Reverend Jesse Jackson spent his life pushing this country to live up to its promises. Our Constitution was built for moments like this — when power feels heavy and people feel small. We the people still hold the power. We honor his legacy by continuing the work.

Congress is deciding right now whether to continue funding ICE — an agency with a long record of abuse, lack of accountability, and civil rights violations. 📞 Find your representatives 📧 Call, email, or submit a form ✊ Demand zero funding for ICE #NoICE #DefundICE #DefendDemocracy #GoodTrouble

Small but mighty crew standing up and speaking out today in Downtown Wichita. 🤘🏻✊🏻

A reminder that we are NOT gathering in person to protest today. Use the time you would've been standing on the streets to contact all members of Congress & tell them that ICE MUST GO! Find the email addresses and phone numbers of every representative here: defenddemocracyict.com/elected-officials

Another ICE-related shooting in Minneapolis. Very new and developing story so details aren't readily available yet, but this is going to be a heavy day for certain. We stand with the people of Minneapolis and their calls to shut ICE down. This is NOT the time to remain silent.

Due to extreme cold and dangerous travel conditions, we are canceling Saturday’s in-person protest for safety. This is not disengagement — it’s shifting how we show up for 1 day. Nearly a year strong. We’ll be back in the streets soon — safely and determined. In solidarity, Defend Democracy ICT

WPS Walkout Against ICE protests today from 2-3. If you're looking for somewhere to join others during today's Wichita Walks Out for A Free America protest, consider supporting these students in exercising their 1A rights!

We're aware of reports that 2 people were shot by federal officers in Portland last night. Details remain unclear. Coming just days after the killing of Nicole Renee Good, these events reinforce why truth, accountability, & nonviolence matter. This weekend we gather in remembrance, protest & peace.

It's not perfect, but here's an email and phone script to use WHEN (not if) you contact members of Congress about today's events unfolding in Minneapolis. Find your congressmembers here: DefendDemocracyICT.com/elected-officials

A reminder to those who are feeling shaken or upset by what happened in Minneapolis this morning: you are not alone. Community matters in moments like this. You are welcome to join us at any of our recurring protests, as well as any pop-up actions that may arise.

We’re aware of the situation in Minneapolis involving an ICE-related shooting at a protest this morning. We’re monitoring updates. Please avoid sharing unconfirmed information or amplifying fear. While we don’t expect impacts in Wichita, we know this news is unsettling. We are in this together.

Today marks five years since the January 6 insurrection. We stand with all those who defended the Capitol, feared for their lives while doing their jobs & every American who rejects political violence. Democracy is not self-sustaining. It requires vigilance, accountability, & civic engagement.

The U.S. bombing of Venezuela violates international law and bypasses Congress. Military force is not democracy. Bombs do not create freedom or stability. If the rule of law matters, it must apply to everyone - including the United States.
