ICE wants a Mass. company to sell them robot dogs. Tell them not to.
ICE has reportedly earmarked up to $2 million to buy Spot robot dogs from Boston Dynamics, based right here in Waltham. As ICE’s budget increasingly flows to for-profit contractors, this is the kind of deal we can stop before it’s finalized by making clear it violates the company’s own ethics principles and would make them complicit in ICE’s abuses.

Concord Indivisible, Reclaim Our Democracy, and Wright Tavern are teaming up for a night to energize us for the final push to the most critical election of our lives:
- fired-up speakers
- rousing tunes from the Middlesex Activist Band
- a raucous trivia showdown
- and concrete actions you can walk out the door ready to take
Soft drinks and snacks provided — BYO beer and wine. Donations welcome to help cover costs.
