Would you like to be on the planning committee for the 2026 Chelsea Research Festival?

The next Chelsea Research Festival will be held on Monday, May 18, 2026, in Chelsea High School. Would you like to help us plan it?

All stakeholders, whether you’re Chelsea community members, academics, nonprofit/government partners, or anyone else with an appreciation of the Chelsea Research Festival, are invited to join our planning committee. We’d also love to have youth on the planning committee!

We meet on Zoom every 2-4 weeks to collaboratively make decisions about the timing/logistics of the Festival, design the submission process, collaborate on flyers/promo materials, and anything else that arises.

Planning committee members are also invited to review and make decisions on submitted abstracts, visit Chelsea classrooms, and provide support to youth.

As the Festival gets closer, we will meet more frequently (not more than 1x per week). There is no requirement to attend every meeting – you may contribute as much as you are able.

If you’d like to be involved in this capacity, or have a colleague you want to participate, please let us know at chelsearesearchfestival@gmail.com. We will be asking all planning committee members to fill out this When2Meet poll. Thank you!

Free Immigration Legal Help (MACI)

Dear MIRA Members,

We are excited to inform you about a new program that provides full legal representation in Immigration Court for income eligible immigrants. The Massachusetts Access to Counsel Initiative (MACI) fulfills an important need for immigrant legal services by hiring 24 new lawyers across the state.

If you are working with immigrants who need legal assistance you can direct them to call the MACI Intake Line at (508) 505-4588. Individuals that call the line will go through a 15–20-minute intake process. The hotline has access to a language line to assist individuals with limited English proficiency. After the intake is done, the MIRA Intake coordinator will refer eligible individuals to an available legal service provider for potential representation.

  • Detained clients can ask for intake starting on December 8, 2025, and non-detained clients can call the intake number currently on M-F 9-5 or Tuesday 12-7. 
  • Representation is FREE under this program to income eligible immigrants. 
  • Immigrants will receive full representation in immigration court.
