Join Lexington Alarm! at MLK Activator’s Fair on Monday, Jan 19th

ByToby Sackton

Lexington Alarm! will have a table at the Activator’s Fair that is sponsored by the Lexington Human Rights Commission as part of the town’s activities to honor Dr. Martin Luther King. The Fair is a way to connect people with activist organizations that are working for social justice.

At our table, we will have sign-up sheets and handouts about the history of Lexington Alarm! and how we connect our mission to the revolutionary actions of America’s founders. We will highlight volunteer opportunities focused on supporting the rule of law and due-process rights, and we will encourage volunteering to provide aid for individuals and families hurt by such inhumane government actions as the illegal immigration crackdown by ICE and the cuts to SNAP benefits.

We need 10-12 volunteers to cover shifts between 9 a.m and 3 p.m at Grace chapel, the Fair’s location. Our set up and take down will be minimal, and food will be provided at the event! Please sign up here to lend a hand. (link to be added)

    In September the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission, consisting of representatives from the town surrounding Hanscom, formally asked Massport for information about incoming ICE flights at the airfield and support activities, such as fueling and servicing of ICE charters. Christopher Willenborg, director of Hanscom Field, replied that Massport had no knowledge of incoming ICE flights. This was a lie.

  • The March 28 Debrief: What We Got Right and What We Fix Next

    ByToby

    A few days after the No Kings rally in Lexington, Lexington Alarm held a debrief session to gather reactions. There were several successes and a few things to change before our next event.

    At a post-event debrief on Zoom, organizers, marshals, volunteers, and participants went through the rally piece by piece. The consensus: it was a success. Nearly 2,000 people attended, more signs were sold than at the 6,000-person October rally, and close to 100 new contacts signed up at the tables. The mood among volunteers was described repeatedly as “uplifting.” The table setup was the best yet — positioned closer to the crowd than in October, generating real conversations, sign sales, and genuine engagement with organizational literature.

    We Are All Minneapolis

    ByToby Sackton

    Alex Pretti, a 37 year old nurse known by neighbors as an amiable man in his neighborhood was murdered by federal ICE agents today in Minneapolis.

    Alex was not the target of any investigation. He was using his iphone to film the violent threats of ICE agents in the street, and he was talking to another woman filming the scene. ICE agents approached him and the woman, wrestled him to the ground, and after he had been subdued one agent took out a gun and fired up to ten shots killing him. His last words, to the woman who was pinned to the ground near him as they were pepper sprayed, were “all you alright?”

    We are at war. No sense mincing words. Until we tear the present DHS agency down to the ground and start with a new structure, no one in America is safe.
