On a Local Level

FLOCK ALPRs: Contact your local select person, mayor’s office, and/or local police department to find out if your community uses Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Information about your movements might be going into a national database! For more information and what to do about it, go here.

On a State Level

  1. What else can you do to save democracy?

    Step one: Learn a little about the legislative process and what it means to “lobby” your legislator.

    Step two: Find out who your state representative and senator are. Find out here.

    Step three: Learn about legislation/bills below that the Indivisible Mass Coalition (IMC) is pushing for. Note that bills with S are Senate bills, and bills with an H are House bills.

    Step four: Now is the time to email or call your state legislators and urge them to support the PROTECT Act (H5608) and other legislation that includes strong provisions to ban formal and informal collaboration between state and local law enforcement and ICE. The PROTECT Act draws a clear line between Massachusetts and ICE’s unlawful and unconstitutional practices, including warrantless arrests, racial profiling, and intimidation in and around courthouses. By contacting your state legislator now, you are demanding robust safeguards for civil rights, public safety, and the rule of law. Access the action sheet here.

In addition, while Governor Healey issued an executive order and proposed legislation to protect Mass residents from ICE. they do not include ending the state’s existing collaboration agreement with ICE or banning new local agreements. Contact Governor Healey and tell her to end the state’s collaboration agreement with ICE that uses our tax dollars to do ICE’S work.

Senate bills that are similar to the House bills included in H.5608, are:

And two bills not included in H.5608, but related to law enforcement identification, are:

FYI, the Mass Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition has more information about these bills and immigrant issues in general.

  1. Contact your local selectperson, mayor’s office, and/or local police department to find out if your community uses Flock Safety’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. Information about your movements might be going into a national database! For more information and what to do about it, go here.

    Contact your state legislators and ask them to support H3755 which sets limits on how data from Flock cameras could be used.

Don’t know who your state representative or senator is, find out here!

On a National Level

  1. Urge Congressman Auchincloss and Senators Warren and Markey to demand a War Powers vote and stop a war with Iran.

  2. Urge Senators Warren and Markey, and Congressman Auchincloss, to Halt the ICE Terror Machine. Here is script for Warren and Markey, and here is script for Auchincloss.

    Demand the resignations of Miller, Noem, and Bondi, that ICE agents not wear masks, the end of quotas and racial profiling, independent investigations into Good’s and Pretti’s murders, more oversight at detention centers, no family detention, and that ICE be sent back to the border. More info is here.

Things to do this Week

Tuesdays, at 1-3pm ET. Join Indivisible making phone calls to voters in key states, asking them to contact their U.S. Senators and Congressional representatives to urge them to rein in ICE. Register here.

Call Senators Markey and Warren and tell them to oppose new voter suppression legislation modeled on the infamous SAVE Act. Last Congress, we helped defeat the SAVE Act, one of the worst voter suppression bills in a half century. Now, a series of bills with the same impact (ending registration by mail, adding new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering) could get a vote in the House this week. Make sure your representative hears from you before the vote. More information here

WEAR A PAPER CLIP!!!

From Joyce Vance in Civil Discourse, September 20, 2025

On Thursday, E. Jean Carroll started it: Paper Clip Protest.

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” she wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

Norwegian teachers and students wore paper clips to signal their opposition to Nazi occupation. They attached them to their lapels and wore them as jewelry, a symbol of solidarity binding them together as paper clips did with papers. It was a quiet act of defiance, expressing that Norwegians remained united against Nazi rule.
