Join Seacoast Resilience: Bearing Witness to Deportations Walking Meditation
Bearing Witness to Deportations. Walking Meditation at the Pease Entrance (Route 33 and Grafton).
We walk so as to bear witness and be in touch with the suffering caused by deportations. We take this time to try to look deeply at the roots of suffering: the suffering of those being deported, those who support deportations, and the suffering in the community and in ourselves so that we can better understand and respond.
We walk under a banner that reads "Generating Compassion for All" and "caring for All Beings."

National Day of Action: Good Trouble Lives On
About this event
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.
This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.
Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
