"Mass 50501 and other local groups are organizing demonstrations for this week to protest recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action. The grassroots political organization is leading a rally Saturday as part of a series of "ICE Out of Everywhere" protests happening across the country. The weekend demonstrations will take place the day after Friday's "National Shutdown," where participants will boycott work, school, and shopping."
""This Saturday, a broad coalition of Boston-area organizations is gathering on Boston Common to demand that Massachusetts end all cooperation with ICE," Mass 50501 said on its website. "ICE terrorizes our communities." Saturday's rally will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to the website. Organizers are demanding that Massachusetts officials, particularly Gov. Maura Healey, cut ties with ICE and protect their immigrant communities."
Mass 50501 and allied local groups organized demonstrations in Boston this week to protest recent ICE actions. A National Shutdown boycott of work, school, and shopping is scheduled Friday, with a Copley Square protest at 3:30 p.m. Mass 50501 and the Boston Party for Socialism and Liberation are hosting that event. A broad coalition will rally on Boston Common Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., demanding that Massachusetts end all cooperation with ICE and urging Governor Maura Healey to cut ties and protect immigrant communities. Organizers include PSL, Unitarian Universalist Mass Action, Indivisible Massachusetts Coalition, and Massachusetts Education Justice Alliance. The killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis motivated the protests.
