Our monthly vigils always include a Call to Action. Check this page for each month’s action items to see where you can take a step to support the work and our immigrant neighbors.
Here is the Call to Action for August!
- ICOM needs volunteers! As our immigrant neighbors are being targeted more every day, ICOM needs your help to craft communications, accompany folks in our AID program, and to help conduct advocacy campaigns. If you are interested in any role, no matter how large or small, please reach out to us immediately at info@mnicom.org
- Minneapolis residents:Call your City Council Member and ask them to support the “Stand With Immigrant Families Resolution.” This resolution would publicly declare Minneapolis’ opposition to the ICE campaign of mass deportations. (If you are a St Paul resident, contact your City Council person and thank them for passing the resolution already!)
