Actions at Burlington
📅 Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday📍 1000 District Ave, Burlington, MA
Many of you are aware and some of you have been to protests at the ICE facility in Burlington, MA. The biggest weekly protest (500+ people) is led by Bearing Witness on Wednesdays from 11am-1pm. However, there are visibilities just about every day of the week! Since Wednesdays are the biggest, parking is also the biggest challenge. Another group, Justice 4 All, leads the Thursday protests from 11am-1pm and is looking for more support. They usually have around 75+ people each week and have live music, speeches, standouts and marches, similar to the Wednesday group. On Mondays and Tuesdays there is a small standout called FixICE with around 12 people or so each week. On Saturdays, No Fear Street Theater, hosts another standout on Mall Rd. Parking suggestions are listed here.

NH Peace Action focuses on questioning and ending our country's violent foreign policy. We have always noted the ways in which this treatment of those outside our country is reflected in violence at home as well.
We are currently seeing an upsurge in the use of militarized force against people within our borders through an increase in the purview, funding, and impunity given to ICE. There is also a strong and inspiring wave of resistance. Come learn more about the work in NH to disrupt ICE activities and how you can help.

U.S. Senate Candidate Jared Sullivan📅 Tuesday, January 20 | 7PM📍 Zoom | Register Here
You’re invited !!
As part of an initiative to help NH residents become more invested in candidates seeking elected office throughout the state, Southern NH Indivisible is hosting a series of Community Listening Sessions. Each session will feature a candidate running for office in the upcoming 2026 election, offering them a chance to reach voters in their homes.
We are very excited to announce our 2nd session featuring Jared Sullivan, currently a NH State Representative in the northern part of the state. He is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Jeanne Shaheen. A brief introduction from Jared’s website:
“As a current state rep in the North Country, I know what hard work
looks like. I’m juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet, and still
deeply frustrated with how broken our politics have become. So I’m
taking the fight to Washington.”
His Senate campaign messaging focuses on combating political polarization, challenging the current administration’s influence in national politics, and “disrupting” the status quo while emphasizing anti-corruption.
Please come, bring your questions and be heard!

ICE Out of Merrimack
ICE Out of Merrimack📅 Thursday, January 8
🕠 5:30PM Rally
🕖 7PM Town Council Meeting📍 Merrimack Town Hall
Southern NH Indivisible is one of 30+ co-sponsors for this action, organized by the newly formed NO ICE NH coalition.
According to information leaked in the Washington Post on December 24th, the Trump administration plans to open a new ICE-controlled warehouse to detain immigrants in Merrimack. As NH residents, we cannot let this happen.
Join us at the Merrimack Town Council’s next meeting to oppose the opening of this warehouse. We will begin with a rally at 5:30pm, including speeches from local leaders, followed by attendance at the town council meeting.
So far, the town does not have any additional information and has been receptive to our outreach, so please keep that in mind. Our target is ICE/DHS, etc., not the town of Merrimack.
We will also be collecting food and warm clothing for NH Mutual Aid Relief Fund and other local organizations.
