Tabling for Democracy
at Lexington Farmer's Market
Join Indivisible LAB at our table outside the Lexington Farmers Market this summer.
We’ll be at Fletcher Park, near the police station at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Fletcher Avenue, every Tuesday from May 26 through October 27. Volunteers sign up for a two hour shift between 2:00 pm and market closing.
Help build momentum for democracy by connecting with neighbors, sharing information about mutual aid, the state ballot, and ways people can take action ahead of the November elections.
No experience needed. It’s casual, welcoming, and a great way to get involved.
Tell State Officials to Protect our Communities
Urge your state legislators to pass legislation that limits police collaboration with ICE and protects immigrant communities.
Contact Governor Healey and demand an end to Massachusetts’ collaboration agreement with ICE, which diverts our tax dollars to carry out federal immigration enforcement. Our resources should be used to strengthen communities, not to expand ICE’s reach.
Tell Massport to Protect Due Process Rights
Massachusetts residents are being removed from our state via flights from Hanscom Field without access to counsel or family support, violating their due process rights under our State Constitution. Take part in a new campaign to demand action from Massport organized by the De-ICE Hanscom coalition. To join their easy email- and letter-writing action, click

Tell Beacon Hill: Just Say NO to
Trump's Corporate Tax Cuts
Trump’s corporate tax cuts are going to cost Massachusetts nearly half a billion dollars this year alone — on top of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other federal programs we rely on.
Here's the context: States use the federal tax code as a starting point to calculate how much people and corporations owe in taxes.
Trump’s changes to the federal tax code cut taxes for the rich and large corporations (by more than $3 billion/year in MA alone). So, unless we act now, these cuts will also be baked into our state's tax code, meaning big tax cuts for the rich and large corporations.
Other states across the country have already taken action, but we're still waiting on Massachusetts. We don't have to let this happen. Email your state legislators and tell them to reject Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and protect Massachusetts.
Citizens Bank Action
Detention camps run by for-profit prison companies hold nearly 90% of the people in ICE custody - over 65,000 people now and more by the day.
Citizens Bank uses the deposits of customers in Lexington, Arlington, Belmont and throughout their network to finance the largest, most notorious of these companies: CoreCivic and The Geo Group.
On March 7, we held standouts in Arlington Center, Arlington Heights, Belmont, and Lexington as part of a multi-state action involving more than 60 protests in 13 states. Join the People's Shareholder Meeting to De-ICE Citizens Bank outside the bank's headquarters in Providence, RI. While Citizens Bank holds its 2026 Annual Shareholder Meeting, the people will make their voices heard! Sign up here to register for the event.
Get more information about De-Ice Citizens Bank, including actions you can take, here.
Tell Our Members of Congress: Do Your Job
On Dec 17, Judge Cobb of the District of Columbia ruled that ICE’s policy requiring advance notice before members of congress can inspect immigration detention facilities likely violates federal law.
On Dec 19, Judge Saris of the Massachusetts District Court, ruled that the Trump administration had been violating the law by misclassifying immigrants and placing them in mandatory detention without bond hearings.
Our friends at Justice 4 All, who host the Thursday standout at the Burlington ICE facility, have made it easy for you to send a letter to members of the MA congressional delegation. Demand that they: inspect the ICE facility in Burlington, ensure that MA residents are getting the bond hearings they are entitled to, and insist that no one is denied fair representation and a hearing because they have been flown out of the state.
Write for Democracy - CEO's
Business leaders have been SILENT as ICE and CBP have wreaked havoc. Demand that they speak out against the excesses of out-of-control federal agents. Join us to write to the CEOs of the 25 biggest corporations headquartered in Massachusetts and demand that they speak up. We will be supplying postcards and you can find instructions, a sample message, and a CEO name-and-address list here.
Saving Democracy One Card at a Time
The Card Campaign for Democracy provides resources for educating the people about our democracy and the threats against it. You can order their pre-printed cards, or download PDF files to print on your own printer or have printed at Staples or by another printing service.
Follow their distribution guides for advice on how to hand out the cards or leave them at stores, restaurants, or bus stops. Heather Cox Richardson often announces new card releases on her substack.
You can find their No Kings cards HERE and cards on other current topics, such as Protesting, the Fourth Amendment, or Stopping ICE Terrorism, HERE.
Write for Postcards to Voters
If you prefer to write postcards on your own, or even host a postcard writing gathering with friends, Postcards to Voters offers ready to use addresses and message scripts. As one of the first organizations to use this approach to reach voters, they make it easy to get started. You will need to provide your own postcards and stamps, and can find everything you need through the link started here or on their website.

Combat Food Insecurity
Many MA residents will lose SNAP benefits they depend on to purchase food because of changes to the program included in a bill Congress passed this summer.
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
Healthy Waltham
You can find information about other local food banks or pantries here or here.
Click here to add your name to this petition from LUCE, the Immigrant Justice Network of Massachusetts, to tell Governor Healey: Feed the People. Fund Food, Not ICE.

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.
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?
