is unavailable\, the Lower Locks Parking Garage on Warren St. (usually $10 event parking)\, then cross the covered bridge over to the auditorium. There is also metered street parking. \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:Monthly 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
