I just got off of a morning prayer call with multi-faith clergy in Minnesota. Over 1,000 clergy and the many faith communities they represent are calling for a day of truth and freedom. I will share their demands and some actions you can take in solidarity with them below. Thanks for listening to voices from Minnesota and standing in solidarity with our neighbors (source).
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA
DAY OF TRUTH & FREEDOM
JANUARY 23
MARCH @ 2PM COMMONS DOWNTOWN
RALLY @ 3PM TARGET CENTER
RESERVE YOUR FREE RALLY TICKET
Minnesotans are coming together in moral reflection and action to stand together against the actions of the federal government against the state of Minnesota. The ICE “surge” that cost the life of Renee Nicole Good is violating the Constitutional and human rights of Americans and our neighbors. It is time to suspend the normal order of business to demand immediate cessation of ICE actions in MN, accountability for federal agents who have caused loss of life and abuse to Minnesota residents and call for Congress to immediately intervene.
Friday, January 23rd will be a statewide day of non-violent moral action, reflection: no work, no school, no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action.
WHY TRUTH & FREEDOM
A free and democratic people depend upon our leaders being rooted in the truth. Repression depends on lies. Freedom depends on a shared Truth.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON JANUARY 23rd?
There will be a unified, statewide pause in daily economic activity. Instead, Minnesotans will spend time with family, neighbors, and their community to show Minnesota’s moral heart and collective economic power. This means:
- No work (except emergency services)
- No school
- No shopping or consumer spending
There will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis at 2:00pm.
WHAT MINNESOTANS ARE DEMANDING.
- ICE must leave Minnesota now.
- The officer who killed Renee Good must be held legally accountable.
- No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget and ICE should be investigated for human and Constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.
- We call upon Minnesota and National Companies to become 4th Amendment businesses, cease economic relations with ICE and refuse ICE entry or using their property for staging grounds.
