Every day in Minnesota, immigrants are having their court cases dismissed by judges and the DOJ who all work for Trump. MIRAC members have witnessed how without fail, after every one of these dismissals, our immigrant neighbors are being kidnapped by ICE in the courthouse to be deported without due process. Join us to say this must end now!

Use your time to resist.
A line leads to:
Why?
The time for peaceful escalation has arrived.
The system survives on our labor.
By withholding hour labor and our purchasing power we refrain from supporting and complying with their organized crime.
How?
Avoid spending money over the holiday weekend. If you must shop, shop small, shop local, and shop ahead of time.
Avoid any "sales" put on by major corporations during this time.
Stay off platforms that earn money from your attention, YouTube, Meta, etc.
Take your bicycle or walk places instead of using your car.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wukih32i4vlgymos7o54jy7f/bafkreigcynmszhlcfajikrpva5gklhq3ysskxetrp52raebaq52feykyhi)
