Much of the resistance work in Minneapolis is being led by women. These women come from all backgrounds and walks of life—immigrant women, mothers, teachers, healers, Black and Brown women, queer and trans women, grandmothers, young girls, women of faith. Minnesota women who are simply fed up have gotten involved. They organize, support, nurture, fight, love, protect, and contribute in whatever ways they can.
It seems the federal government underestimated how much the women of the Twin Cities were ready to mobilize when they selected Minnesota.
"Coming out into a crowd of women who want to help can help facilitate trust in some of the former detainees. And it can feel welcoming in a way that—by no fault of their own—I don’t know that a crowd of men would have the same impact,” said Catherine Economopoulos, an organizer with Haven Watch.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and others say this surge of federal agents is "retribution" for the state’s blue politics.
