Seeing ICE activity right now?
Call or text the LUCE Defense Hotline at 617-370-5023, every day 6am–9pm, in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Haitian Creole and Mandarin, and other languages by interpreter. The hotline is run by LUCE, not by us.
Where we fit
We stand alongside existing Boston-area immigrant justice networks like LUCE and the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN).
LUCE operates an informational network and the LUCE Defense Hotline to monitor ICE activity, and points supporters to Operation Milkweed for direct financial support to families.
BIJAN is a “community network of individuals, faith communities, and other activist groups working to reduce the escalating harm of our immigration system.” BIJAN offers bond support: the Beyond Bond & Legal Defense Fund, which BIJAN started, contributes toward immigration bond payments for detained individuals in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Boston Angel Network, through the Boston Angel Fund it hosts, complements these efforts with a broader scope, providing direct legal aid to community and university affiliates through all stages of their legal processes.
