Sussex Visibility Brigade operates in Massachusetts as a criminal justice reform and immigrant rights organization, focusing specifically on the Roxbury and South Bay regions. The group documents and challenges Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and jail expansion projects through direct monitoring and public records research. Their resource hub maintains databases tracking local detention facilities, enforcement patterns, and policy developments affecting immigrant communities. The organization coordinates with University of Sussex networks to produce research briefs and policy analysis on alternatives to incarceration. Their published materials examine community-based mental health programs, housing access initiatives, and public safety investment models. The group provides verified data to residents, community organizers, and legislative staff working on criminal justice reform legislation. Sussex Visibility Brigade maintains an active presence at city council and county commissioner meetings related to detention facility funding and ICE cooperation agreements. The organization's documentation efforts support legal advocacy groups challenging enforcement practices in Massachusetts courts. Their archive includes detailed records of facility conditions, enforcement incidents, and community impact assessments used in policy discussions and legal proceedings.
