For too many months, we?ve witnessed this fascist regime use ICE to terrorize communities across the country. What?s happening in Minneapolis is larger and more escalated than what we continue to experience in DC, but the goals are the same: to intimidate communities, scare immigrants, and rip families apart.

This regime wants us to turn away from each other and isolate, but what we?ve seen instead is a mass mutual aid movement. On the streets from DC to Minneapolis, community members are bearing witness, taking care of each other, and putting their bodies between federal agents and their neighbors. That is mutual aid in action and the thing that will get us through this horrifying moment.

We said it once, we?ll say it a thousand times:

• We want ICE abolished and out of our communities. 
• We want National Guard members off our streets. 
• We want elected officials to put down the talking points and join the people in the streets who are putting their lives on the line every day for each other.

Generations before us risked their lives to fight for freedom and protect their communities from state violence. It?s our turn to be brave and defiantly believe a better world is possible.
