(and not in concentration camps, either … )
MoveOn has a pretty comprehensive list of all the rallies against government-sponsored child abuse, the tearing apart of families under ICE/CBP. In Boston, it’ll be at City Hall Plaza at 11am. It will be hot; please dress accordingly and hydrate.
Here’s MoveOn’s list of actions in MA tomorrow. This will be amazing.
- MA: Andover, Barnstable, Belchertown, Boston, Brewster, Brookline, Buzzards Bay, Chatham, Colrain, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Framingham, Granville, Great Barrington, Greenfield, Harwich, Haverhill, Hyannis, Lunenburg, Mansfield, Mashpee, Nantucket, Natick, New Bedford, Newburyport, North Dartmouth, North Truro, Northborough, Orleans, Peabody, Pittsfield, Provincetown, Reading, Springfield, Vineyard Haven, Wellfleet, Westborough, Williamstown, Worcester
… But we have a Thing To Do, in Massachusetts. This must be a real demonstration of political power on behalf of the Safe Communities Act, to stop (or at least hinder) the ongoing abuses of ICE in our very Commonwealth, with the assistance of the Boston Police Department, Bristol Sheriff Hodgson, and others. Enough — it must stop.
Read this thread for a recent example:
UPDATE: Client arrested in #EastBoston court still in #ICE custody. Fighting to get him out, but that’s not what this thread is about.
This thread is about how @bostonpolice carelessly railroaded an innocent man & handed him to ICE#AbolishICE #bospolihttps://t.co/eoLAbRv6pC

My favorite sign from today. I didn’t get a shot of this but glad somebody did.
