National & Global Call for
Minnesota

Anchored by

Minnesota Black Migrant Coalition

Purpose:

The National and Global Call for Minnesota is a 90-day activation mobilizing tangible national and international solidarity into shared action in support of Black organizations and leaders throughout Minnesota.

Minnesota is home to Black communities long on the frontlines of racial justice, including the 2020 response to the murder of George Floyd. Building on that legacy, this effort responds to intensified federal enforcement and civic strain while interrupting the cycle in which attention fades and resources disappear.

The National and Global Call for Minnesota’s purpose is not only to end the federal invasion of Minnesota, but to intentionally strengthen and resource the Black ecosystem that sustains community life — building lasting power and infrastructure that ensure safety, prosperity, and a healthy democracy for all people.
