What to Do This Week: Stand with Minnesota vs. ICE

[Derrick, People's Action]

Three steps you can take right now.

Policy Practice 2008,   Yesterday, the MAGA secretary overseeing ICE, Kristi Noem, said they were sending hundreds more agents to Minnesota after ICE killed Renee Good. Our local affiliate, TakeAction Minnesota, continues to organize to protect our neighbors and students in response, and we invite you again to donate to support their crucial work on the ground.   While Trump and his MAGA allies continue their assault on our cities and our neighbors, costs keep going up for things like food, utilities, housing, and of course, health care.    That ain’t right–we deserve a government that makes life better for everyone in this country, regardless of their race or where they live. We don’t need armed, masked agents killing people in the streets.    This week, in addition to asking for your donations for Minnesota, we have a set of actions you can take to push back against the building of more ICE jails, the attack on Venezuela, and rising utility costs. And, we want to invite you to join us as we talk to our neighbors about what they need, which is essential if we’re ever going to heal this country.    2026 is already one for the history books, so let’s make our mark together. I’m glad you’re with us.   In solidarity,   Derrick and the People’s Action team   Fund Health Care Not ICE Jails!  Members of Congress are considering a dangerous proposal to fund an additional 50,000 ICE jail beds. People can’t afford health care–and ICE is out of control. In the wake of the latest killing by ICE in Minneapolis, both Republicans and Democrats need to hear from you. Use our tool to tell them to fund care, not ICE jails. Stand Up to Trump's Criminal War on Venezuela Tell your elected officials to condemn the criminal occupation of Venezuela. We and our allies at May Day Strong are calling on every elected official in this country to condemn this administration’s reckless aggression. As working people of this country, we stand in opposition to the illegal attack and occupation of Venezuela and the deadly presence of ICE in our cities. Tell your elected officials to speak up now. People's Action: Fight Forward Phonebank Through MLK Day, we’re holding Fight Forward Phone Banks in-person and online. Together, we’ll have 1,000,000 deep listening conversations with multiracial working-class people across the country. We’ll connect around the daily struggles working people face, expose how the Big Ugly Bill harms our families, and lay the foundation to win big in 2026.
