Today, WIAOFC-MN & MIRAC went to the State Fair to confront Sen. Amy Klobuchar directly. We showed up because if you want our votes, then you need to answer to our communities. ✊🏾

Our demands are clear:

📢 Amy, you say you want Black votes, but when will you admit the harm you caused Black families who are STILL living with the consequences of decisions made during your time as Hennepin County Attorney?

When are you going to take accountability and repair the harm you and prosecutors caused Black families in Hennepin County including families like Cornelius Jackson’s? Cornelius has spent the last 20 YEARS wrongfully incarcerated and over-sentenced. When will you make that right?

We are also demanding that Amy Klobuchar:

✊🏾 Support making Minnesota a SANCTUARY STATE.

🚫 Support banning ALL 287(g) agreements that entangle local law enforcement with federal immigration enforcement.

💰 DIVEST FROM PALANTIR and stop supporting systems and corporations that enable surveillance and deportation.

📣 LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS. Stop avoiding the communities most impacted by the policies and systems you helped uphold.

And of course, once we disrupted and started demanding answers, THEY CUT THE LIVE. 🤔 But cameras were rolling on our end. 📸🎥

You can cut the livestream, but you can’t cut out the voices of the people demanding accountability.

Black families deserve answers.
Immigrant families deserve protection.
Our communities deserve elected officials who actually LISTEN.

NO ACCOUNTABILITY, NO BUSINESS AS USUAL.

🚨 COMMUNITY, WE NEED Y’ALL TO SHOW UP ONCE AGAIN! 🫶🏾

A local organizer who shows up TIRELESSLY for our struggles, our actions, our families, and our community needs all of us to show up for her family right now. 💯❤️

After her uncle was detained by ICE and deported back to Laos after more than 40 years in the U.S., his four children were left trying to adjust to their entire lives changing overnight. Their father was the breadwinner, and now the family is doing everything they can to make sure these babies are taken care of.

School is here, and these kids still need clothes, shoes, school supplies, and all the things children need to walk into that first day feeling prepared. 🎒👟📚

This is what COMMUNITY CARE looks like. The same people we see showing up time and time again for everybody else deserve to have us show up when they need us too.

Please look at the graphic, DONATE what you can, and SHARE SHARE SHARE! Even a few dollars makes a difference when we move collectively. ✊🏾

It takes a village, and right now, the village is being called on. ❤️‍🔥🫶🏾
I couldn’t update the graphics because I’m canva illiterate 😩

WHEW! What a WEEKEND! 🥹🔥✊🏾❤️🖤💚

Our WIAOFC-MN family was OUTSIDE all weekend showing what it looks like to build community, fight for liberation, support our people, uplift incarcerated voices, stand in solidarity, AND still make room for JOY. ✊🏾✨
🪩💃🏾 Friday Glow in the Dark Dance Party Fundraiser 🕺🏾✨

We kicked off the weekend dancing, laughing, celebrating, and raising funds to continue the work we do for wrongfully incarcerated and over-sentenced people and their families. ❤️

This work can be HEAVY, and we believe joy is important too. Being able to come together, dance, laugh, love on one another, and have a good time while supporting this work was everything! 🥹🪩💃🏾

💌📚 Saturday — Letters 4 Liberation ✍🏾📬

Then we got right back to the work!

Our community came together to write letters and send love, encouragement, and solidarity behind the walls. Incarceration is designed to isolate people from their families and communities, and Letters 4 Liberation is one of the ways we remind our incarcerated community; YOU ARE SEEN. YOU ARE LOVED. AND YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. ❤️✊🏾

We were also blessed to have the author of “Abolition Is Love” join us for STORY TIME! 📖🥹❤️ Having abolition, love, community, and liberation being talked about through books and storytelling made the day even more special. And our incarcerated author friend Prentis Jackson was represented in the building too! 📚✊🏾 A copy of his book was right there with us, a reminder that incarceration does NOT erase someone’s voice, creativity, talent, humanity, or their ability to impact the world beyond those walls. ❤️‍🔥

🧺🤝🏾 And our team showed up for the Solidarity Picnic!
Because our fight does not exist in a bubble. We believe in SHOWING UP for other movements, organizations, families, and communities fighting for justice and liberation.

Solidarity isn’t just something we say it’s something we practice. 🤝🏾✊🏾

From the dance floor 🪩💃🏾
to writing letters behind the walls 💌
to story time and uplifting our authors 📚
to standing in solidarity with our community 🤝🏾…
