July 2026 Events

As Massachusetts residents, it’s easy to feel like we can’t make much of an impact on national elections. That’s why No Kings Westfield is launching a series of civic engagement and voter outreach initiatives designed to help strengthen democracy and increase voter participation. Throughout the year, we’ll be working on a variety of projects, including encouraging voter turnout in key elections, supporting ballot initiatives, and engaging voters in areas where outreach can make a meaningful difference. Our first event will focus on writing postcards to registered voters in key swing states, encouraging them to participate in upcoming elections. If you’re looking for a meaningful and practical way to take action, this is a great opportunity to get involved. We’ll have some postcard stamps available, but if you’re able to bring postcard stamps to contribute, we’d greatly appreciate it. Join us! *A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*

We’re hitting the doors in Westfield to connect directly with our community! Join us for an energizing day of in-person canvassing as we talk with neighbors about Whalen for Congress. Face-to-face conversations are the most effective way to inspire action, share information, and make a real difference. No prior experience? No problem! Just bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and your enthusiasm to help us reach more voters and spread our message.

Come on down to Bright Ideas Brewing in Westfield for some good music for an even better cause!

Join No Kings Westfield and thousands of people across the country to send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing private prison and immigration detention facility operators The GEO Group and CoreCivic is bad for business. Please bring signs specific to this action: De-ICE Citizens Bank; Cages Aren’t Communities; Citizens Bank - Stop Financing ICE Prisons; Citizens Bank + ICE = Human Rights Abuse; ICE Prisons Don’t Strengthen Our Communities; Citizens Bank - Cut Ties With ICE Prisons; etc. Citizens Bank is bankrolling the country’s two largest prison companies that are earning record profits operating dozens of ICE detention facilities. While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, Citizens Bank is deepening its financial support for these companies, which are already holding more than half of the 70,000 immigrants currently in ICE detention centers across the country. The bank’s capital is supporting a deplorable ICE agenda that aims to fill detention centers with more than 100,000 people by next year. Even as it publicly touts its commitment to “strengthening our communities,” Citizens Bank has played a key role in helping The GEO Group and CoreCivic access more than $2.5 billion in financing, some of it approved earlier this year. This comes as the companies face a mountain of allegations, including forced labor and wrongful deaths due to understaffing and medical neglect at their facilities. We won’t quietly stand by as Citizens continues to finance the private prison & ICE detention companies that are harming our communities. The 2019 exodus of banks from the industry in response to activism should be a reminder to us that our voices matter. Now it’s time to use them. Visit www.de-icecitizensbank.org for more information and other actions you can take! Remember, we want to be in solidarity with workers including bank branch employees. Treat everyone with respect and do not harass or film employees. A core principle behind all Coalition events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment. We recommend all participants review a safety and security resource before your event, such as https://indivisi.org/safety.
