"In 1773, colonists threw tea in Boston harbor to protest unfair taxation, but on the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Bostonians threw ice in opposition to the ICE "terror campaign." Hosted by the activist groups Boston Indivisible and Mass 50501, protesters gathered at the Irish Famine Memorial Plaza - just steps from the original tea party starting point at the Old South Meeting House - on Tuesday, according to the activist groups."
"The protest also aimed to bring light to the "Trump Administration's corruption, authoritarianism, and destruction of our democratic norms," the groups said. "I think this is one of the most brutal regimes we've had in this country, and I want my niece and nephew to remember that it's important to protest, and that we in Boston are part of a proud tradition of dumping things into the harbor with which we disagree," Sarah Sievers, of Cambridge, told The Boston Globe at the protest."
Bostonians held a protest on the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party by dumping "clean ice" into the harbor to oppose ICE enforcement and the Trump administration. The event was organized by Boston Indivisible and Mass 50501 at the Irish Famine Memorial Plaza near the Old South Meeting House. Protesters carried "No Kings" and anti-ICE signs and marched along Milk and Congress streets to Waterfront Plaza. Organizers drew parallels between historic resistance and current fears among immigrant families, calling the administration corrupt and authoritarian and urging civic advocacy.
