Another Singing Resistance
alt text
A photo of singing protesters in downtown Minneapolis. The top of the image shows some skyscrapers. On the right is part of the Westminster Presbyterian Church where we started. The protesters line the whole block. In the foreground is a sign that reads "Stop the Violence"
Today's singing action was planned to tell ICE agents that they can quit and come over to the good side. More than 1500 of us stopped in front of downtown hotels where they are known to be staying to sing to them songs telling how they don't have to keep being the bad guys.
It was a nice end to a day that started with agents illegally* staging in Powderhorn Park where they got really scared by us calling them names so they had to use tear gas and pepper spray and call in back up to help them get out of the park where they were staging illegally while telling _us_ to leave. I have pictures of that, but they were sent to the park board and the county attorney and I don't want to make you lovely people see them.
