Dear MoveOn member,
As we all watched with profound horror at ICE's killing of Renee Nicole Good and the continued abduction of immigrant neighbors and physical assault of protesters in Minneapolis, organizations have been mobilizing to defend the local community from ICE's abuses.
One of those organizations is TakeAction Minnesota—a hub for Minnesota's progressive movement and a multiracial people's organization building power for a government and economy that work for all of us.
Right now, TakeAction is organizing nonstop to keep ICE out of schools and to keep students and families safe. Through their Minneapolis Families for Public Schools campaign, hundreds of local families are leading grassroots ICE resistance efforts, especially around ICE activity on school property and the importance of sanctuary schools.
And they need our help.
Will you rush $9 right now to power TakeAction Minnesota's work to organize and mobilize the local community to keep students and families safe during ICE's occupation of Minneapolis? 100% of your donation will go directly to TakeAction Minnesota.
Andra, Donald Trump is now threatening to send the U.S. military to Minneapolis to crack down on everyday people protesting ICE's violence, by invoking the Insurrection Act.1
Which means TakeAction's work of organizing and mobilizing will become that much more critical. Not just for Minnesota—but for the entire country.
If Trump can get away with flooding Minnesota's streets with masked ICE agents and sending armed troops against peaceful protesters, then he could come to your hometown next.
Which is why we must support local on-the-ground organizations who are doing the hard—but incredibly necessary—work of organizing their neighbors, family members, and friends.
Will you make a $9 donation to TakeAction right now? Remember, 100% of your donation will go directly to TakeAction.
One of the things that makes MoveOn special—and effective—is that when tragedy strikes, MoveOn members mobilize quickly to provide support on the ground.
When police killed George Floyd—less than one mile away from where ICE killed Renee Nicole Good—MoveOn members raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to bail out protesters who had been arrested en masse.
When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and left tens of thousands of people displaced, MoveOn members opened the doors to their very own homes to provide shelter for families.
MoveOn members have often responded with powerful collective action in facing crises, from devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine to supporting Palestinians in Gaza.
The philosopher Cornel West once said that "justice is what love looks like in public." If you are devoted to love, if you are committed to justice, here's something you can do now that will have immediate impact:
Will you rush a $9 donation to TakeAction—one of the organizations on the front lines in the struggle for justice in Minnesota?
Thanks for all you do.
