ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Action

Location Details:

March starts in Commons Park (425 Portland Ave. S, Minneapolis) at 2pm local time.

As we have all seen in the news, on social media, or even in our own neighborhoods, ICE's violent and lawless enforcement surge is underway in Minnesota. It has cost the life of Renee Nicole Good. It continues to tear apart families, destabilize communities, and violate the freedoms of Minnesotans across our state.

We can't move forward as if this is normal. It is not. Human life is inherently the most sacred and violence against any neighbor diminishes us all.

This must stop.

WHAT HAPPENS ON FRI. JAN 23?
A unified statewide pause in daily economic activity:
+ No work (except emergency services)
+ No school
+ No shopping or consumer spending

Instead, we will gather with family, neighbors, and community to show Minnesota’s moral heart and economic power. We will also show up together to march and rally in downtown Minneapolis at 2PM

THE DEMANDS OF MINNESOTANS:
1. ICE must leave Minnesota now.
2. The officer who killed Good must be held legally accountable.
3. No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget.
These are moral common sense for a state that values truth, freedom, and life.

WHY OUR COLLECTIVE ECONOMIC POWER MATTERS
Our labor, time, and economic participation are powerful signals. A coordinated statewide pause sends a message that Minnesotans will not quietly endure fear and violence in our communities.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
+ Mark your calendar: January 23
+ Make your plan to not work, shop or go to school on 1.23
+ Encourage your school, workplace, and community to stand with you
+ Use your voice: call, message, and speak publicly about why you are joining A Day of Truth and Freedom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MINNEAPOLIS LABOR UNION DELEGATION AND LOCAL REGIONAL LABOR
BODIES ENDORSE JANUARY 23: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM
NO WORK, SCHOOL, OR SHOPPING

MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with regional bodies throughout the state, including the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation, the West Area Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council and the East Central Labor Council, have joined in solidarity to endorse a powerful unified statewide action on January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom. The Minnesota labor movement is united against the violent ICE occupation of our beloved cities that has directly impacted union members, our workplaces and our families.

Workers are essential for our communities to function. Since the ICE campaign of terror began, both immigrant and non-immigrant workers have feared for their safety when going to work, being at work, and coming home from work. Union members and our families are being illegally detained at alarming rates, with workplaces and schools facing increased challenges.

Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou, President of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, shared why union federations are joining this call:

“Working people, our schools and our communities are under attack. Union members are being detained commuting to and from work, tearing apart families. Parents are being forced to stay home, students held out of school, fearing for their lives, all while the employer class remains silent. Our labor federations are encouraging everyone to participate on January 23rd. It’s time for every single Minnesotan who loves this state and the notion of truth and freedom to raise their voices and deepen their solidarity for our neighbors and coworkers living under this federal occupation.”

Unions join the demands for the day that call for:

● ICE must leave Minnesota now.
● The agent who killed Renee Good must be held legally accountable.
● No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget and ICE be investigated for human and constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.
● Minnesotan and national companies to become 4th Amendment Businesses —
cease economic relations with ICE and refuse ICE entry or using their property for staging grounds.
