Frequently Asked Questions

Live or work in Massachusetts? Save the Luce hotline number on your phone: 617-370-5023

This is a resource for ALL in the community. We deserve to know what is real and not real.

    1. You suspect ICE or DHS, FBI, federal agents, or unidentified suspicious activity in your community.

    2. If you’ve witnessed or had a personal contact report any of the above.

    3. If you see people dressed like civilians parked for prolonged hours in a residential area, with tinted windows, making traffic stops in a neighborhood.

    4. If you want to connect with other people in your community who are taking action to keep each other safe.

    1. Whether you witnessed the situation yourself or you were told by someone else.

    2. The exact time and location of the situation you witnessed.

    3. A detailed description of the events, including car makes and models, and photo or videos if you have them.

  • When you contact the hotline, you will speak or text with a trained volunteer operator who will ask you for details of the suspected activity. Then, the operator will dispatch trained volunteers in your community who will attempt to verify the situation.

Our Principles

We are a coalition of immigrant-led, grassroots organizations who build people power for everyone across Massachusetts. 

We move grounded in our principles of justice and equity, with a deep commitment to keeping all of our communities safe through grassroots organizing, information sharing, and mutual aid.

Our Vision

We hold a collective vision for a People’s immigration justice, and refuse to accept that meeting one demand means not meeting another. While we may focus on a particular demand that uplifts a particular community, we refuse to leave anyone behind because of their marginalized identity.

We know that all of us are deserving of collective liberation. We organize in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, immigrants and refugees, people who are targets of criminalization and currently or formerly incarcerated, young people, elders, LGBTQ+ people, and all those who are oppressed and living at the margins due to the broken system of “justice” within the U.S.
