OCCUPY MINNESOTA
united together. solidarity forever.
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA
Stop Unconstitutional Attacks on Our Communities
Our government is being weaponized against us, with recent ICE raids targeting vulnerable communities. Yet, Minnesotans stand united, embracing the compassion that defines our diverse state.
We honor our ancestors and support all individuals, regardless of race, gender identity, nationality, or ability. This is a fundamental human right protected by the Constitution.
Minnesota has faced intensified scrutiny and rhetoric, especially under the Trump administration, which has aimed to vilify our communities. We affirm that this is not an issue about Minnesota or its people, but rather about upholding justice and liberty for all. We will continue to stand strong, protecting ourselves and each other in the face of adversity.
CONTINUED ACTION.
EXTENDED LEGACY.
The Occupy Movement stirred up many discussions, theories, and questions about how it would impact the future. While we may have been removed from The People’s Plaza, one can be assured that unity built and solidarity extended within The People’s Plaza cannot be removed from the occupier. When we first occupied in 2011 we witnessed a revolution in the American heart and mind. Countless individuals began thinking critically about their government, corporate corruption, and the lack of representation for “the 99%”.
We came together as a community and worked to establish long-lasting friendships, comradery, working-groups, and other networks that continue create change into today. Since the occupation of Minnesota we have worked together to help create and realize many other brilliant movements of focus and actions together, such as Occupy Homes, Strike Debt, Fight for 15, March Against Monsanto, March Against Corruption, Idle No More, NoDAPL, Black Lives Matter, to the now emerging No Kings movement along with countless others.
As a community, we then saw a liberated and empowered Minnesota stand up and voice their outrage after the murder of George Floyd. The people not only – once again – owned their streets in a subsequent uprising, but they continued to be agents of change. Indeed, many of us have been there through it all in body, spirit, or both. We continue to support and play a role in social change today. We are grateful for those who are joining in and especially those who are returning to the fight.
Our efforts continue to be brought to you by the same people who originally helped bring you the Occupy Movement. We didn’t stop doing what we do – and we won’t stop doing what we do as we can’t stop… and we won’t stop. We run things, things don’t run we. Don’t take nothing from nobody…
