- Welcome

March 16 at 7:00 p.m T-Bocks Upstairs Event Room
CONSTITUTIONAL OBSERVER training for potential ICE situations in our area – training for everyone (not a child friendly evening.)
Hosted by the Immigration Action Network

The training will be led by Nick Olson and Kate Rowe of the Land Stewardship Project and the Minnesota Immigration Defense Network. This session will provide practical guidance for community members, business leaders, and agri-business employers on how to safely and legally observe ICE activity in the area.

While much attention has focused on activity in the Minneapolis area, there has also been increased enforcement in rural communities. This training is specifically geared toward rural areas and will address:

What to do if you witness ICE activity
Legal and safe ways to observe
Proactive steps the public can take
How to respond in “What if?” situations

Saturday March 28 – NO KINGS III MARCH/PARADE!

https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/903251

MEET AT NOON – corner of Riverside Ave and East Water Street, then all marchers will parade with police escort down Water Street all the way to the College Drive Bridge/Carl Selland Wayside Park for a short rally. If you’d like to just wait at the bridge or the park on 5th Ave, that is fine too. The marchers/parade should arrive around 12:30 or so. COINCIDES WITH WEEKLY BRiDGE RALLY! BRING FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALONG!

This march is planned as part of the nationwide NO KINGS III Day and may prove to be the largest one-day march in U.S. history! In October 2025, over 7 million people marched nationwide, with over 2,700 events. We need to reach about 12 million this time to reach that magic 3.5% of the total population.

Since the Postville raid in 2008, Immigration Action Network has focused on direct accompaniment and support for our immigrant neighbors. Our volunteers provide essential services such as transportation to appointments, delivery of furniture and food staples, and quarterly legal clinics with immigration lawyers. We provide microloans to families in need and also have funds for emergency situations. We help to connect immigrant families to local resources and build relationships of mutual trust and respect.
