Target is based in Minneapolis and has refused to take any stand, even after ICE abducted one of its employees and after it murdered an innocent man today
Community members in Minneapolis have begun sit-ins and boycotts against @Target, demanding it defend its customers, employees, and community members against ICE
Everyone in the US should follow their lead
SIT INS, PROTESTS, BOYCOTTS, SICKOUTS AGAINST TARGET AND ALL OF ICE'S CORPORATE COLLABORATORS

NEW: Power research has a long history of supporting movements and campaigns, from civil rights organizing to antimilitarism, from student protest to labor.
@twittlesis + @popdemoc looked at this history and why it's useful today.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.
In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply.
Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.

"Cultural strategy operates on the premise that in order to change laws, policies, and social practices there first needs to be a change in how people think, feel, and relate to one another."
Cultural strategies have long been central to the success of social movements. Ciara Taylor of the @kairoscenternyc uses prose, images, and songs to capture the role of cultural organizing in the ongoing struggle for a free Palestine.

A white supremacist faction in Georgia is pushing a Jim Crow anti-voter strategy to silence Black and Brown Americans. They’ve even passed a ban on giving water to voters waiting in line — so that’s exactly what we are going to do.

For sure! I quote @BillFletcherJr here about the difference between governing power (winning office) and state power (controlling the bureaucracy) in @ForgeOrganizing - it's a very tough question.

Rest in power Jane McAlevey. The world has lost one of its most skilled organizers for collective working-class power. The Dig conducted two interviews with Jane: with @danieldenvir in 2019 and with @micahuetricht in 2023. Listen. thedigradio.com/tag/jane-mca…
