Combat Food Insecurity
Help Prevent Hunger: The Trump administration is using the government shutdown as an excuse to delay providing funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) starting on November 1. More than 1 million MA residents, many of whom are children, seniors, and people with disabilities, will lose benefits they depend on to purchase food (more details here).
​
While local food banks and pantries rely on volunteer help and donations of food and other items, what they need most right now is financial support. Here are some organizations in our communities that could benefit from your generosity:
​
Arlington Eats
Bedford Food Bank
Lexington Food Pantry
​
You can find information about other local food banks or pantries here or here.
Citizens Bank Action
We are seeking fellow activists interested in highlighting the role Citizens Bank plays in financing the companies that build & operate ICE detention centers and for-profit prisons.
​
Does Citizens Bank really care about “fostering strong communities"? Citizens Bank says it's dedicated to fostering strong communities, but it hasn't cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group—for profit companies that build and operate prisons and detention centers. While other US banks have pulled out, Citizens Bank has deepened its ties with the companies that are the big winners in ICE’s war on immigrants.
Protests at bank branches are building. Click on Learn More for details.

Write for Democracy
We won’t be distributing postcard packets again until after the holidays, but you can get addresses to write postcards on your own (or with friends at a “postcard party”) from Postcards to Voters (PTV). PTV was founded in 2017 and writes for campaigns, including special elections and down ballot races, all year round. You need to buy your own postcards and stamps, but PTV provides the script and addresses for each campaign. If you’ve never written for PTV, or have written before and would like to request addresses, you can get more information here or on their website.
The Power of Boycotts

Boycotts are a powerful way for people to create change. When we stop supporting companies or institutions that act unfairly, we send a clear message that ethics and accountability matter. Together, our collective spending power can drive justice and real reform.
​
Boycott Home Depot
Mass 50501 and other organizations are calling for a boycott of Home Depot, which has remained silent as its properties have become sites of ICE operations targeting immigrant workers and communities. Raids continue to unfold on its lots, and the company’s inaction speaks volumes. Learn more and find ways to take action at the Mass 50501 or Boycott Home Depot websites.
​
Hold Spotify Accountable
Spotify is currently running ads that recruit agents for ICE—the agency responsible for deportations and surveillance of immigrant communities. These ads target vulnerable populations, offer signing bonuses, and help normalize fear and intimidation in our neighborhoods.
​
Spotify claims these ads comply with company policy, but streaming hate is not neutral—it’s a choice. Indivisible National urges users to take action, including canceling Spotify subscriptions until these ads are removed. Learn more about additional actions and alternative music platforms here.

Contact Your Legislators on Beacon Hill
By now, most of us have seen video clips of groups of masked and armed people committing ruthless disappearing acts on our residents (including some citizens) without due process. We have also seen the National Guard deployed against the wishes of the Mayor of Los Angeles and the Governor of California.
Please take this 1 minute action to send a letter to your state legislators and ask them to Protect The Commonwealth by passing HD.4886 (Identification of law enforcement) and HD.5020 (Responsible deployment of the National Guard) in MA.
Protect MA!
Did you know that there is $14 billion in funding for local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE in the Big Ugly Bill that passed in July? This funding will allow ICE to scale up across our country using our state's resources.
MA must pass legislation banning our local and state law enforcement from doing ICE's work.
​
Please sign this Progressive Mass digital petition and stop by Indivisible LAB Action Hours or our tables at the Arlington and Lexington farmers markets to send postcards to your legislators.
Help Strengthen Voting Rights in Massachusetts
The Election Modernization Coalition is a legislative advocacy group working together since 2010 to advance voting rights in Massachusetts by removing barriers to registering and voting and modernizing election systems. Members include the Massachusetts chapters of Common Cause, the ACLU, and the League of Women Voters, Mass Vote, the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts and several other organizations.
Their priority legislation this year includes bills to provide same-day voter registration, separate the municipal census from voter registration, and inspect polling places to ensure access for disabled voters.
TAKE ACTION TODAY: You can get more information on their website and use this link to ask your state legislators to support these bills.
No New Women's Prison!
Without any discussion, Gov. Healey announced that she wants to spend $360 MILLION dollars (up from $50 million) on a new women's prison.
This is an abomination. The current prison is half full - and when they build a new one they will want to fill those beds, with people in desperate straits because the safety net has been pulled out from under them.
​
Does it make sense to spend 360 million dollars to imprison 218 women, many of whom are elderly (due to harsh prison conditions that is over
age 50) or have severe health issues and are no danger to society?
​
