Minneapolis, Feb. 16, 2026: Labor & Community Mass March and Rally – Day Out for Democracy!

About this event

Location

Stewart Park

2700 12th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55404

Monday, February 16

1:30 – 3:30pm CST

Join us as we honor the dead and fight like hell for the living!

Minnesota remains under occupation. Armed and masked federal agents continue tearing through our communities – both in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. They continue to detain immigrants and peaceful observers regardless of citizenship or immigration status.

Despite these long weeks and the federal government violating our constitutional rights and even shooting and killing two of our own – Minnesotans remain resilient and will continue to do so for as long as it takes.

Join fellow Minnesotans from all walks of life for a march through Minneapolis as we call for an end to ICE’s occupation, support the small businesses that have had our backs through this crisis, and demand accountability.

Program beginning at 1:30PM March begins at 2PM

Our Demands:

• ICE Out of Minnesota immediately.

• Justice and accountability for Renee Good, our Union Brother Alex Pretti, and all victims of ICE’s cruelty and violence.

• Rescind ICE Funding and REAL immigration reform.

• Invest in recovering and rebuilding our communities.

• Restore sensitive locations (like schools) protections that were unlawfully repealed by Executive Order in January of 2025
