Join Us!!
When: Sat, Jan 10th 11 – 1 pm
Where: Columbia Center Blvd, in front of the mall, parking near JC Penny’s
Wednesday, January 7th, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.
A broad coalition of groups across the country is calling for a coordinated Ice Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10th and Sunday, January 11th to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.
A core principle behind all ICE Out For Good events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. All events should be held in public spaces or on public property.
We are encouraging all to wear black to honor those lives lost at the hands of ICE and to say NO MORE!! Please bring a non-perishable food item if you are able.
Join us for a peaceful demonstration. We look forward to standing with you.

Hello all! Apologize for the delay, but it is that time of year. Thanks for all you do and we have to keep up the good work to continue what we have accomplished over the last 10 months! This will be the last “Do Something” of the year, so happy holidays to you and hope you and yours have a nice time together. Things continue to be hard for each of us in different ways, let’s remember to support each other in any way we are able. Very much look forward to getting back to work in January. There are plenty of resources that have daily ideas. One is Chop Wood, Carry Water, Hopium Chronicles, and the indivisible site is also good. Links in this email.
