    ICE Out of Minnesota

    Day of Truth & Freedom

    January 23

    March @ 2PM

    Downtown Mpls

    Minnesotans are coming together in moral reflection and action to stand together against the actions of the federal government against the state of Minnesota. The ICE “surge” that cost the life of Renee Nicole Good is violating the Constitutional and human rights of Americans and our neighbors. It is time to suspend the normal order of business to demand immediate cessation of ICE actions in MN, accountability for federal agents who have caused loss of life and abuse to Minnesota residents and call for Congress to immediately intervene. 

    Friday, January 23rd will be a statewide day of non-violent moral action, reflection: no work, no school, no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action.

    WHY TRUTH & FREEDOM

    A free and democratic people depend upon our leaders being rooted in the truth. Repression depends on lies. Freedom depends on a shared Truth. 

    WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON JANUARY 23rd?

    There will be a unified, statewide pause in daily economic activity. Instead, Minnesotans will spend time with family, neighbors, and their community to show Minnesota’s moral heart and collective economic power. This means:  

    • No work (except emergency services) 

    • No school

    • No shopping or consumer spending

    There will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis at 2:00pm.

  • Morning Book Club

    • 11 Feb 2026
    • 10:00 AM
    • Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway)

    Join LWVSP Morning Book Club to discuss When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How American Cracked Up in the Early 1990s by John Ganz. We will meet at Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway) on Wednesday, February 11 at 10 am. You are welcome to join even if you haven't read the book. 


    "In When the Clock Broke, the acclaimed political writer John Ganz tells the story of America’s late-century discontents. Ranging from upheavals in Crown Heights and Los Angeles to the advent of David Duke and the heartland survivalists, the broadcasts of Rush Limbaugh, and the bitter disputes between neoconservatives and the “paleo-con” right, Ganz immerses us in a time when what Philip Roth called the “indigenous American berserk” took new and ever-wilder forms. In the 1992 campaign, Pat Buchanan's and Ross Perot’s insurgent populist bids upended the political establishment, all while Americans struggled through recession, alarm about racial and social change, the specter of a new power in Asia, and the end of Cold War–era political norms. Conspiracy theories surged, and intellectuals and activists strove to understand the “Middle American Radicals” whose alienation fueled new causes. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton appeared to forge a new, vital center, though it would not hold for long."

  • Morning Book Club

    • 11 Mar 2026
    • 10:00 AM
    • Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway)

    Join LWVSP Morning Book Club to discuss The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century by Tim Weiner. We will meet at Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway) on Wednesday, March 11 at 10 am. You are welcome to join even if you haven't read the book. 


    "At the turn of the century, the Central Intelligence Agency was in crisis. The end of the Cold War had robbed the agency of its mission. More than thirty overseas stations and bases had been shuttered, and scores that remained had been severely cut back. Many countries where surveillance was once deemed crucial went uncovered. Essential intelligence wasn’t being collected. At the dawn of the information age, the CIA’s officers and analysts worked with outmoded technology, struggling to distinguish the clear signals of significant facts from the cacophony of background noise."
