We refuse to give up.
We refuse to believe the lie that nothing we do matters.
We refuse to feel hopeless.
We refuse to allow despair to drive us into inaction.
We cheerfully refuse. by Leif Enger

In the #TwinCities #Minneapolis and #StPaul, protesters sing outside hotels that house ICE & Border Patrol:
"It's okay to change your mind. Show us your courage. Leave this behind. It's okay to change your mind. And you can join us, you can join us anytime."
