When: Friday, September 13th, 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.
Where: Morris Public Library Mall, Morris, MN
You can RSVP Here.

We’re not going to let Trump, his administration or anyone on the right use fearmongering and scare tactics to divide us and turn us against our neighbors coming to the US for help. From caging children and families at the border and refusing them access to basic necessities like showers and toothbrushes, to launching raids that rip people away from homes where they’ve lived years or even decades, to attempting to illegally block asylum, it’s clear that the Trump administration has focused its resources on maximizing harm to immigrant communities.

Congress must fight the atrocities Trump is committing at the Southern border and throughout this country in our name. We’ll write, collect and deliver postcards to Congressman Collin Peterson asking that he cut the funding to the agencies that most drive these abuses, ICE and CBP. It’s time to let Peterson know that he needs to help pass a 2020 spending bill that finally puts an end to DHS’s ability to manipulate the appropriations process to expand the immigration detention and deportation systems.

Join us on Friday, September 13, 5:00 – 6:30 pm, on the Morris Public Library Mall, as we, along with other Indivisible groups all across the nation, rally together and voice our opposition to the continued funding of forces designed to separate families and destroy lives. We’re Indivisible and together we’re going to #DefundHate.

 After the rally, we urge everyone to attend the annual Lazos Dinner to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and show support for all members of our community. The event is Friday, September 13, 5:30 – 8:30 pm, Faith Lutheran Church, 108 W 5th St, Morris, Mn. Tickets sold at the door: Adults $10, Children $8. You can find more information below.
