John,
Today, ICE shot and killed another person in Minnesota. A 37-year-old VA nurse in south Minneapolis put his body between women protesters and federal agents. ICE killed him for it.
This is the second Minnesotan that ICE has killed in a week for protecting their neighbors. But the people of the North Star state won’t stand down. And we are with them.
If you’re heading out this weekend, a few simple tips:
- Go with a friend if you can, or let someone know where you’ll be.
- Dress warmly and comfortably — layers, good shoes, and gloves help.
- Bring water, a snack, and anything you need to stay comfortable.
- Keep your phone charged.
- Pay attention to your surroundings and trust your instincts.
If you’re supporting from home:
- Check in on friends and neighbors.
- Share information from trusted local sources.
- Offer practical support if people ask for it.
- Take breaks when you need to.
Take care of yourself. Take care of each other.
