With the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents today in Minnesota, organizers in the Twin Cities are calling for solidarity across the country.
They ask for rapid-response, community nonviolence training on Monday, Jan 26th before commencing direct action in your locality:
Non Violent Direct Action Training
We encourage you to adapt the following training materials to meet your organization’s needs.
- Non Violent Direct Action Training Deck [incoming]
- Non Violent Direct Action toolkit
- Target Toolkit
- Corporate Letter for Delivery
Encourage your members to take action together.
Here is the TOOLKIT for organizing tactics, shared by Minnesota organizers.
Here are MLK’s principles of nonviolence, which make a great addition to your community training, learning, and practice of nonviolence.
Please organize locally in community and share this information with other organizers and faith leaders you know.

Call Congress: No Funds for War with Iran
Congress has not authorized this war of choice, despite our tax dollars paying for it. With the Pentagon confirming the war costs at least $1 billion per day and the Trump administration may request additional funding, legislators need to hear from constituents that War is Not the Answer and we will not pay for it.
Did your Representatives in Congress vote against war in Iran?
23 years after the invasion of Iraq, the USA has launched another war of choice – this time against Iran. Thank your representatives if they voted to end the war in Iran. If they did not, let them know you’re disappointed.
