before our Steering Committee elections this week!
You are not! So far the only alternative candidate we're aware of who isn't a Republican is Andrea James. She's a lawyer, organizer, & formerly incarcerated person who is running as an independent.

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.
The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

Important Calls to Make TODAY - mailchi.mp/jpprogressiv... A big list of actions and events for us this week.
Text reads: I just learned, via a LUCE message that Gov. Healey is getting more pro-ICE calls than against ICE calls. Please call her office and support ICE out of MA. Call her office at 617-725-4005. You can leave a voicemail with your phone number, address and message. Thank you,
Passed on by my lively neighborhood group!💗
@massgovernor.bsky.social needs to hear from us, y’all 🫡
617-725-4005
@maindivisible.bsky.social @mass50501.bsky.social @progressivemass.bsky.social @jonathancohn.bsky.social @andrewqmr.bsky.social
A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.
Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.
Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

This is beautiful redundancy, thank you!
Call your senator and tell them: Not a penny more for ICE brutality! indivisible.org/actions/ice-...
MA residents: Sens Warren & Markey are already with us here but you can call them to say thanks and to say that we should not only not FUND ICE, we should ABOLISH and PROSECUTE ICE.
Tonight! Eyes on ICE: Document and Record, 8pm

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
“ICE leaders…are trying to keep it secret because they know what they are doing is wrong,” said Carol Rose, head of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. “It is just indicative of how out of control ICE has become.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/24/m...
Sorry to miss this question but the organizations sponsoring are listed. IMC was one but it was a larger group.
Rapid Response meeting tonight, 6pm. Join a coalition of unions & community orgs to learn about actions to protect our communities.

A year into Trump's second term, we're not accepting his dystopian vision for America as inevitable.
The people are still powerful, & the past year has shown us that the only way to beat a dictator is with defiance.
