Minnesota organizers want us to help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Contact Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD.

Editors of America Magazine, a Jesuit magazine, come out against more funding for ICE “without reform.” www.americamagazine.org/editorials/2...

Hearing folks are bummed they missed the Eyes on ICE training - but good news, it's all recorded and public! We'll be holding more live trainings soon, but if you aren't one of 200,000 who already watched it, find it here: www.youtube.com/live/zqka9fU...

It is a horror that our nation would re-reward medals for the atrocity of genocide at wounded knee. Grateful that the #Catholic response aligns with Jesus' message. Let's reject the choice every celebration of violence and desecreation of the sacred. www.rapidcitydiocese.org/wounded-knee...
