SUMMARY:Rally at Statehouse with People Protected by TPS
DESCRIPTION:Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status that provides employment authorization and protection from deportation for foreign nationals who cannot be safely returned to their home countries. \nThere are approximately 186\,403 Salvadorans\, 70\,281 Hondurans\, and 46\,558 Haitians who currently hold a valid grant of TPS\, for a total of approximately 300\,000 individuals. Deporting all Salvadoran\, Honduran\, and Haitian TPS holders would cost taxpayers $3.1 billion dollars. Ending TPS for these three countries would result in a $6.9 billion reduction to Social Security and Medicare contributions over a decade.

SUMMARY:Threads of Resistance & The Unraveling- Fuller Craft Museum
DESCRIPTION:December 9 – 455 Oak St.\, Brockton – Fuller Craft Museum \nThreads of Resistance & The Unraveling by Adrienne Sloane \nThreads of Resistance is an exhibition of modern and traditional quilts designed to protest the Trump administration’s actions and policies. The project was conceived by a group known as the Artist’s Circle. They explain\, “We take issue with the divisive actions of the Trump administration. Our art explores our emotional responses to these actions\, in the hope that it will encourage civilized\, constructive conversation and\, ultimately\, better understanding of one another’s viewpoints.” \nIn addition\, view a new provocative work by Watertown’s own Adrienne Sloane – The Unraveling. Sloane’s hand-knit flag partially obscures a copy of the U.S. Constitution printed on silk. The artist has begun to unravel the flag\, leaving piles of loose yarn on the plinth underneath\, partially revealing the historic document. Sloane will return periodically to further unravel the flag until May 20\, 2018. The Unraveling echoes the craftivist spirit of two upcoming exhibitions at Fuller Craft Museum\, Revolution in the Making: The Pussyhat Project opening January 21\, and Threads of Resistance on display December 9. Please join us for the opening reception of both exhibitions on January 21 from 2:00 – 5:00 pm.

SUMMARY:FreeSiham Protest Against Child Deportations
DESCRIPTION:Every Tuesday at the immigration court in the JFK Federal Building\, in the heart of Boston\, children without legal representation are brought before a judge and then deported\, often times to situations that are extremely dangerous. \nIn January\, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh declared that Boston would be a sanctuary for immigrants. He even offered his office as a literal sanctuary to immigrants facing deportation. Yet every Tuesday since making that promise\, dozens of children have been deported within sight of Mayor Walsh’s office. Often they are arrested and detained with the full support and collaboration of city officials and law enforcement. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, January 9th to stand in solidarity with the children who will be in court on that day\, pleading for the chance to remain safely in the U.S. We also have two demands:\n1. That the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families release a public statement against Siham Byah’s deportation\, and that they end any collaboration with the ICE attacks that are devastating Massachusetts families.\n2. That Siham Byah be returned to the United States immediately and given the opportunity to present her case for asylum in the United States. Siham was notified of her pending asylum case and then deported by ICE\, in violation of the law\, before her case could be heard.

SUMMARY:Rally for Transit\, Not Traffic
DESCRIPTION:Over the next nine-years the Massachusetts Department of Transportation is spending $1B on rebuilding a mile stretch of the I-90 turnpike in Allston\, and not providing any improvements to bus or train connections locally or regionally until 2040 (ie. never!). We’re going to meet during the morning rush hour traffic jam at the Double Tree Hotel (without blocking traffic) and demand the MassDOT refocus the project to build the transit station first and not delay it for decades. \nWe will march (on the sidewalks) from the Doubletree/River St Bridge/Cambridge St intersection to Governor Baker’s campaign headquarters at 500 Lincoln Street to let him know that we need West Station NOW! Our neighborhood deserves better transit and we need to let him know. \nJoin us for a few minutes on your way to work or stay & linger for a while. Signs & banners will be provided or bring your own. \nIf you can’t make it but want to support smart growth in Boston’s next new neighborhood\, visit http://peoplespike.org/get-involved to learn how you can write a letter in support
