SUMMARY:May Day 2018 - Resist Deportations
DESCRIPTION:Join us on International Workers Day \nThe government in Washington is leading a generalized assault on our lives\, rights\, and living conditions. The wealth gap today is greater than at any time in history. From the racist attacks on Muslims\, Migrants\, and African-Americans to attacks on healthcare\, women\, and LGBT folks\, and from attacks on our environment and education\, to perpetual wars\, working people are under fire. The leading edge of this assault today is the stepped up attacks against migrants. Deportations are accelerating. As US wars have created massive debt and refugees internationally\, the consequences of corporate greed at home have created refugees within our own borders. The recent tax cuts for the rich will be at our expense. Millions of youth and decent hard working people are under attack! \nStudent debt stands at over a trillion dollars! Claiming that human caused climate change is a “hoax”\, the Trump Administration has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord. The falsehood of this claim was yet again demonstrated by the horrendous hurricanes that devastated the Gulf Coast and Caribbean. Enough is enough! An injury to one is an injury to all! Let us stand together and build a united movement.

SUMMARY:VIGIL to Condemn Human Rights Violations at the US Border
DESCRIPTION:June 28 – 6:00-7:00 p.m.\, Massachusetts Statehouse\n \nVIGIL to Condemn Human Rights Violations at the US Border\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the 2009 coup and the subsequent increasing violence\, more than 100 members of Congress have repeatedly warned the State Department (first under Clinton and then Secretary John Kerry) about the deteriorating security situation in Honduras. The homicide rate in Honduras\, already one of the highest in the world\, increased by 50 percent from 2008 to 2013; political repression\, the murder of opposition political candidates\, peasant organizers\, environmental defenders like Bertha Caceres and LGBT activists increased and continue to this day.\n\nThe violence and insecurity were exacerbated by a generalized institutional collapse. Drug-related violence has worsened amid allegations of rampant corruption in Honduras’ police and government. Honduran security forces have engaged in a wave of killings and other human rights crimes with impunity. Many of these same security forces receive their training in the U.S. and are heavily armed and supplied with aid dollars from Washington.\n\nWe stand up to loudly denounce the bipartisan hypocrisy and lack of regard for the human rights of Central Americans and demand immediate relief for those seeking safe haven from the conditions for which OUR government is largely responsible!\n\nFor more information contact:\nPatricia Montes\, Centro Presente (617) 483 2937

SUMMARY:Emergency Climate Rally and Vigil!
DESCRIPTION:As the legislative session rapidly draws to a close\, time is running out to take action to support climate policy. We are all witnessing the catastrophic effects of climate change all around us – most notably with the heat waves that ravaged the country last month\, and we know that the impacts of climate change are only getting worse. And guess what? The House rejected ALL the amendments that aligned with our priorities\, and instead supported a regressive policy agenda that does not safeguard our climate. \nIt is time for us to take bold action. \n1) Rally and Call Thursday\, July 19th \nWe’re asking you to join us on Thursday\, July 19th at the State House for an Emergency Climate Rally to demonstrate the need for the Mass House to act on climate now! \nCan we count on you to show your support for the climate policies we need by attending our emergency rally? \n2) Share who you’re fighting for! \nWe’re asking everyone who comes to bring FIVE copies of a picture of who they are fighting for. This could be a picture of a child\, grandchild\, niece\, nephew\, cousin\, or sibling\, or friend. Please write on the back of the photo why you care for this person\, and why climate change concerns you. \nIf you can’t make it on Thursday\, please send a picture of who you are fighting for to your rep and post it to social media. We’ll have more details about this ask early next week. \n3) Call Your Rep \nIf you cannot make it to the rally\, it’s more integral than ever to call your representative and ask them to take impactful climate action. Make sure to call your representative on Thursday\, 7/19 and we will follow up with a call script. Please also consider sending a copy of that photo to your rep over social media and use the hashtag \nLet’s flood the phones and the floor of the Massachusetts Statehouse to show the urgency of immediate climate action in our state policy!

SUMMARY:March on NEU - Abolish ICE
DESCRIPTION:English: \nNortheastern University has received $2.7 million from an ongoing research contract with ICE. The agency is also listed as an employer for Northeastern’s student co-op program. The university benefits from and provides services to ICE\, making them complicit in the agency’s criminalization and dehumanization of the immigrant community. \nNortheastern also directly contributes to the gentrification of Roxbury and other surrounding neighborhoods\, displacing and breaking apart their communities. \nWe demand permanent protection\, dignity\, and respect for all immigrants and institutions such as Northeastern inhibit this through their complicity. Join us as we march on Northeastern University to demand that they end their multi-million dollar contract and student co-op program with ICE. \nThe collaboration of institutions like Northeastern makes the deportation machine possible. Abolish ICE! \nThis action is part of Movimiento Cosecha’s Abolish ICE national day of action \nEspañol: \nNortheastern University ha recibido 2\,7 millones mediante un contrato de investigación con ICE.

SUMMARY:50 Miles More - Stand against Gun Violence
DESCRIPTION:Continuing the 50 Miles More #50more in #50states challenge\, the young people of Massachusetts are standing against gun violence with a four-day\, 50 mile march from the city hall of Worcester\, MA to Smith & Wesson headquarters in Springfield\, MA. With this march we urge Smith & Wesson to become a part of the solution to a problem they remain complicit in. \nIn a joint effort from Stop Handgun Violence\, March For Our Lives Boston\, and a number of other organizations\, we respond to 50 Miles More’s call to action. We are sick of manufacturers falling to greed\, and prioritizing money over the safety of our communities. As angry and determined students we will not remain silent. We march. \nMARCH DETAILS \nThe morning of Wednesday\, August 22nd busses will depart from Boston and Springfield toward Worcester. The march will leave from Worcester on August 23rd\, and arrive in Springfield on August 26th. If you can’t make the whole march or you know others who want to join\, everyone\, of any age\, is invited to a rally outside Smith & Wesson headquarters at 2100 Roosevelt Ave Springfield\, MA on the 26th.
