I just went to a protest & Tisha b'av service/vigil, outside the Boston ICE office. I wasn't sure I wanted to do this, but that doesn't matter. This is my work, in the times we live in.
Never again para nadie. (Never again, for anyone.)
I posted the above from my phone, while drinking tea in a Caffe Nero across the street from the Government Center T station. Adding:
The Boston ICE office is in the JFK Federal Building, in Government Center. Based on past experience, I left early enough to allow a margin for getting lost in Government Center, which I did. (It's a large open space surrounded by mostly unlabeled buildings.) When I got to the rally,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle spotted me, so I stood with her and a few of her friends.
The event itself was lower-energy than I had expected, more quiet vigil and less noisy protest than I was expecting. I think louder would have been better, since we weren't just trying to be noticed by the government, or the media--part of the point was to let the prisoners inside know that there are people out here who support them and wish them well.
