Minnesota Faith Leaders Mobilize Hundreds for Jan. 23 Anti-ICE Rally
Faith leaders in Minnesota are mobilizing for a significant event on January 23. They will hold a news conference in the Twin Cities to announce the participation of numerous places of worship in a movement named A Day of Truth and Freedom. This event encourages individuals to refrain from working, shopping, or attending school on that day.
Objectives of A Day of Truth and Freedom
The primary goal of this initiative is to advocate for the immediate cessation of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota. Organizers emphasize that clergy members, as community leaders, are speaking out against constitutional and human rights violations caused by these operations.
Event Details
- Date: January 23
- Location: Downtown Minneapolis
- Start Time: 2 p.m.
Alongside the rally, several Twin Cities businesses and co-ops plan to close in solidarity with the movement. A variety of labor unions have also pledged their support. Participating organizations include:
- St. Paul Federation of Educators
- Minneapolis Federation of Educators
- Unite Here Local 17
- SEIU Local 26
- ATU (Amalgamated Transit Union)
This grassroots initiative exemplifies a unified stand against current immigration enforcement practices, reinforcing the need for community action. As this story continues to evolve, further updates will be provided by Filmogaz.com.
