Showing Up for Racial Justice organizes white people to build the political will needed to end white supremacy. We do this through political education, direct action, self reflection, and community-building, and by following the example and leadership of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) partners.
While we have numerous areas of ongoing work, we are mobilizing actions more rapidly as ICE activity continues in the Twin Cities. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates on campaigns and actions.
We are actively working with our partners on a corporate accountability campaign, focused on getting Target to ban ICE from their stores and parking lots and to support immigrant employees and shoppers’ 4th amendment rights. Learn more about the campaign and demands.
