Three actions anyone can take RIGHT NOW if they do not already have an action they are taking to support folks targeted by ICE:

1. Donate or volunteer with LUCE Massachusetts at www.lucemass.org

2. Program the LUCE Massachusetts phone number into your contacts and favorite it so you can quickly call them if you see ICE agents in your community

Number of the LUCE Mass hotline: 617-370-5023

3. Get some Know Your Rights materials to send to your friends and neighbors.

You can get Red Cards and Know Your Rights materials here:
