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 to:

• Get Flock Out, for practical ways to get Flock out of our communities.
• DeFlock, to learn more about these cameras and where they are located.
• Flock Safety Background, to learn about the dangers posed by Flock Safety’s surveillance network.

LOCAL ELECTIONS Don’t forget to vote for you local Select Board, City Council, School Committee, or Library Board. These policy makers make decisions that can impact the lives of you and your family.

On a State Level

Don’t Let ICE Buy Our Data: In Massachusetts, the Senate has passed a robust data privacy bill that prevents the purchase and sale of your private, sensitive cellphone data that is currently being bought by and sold to (without a warrant) to ICE and other federal agencies. Tell your state rep to support this data privacy bill and protect our data.

FLOCK ALPRs: Ask your state representative to support H3755, which imposes meaningful statewide license plate reader (like Flock cameras) guardrails (data retention and sharing limits). It was just advanced out of the Transportation Committee and now awaits action in the House Ways and Means Committee. Please tell your representative to tell the House Ways and Means Committee Chair Aaron Michlewitz to advance this important driver privacy bill.

The Leah Zallman Center for Immigrant Health Research (LZC) has released Iced In: The Actions and Impacts of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Massachusetts in 2025. This report found patterns of unnecessary violence and suppression of basic rights, fear and instability taking hold in Massachusetts, destabilization of entire institutions and communities.

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 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.

2. Email or call your state senator and urge them to support the PROTECT Act (H5608). Tell them to make sure it includes important protections, like limits on cooperation with ICE, restrictions on courthouse arrests, and a strong, unequivocal ban on 287(g) agreements, which deputize local law enforcement as immigration agents. The PROTECT ACT was approved by the House and now will be considered and probably amended in the Senate. FYI, the Mass Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition has more information about these bills and immigrant issues in general.

3. Call your state legislators and tell them to support the permanent decoupling of the state tax code from the federal code so we don’t lose $664 million annually that could be used to support services.

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

On a National Level

1. On the Federal Level, Congress will soon need to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). NOW is a good time to update this law to add commonsense privacy protections. Contact your senators and representatives and urge them to include more protections when reauthorizing this law. 5 Calls has a script you can use here.

2. Defend our trans neighbors. Please take a minute to submit a public comment. On December 17, 2025, a coalition backed by SPLC-designated hate groups filed an FDA petition requesting a federal registry of trans women receiving estrogen, mandatory psychiatric gatekeeping, and boxed warnings on the same molecule the FDA just declared safer than previously labeled — for cisgender women.

3. Sign the open letter from alumni across the country calling on college presidents to keep their campuses free from ICE terror. Students, faculty, and staff at our institutions of higher education deserve safe environments in which to learn, teach, and work, without any threat of ICE violence.

4. Tell our Members of Congress: End Trump’s illegal war with Iran and Refuse to fund Trump’s war.

5. Email our Members of Congress now and tell them you expect them to do everything in their power to block the warehousing of humans.

   Or call our senators: No ICE warehouses in Massachusetts, and call Rep. Auchincloss: The constituents of MA-04 reject ICE concentration camps.**

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.
