Places to sit on Nicollet Mall: 1. Peavey Plaza, lots of concrete 'benches", a few metal chairs, and the blue Adirondack chairs. One of my fave spots in the city.

Cecil Smith, MHA (landlord lobby), putting his argument against an eviction moratorium in the least palatable terms possible: "Chilling effects on capital flows to our market."
"Even this discussion is damaging our ability to attract resources for future development."

ICE OUT.
ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.
They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Yo--if you take a Lyft or an Uber; and your driver talks about feeling unsafe, or scared, maybe tip them big. It's not much, maybe it just makes you feel better, but I don't think extra cash ever hurt anyone. Show some solidarity and support.

5 of us went to the Quarry Target at noon to ask them to call for an end of the ICE surge into our city & state; to become a 4th Amendment Workplace & to call for Congress to abolish ICE. And almost every shopper we talked to outside is supportive. The _only_ ICE we want here is the slippery kind!

Maybe they're like the doctor: if you call back every day and try to reschedule to a sooner date, they will.

I know folks are already boycotting Target. AND I remember organizing around them; to push them to change their stance on Ban the Box. That change helped us pass that legislation here. Time to go talk to a manager; tell Target that MN needs ICE out. Toolkit here:

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.
