Earth Day Rally

hosted by Arrowhead Alliance

When:

April 22, 4:00–5:00pm

Where:

Lake Ave & Superior St, Duluth

Join us this Earth Day as we take a stand against the Trump administration and the billionaire class who are exploiting Mother Earth for personal profit and gain.

Say NO to:

• Re-electing Congressman Stauber whose recently passed resolution overturned a 20 year ban on toxic copper-nickel sulfide mining near the BWCA.
• The proposed Hermantown Data Center which will pollute our region and use vast quantities of our precious water supply.
• The Trump administration's dismantling of government agencies such as the EPA and the Forest Service, including the closures of critical research facilities.
• Congressional Republican's attack on public lands utilized for recreation, hunting, and fishing as well as their blatant disregard for Tribal sovereignty and treaty rights.
• The list goes on and on...

We hope to see you there as we come together to show that Northlanders value Mother Earth over corporate greed!

*As always, this is a peaceful protest.

Native American Caucus Condemns Senate Vote Overturning Boundary Waters Mining Ban

"Friends of the Boundary Waters says that the Minnesota DNR still has the power to cancel the mineral lease, and they are calling on people to contact the DNR and encourage them to do so."

"Today, the US Senate revoked a 20-year mineral withdrawal protecting 225,378 acres of public lands in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness watershed from toxic mining on 50-49 vote. The move was led by Minnesota Republican Pete Stauber and paves the way to permanent pollution from a proposed sulfide-ore copper-nickel mine that Chilean mining giant Antofagasta has long sought to develop directly upstream of the Boundary Waters through its subsidiary, Twin Metals."

"Today is a dark day for our people and homelands — this battle is far from over.

"For thousands of years, our ancestors navigated these interconnected lakes and rivers. Today, millions come to paddle, fish, hunt, hike, dogsled, and pray. This is one of the most visited wilderness areas in the country. And it belongs to the public — not to foreign mining corporations.

"The science is clear: this watershed is vast, pristine, and interconnected. Sulfide mining threatens both fish and humans with mercury, endangers manoomin and psin — the good berry — wild rice — and risks drinking water for generations. Furthermore, it threatens our economy and jobs, outdoor stewardship, public health, and will have wide-reaching impacts on cultural, spiritual, and subsistence practices for future generations to come. Pollution doesn't stay put-it flows, and it bioaccumulates. It is not a question of if it will pollute irreversibly; it is a question of when.

"Stand with clean water. Stand with workers. Stand with democracy. Stand with Sovereignty. Stand with Minnesotans. If we protect the water, it will protect us. We remain committed to doing everything in our collective power to protect the Boundary Waters, a sacred place, and we will never stop defending our natural relatives."

— Members of the Native American Caucus in the Minnesota Legislature: Senator Mary Kunesh (DFL-New Brighton), Representative Heather Keeler (DFL-Moorhead), Representative Liish Kozlowski (DFL-Duluth), and Representative Shelley Buck (DFL-Maplewood)

No War with Iran from MoveOn

Support Warren & Sanders' Wealth Tax Bills

Add your name

Two major proposals have just been introduced in Congress, by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Both would tax the richest of the rich on their wealth (annually at 2% to 5%) and direct trillions toward supporting working Americans.

Two Bold Proposals to Tax Wealth Across the Land

"How can the U.S. reverse democracy-distorting concentrations of wealth and power? A federal annual wealth tax must be part of the equation.

"The richest 0.1 percent — the top one-thousandth of households, who are all worth over $50 million — have seen their wealth surge since the beginning of the 2020 Covid Pandemic. U.S. billionaires have seen their wealth double since 2019, with the top 19 U.S. billionaires adding $1 trillion to their wealth in 2024 alone."

Protect Wild Rice

Rise & Repair

"I am reaching out as a constituent to request your support for legislation to protect Wild Rice, our state grain, also known as Manoomin to the Anishinaabe and Psíŋ to our Dakota relatives...

"...the need for increased protections remains..."

Do States Have a Secret Weapon to Counter Trump's Forest Service and Medicaid Cuts Before the Damage Becomes Permanent?

& will the corporate overlords allow it?

"The federal government announced the destruction of the United States Forest Service via the same process of royal decree that this nation was founded on ending. So much for originalism, right? No floor debate, no public hearing, no vote. Just a piece of paper that ended 121 years of institutional history before most people had finished their coffee.

"The forests are one emergency. The health care system is another. The reconciliation bill that Republicans passed last year and that the president signed into law on July 4, 2025 cut more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid and ACA marketplace coverage.

"So here is what governors in blue states can do right now, using authority they already hold..."

Deputized for Disaster

How President Trump’s Supersized 287(g) Deportation Force is a Powder Keg for Law Enforcement, Our Communities, and Our Democracy

When:

April 23, 7:00–8:00pm

Where:

Online

ACLU's recent report, Deputized for Disaster, details how the Trump administration is drastically expanding the federal 287(g) program to transform state and local law enforcement into a national deportation policing force — fueling racial profiling, civil rights violations, and widespread fear in our communities and in communities across the country. Join Crow Wing County community leaders and ACLU experts for a webinar about our 287(g) report and how 287(g) agreements blur the lines between local policing and immigration enforcement in Minnesota.

..."if anything like this ever did become law, the cleanest single document would likely be a valid U.S. passport in your current legal name, because it proves citizenship directly. A REAL ID driver’s license would not, by itself, count as proof of citizenship under this proposal. People with name changes could be forced to assemble a full paper trail connecting birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, or court orders to their current legal identity."
