WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a two-day call rooted in formation, accountability, and collective action.

On January 22, clergy and faith leaders will gather in person for:

  • Relationship-building and trust-building

  • Spiritual grounding and preparation

  • Orientation to what is happening on the ground

  • Formation shaped by accountability to those most impacted

On January 23, participants will:

  • Join and support the broader Day of Action

  • Show up grounded, aligned, and in solidarity with impacted communities

You will leave with deeper connection, clearer analysis, and tools to carry this work back to your own community.

TRAVEL & COMMITMENT

This call is urgent and emergent.

We can offer limited support for lodging and travel, but we ask participants to make their own arrangements if they are able. Our promise is simple: if you get yourself here, we will make sure your time matters—to what is happening on the ground and to the communities you serve.

COME WITH US

We are Minneapolis. We are Minnesota.
We are not one color, one gender, one faith—but we are beautiful.

We weather winters together that humble even the hardest dispositions. We know how to love and care for one another.

And we ask you now to come with us—armed with love, compassion, and hearts committed to justice—to fight for an end to occupation and violence, and to build the Beloved Community this moment demands.

RISK ASSESSMENT

Because we want to meet you with transparency in this moment, we have to advise you that right now, Minneapolis is not safe - for anyone. Agents are smashing windows, breaking doors, and stealing humans without verifying whether they are undocumented or even whether they are immigrants. As part of this “immigration enforcement” operation, the U.S. has incarcerated members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and refused to release information about the men unless the tribe “enter[s] into an immigration agreement with ICE.” Federal agents assault and abduct citizens regardless of their status, and then sometimes abandon their human targets miles from where agents took them. And they disappear other neighbors entirely. We cannot quantify the risk of visiting our cities because it changes daily. We also recognize that if everyone stays away, more terror will come here and elsewhere. We trust you to make the decision that is the best one for you, and if you do come, encourage you to bring a passport card or copy of your passport, birth certificate, or other proof of status.

MARCH (Multifaith Antiracism, Change & Healing) is a pro-queer group of multiracial clergy and faith leaders who cross faith traditions and spiritual practices to organize for freedom and liberation on Dakota land in the Twin Cities. We have lived into front-line relationships during the fight for marriage equality, for justice alongside the Black Lives Matter Minneapolis Chapter, at Standing Rock and Line 3, in the Minneapolis Uprising, and now, during Operation Metro Surge.

Today you can find us living our faith in online vigil spaces, singing at the scene of Renee Good’s murder even before ICE cleared the scene, rinsing tear gas from our eyes, and lifting up ICE agents in prayer even after they block us from offering pastoral care to detainees.
