Speechifying, Shakespeare, & Sea Shanties! Every week, we stand on Burlington Mall Road with signs, costumes and flags. We come out to show support for our immigrant neighbors, express our shame at ICE, and build community in opposition to the cruel and unconstitutional actions of our government. We are there to tell the world that there is a ICE CONCENTRATION CAMP just two blocks away.
We are not there merely to make propaganda against ICE. We are there to make propaganda against fear.
Every car that honks in support as they pass is in a small way joining the Resistance. Many who honk may be expressing themselves against ICE terror for the first time. This breaks the ice, and makes it easier for them to take the next steps. It helps them help others to overcome their fear. We are there to cause a ripple effect. To fight against the terror visited on immigrants, we need to fight against our own internalized terror. We have nothing to fear. We are America, fighting back. If you REGISTER by FRIDAY, you will be notified of cancellations by email. All events held rain or shine & only cancel for large storms or high winds. We recommend dressing comfortably for the weather and bring a water bottle. Bring your sign in support of Immigrants or you are most welcome to use one of the ones we have on hand.
This is a creative, participatory protest. If you support immigrants and their constitutional rights, join us!

This a local INDIVISIBLE event!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
