In a time when economic uncertainty weighs heavily on families across the country, the need for community support systems has never been greater. The persistent threat of immigration enforcement has begun to destabilize our households and fracture our communities. That’s why we have joined a coalition of other organizations to establish a dedicated hotline to fight deportations, provide connections to legal and mutual aid resources, and build Neighbor to Neighbor’s collective power in our chapter cities.

LUCE translates in many languages as light and brightness, but for us, it symbolizes truth, protection, and clarity, values that are essential in the fight against unjust enforcement and intimidation. The Luce Immigration Watch works to ensure that no one stands alone in the face of injustice. It’s more than a campaign, it’s now a necessity. If you or anyone in your community observe raids and people being detained, call 617-370-5023 to report activity and keep immigrant communities safe. You can also scan the QR code to visit the coalition’s website at lucemass.org.

LUCE has made its mark on the Massachusetts Immigration landscape, recently being featured in the Boston Globe and the New Yorker. The LUCE hotline is a statement of solidarity and justice. It acknowledges the humanity of immigrant communities and affirms their right to safety and dignity. In times of economic turmoil, protecting our neighbors isn’t just about resilience, it’s about recognizing that community well-being is intrinsically tied to collective prosperity.
