A legal observer in Cold Spring urged us to share that on 2/5, an ICE agent threatened to kill them. The agent purposely stood in front of their car and used the bogus fear of being hit to justify the threat. As the news cycle turns its eye away from MN, we will not forget.

Today, Senator Champion and I had our bill heard in Judiciary committee to enable Minnesotans to sue for civil and monetary damages for constitutional violations by federal agents. We can’t move on from Operation Metro Surge without allowing those who were harmed to seek justice.
…can we take his seat too?
I proudly joined his daughter Santita Jackson on her podcast last year, a movement leader who is carrying forward Rev. Jackson's legacy and our shared mission to grow multi-racial coalitions, and center working people to eventually realize full civil rights in America.
We lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for true justice and equality, and he crucially centered economic justice throughout his work. The Rainbow Coalition and his many campaigns paved the way for people like me to stand up and to not only organize — but to lead.

Senator Omar Fateh Statement on ICE Withdrawal From Minnesota SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Senator Omar Fateh (DFL-Minneapolis) released the following statement today after Tom Homan announced the removal of ICE and Border Patrol agents from Minnesota: "ICE agents finally getting out of Minnesota is only the beginning of restoring the rights and livelihoods of people harmed by this invasion. Far too many Minnesotans were unlawfully detained, assaulted, harassed or imprisoned by these masked, unaccountable agents.
In my district, two of us, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed. Minnesota is proud of them, and of other community members for standing up to Donald Trump's police state by bearing witness to their crimes and protecting neighbors with time, donations and resources. The effect of ICE chaos in the streets, combined with missing and terrorized people on schools, hospitals and small businesses has been devastating. Next, we need real accountability for the perpetrators and the leaders that sent them here, and help for the Minnesotans they harmed. That means honest investigations into violent crimes committed by ICE agents, passing legislation to empower Minnesotans to sue the agents and agency that wronged them, and reinvesting in communities to stabilize small businesses, household budgets and neighborhoods traumatized by this lawless invasion."
My statement on the ICE withdrawal from Minnesota.

Really excited for this Minneapolis School Board campaign!
My name is Christin Crabtree, and I'm running for Minneapolis School Board - At Large.
There are so many important ways to plug in right now, but if you're looking for one that's about building towards the flourishing schools and city we all deserve, I'd love your support.
