SIGN NOW: Stop Trump’s War On Minnesota. Get ICE out of our communities now >>
John, Trump is openly threatening to turn the U.S. military on the people of Minnesota by invoking the Insurrection Act. [1]
Take a second and sit with that – because this is one of those moments where you have to ask: is this real life?
Using weapons of war against our friends, our neighbors, and our communities is something that should be completely off the table in our democracy, period.
We should all be free to exercise our right to dissent from an administration that has slashed our healthcare to pay for trigger-happy, unaccountable federal agents storming our neighborhoods.
But Trump is manufacturing chaos and fear in Minnesota, then pointing to the fallout to justify escalation. It’s straight out of the dictator’s playbook.
We never expected to be asking this, yet this moment demands it. Join us to tell Donald Trump: No War On Minnesota >>
Trump is now testing how far he can push – how many troops it takes to “control” a population and shut down opposition. There are already nearly five times as many federal agents in Minneapolis as there are local police. [2]
He’s trying to make an example out of Minnesota.
He wants us to throw its large, vibrant immigrant communities under the bus. He wants us to look the other way, abandon our fellow Americans, and pray we won’t be next.
We’re not falling for it. We’re speaking out with one voice as one multiracial democracy: No occupation of our cities. No intimidation of our neighbors. No military crackdown on protest.
Join Common Cause in demanding an immediate end to this dangerous escalation. No War On Minnesota. Get ICE out now >>
Thanks for all you do,
The team at Common Cause
