The senseless murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal immigration agents have ignited protests in Minnesota and beyond. Two American citizens were killed by agents during operations in Minneapolis, and repeated refusals to allow state investigators access to the scenes have made it clear that accountability is being blocked, not delayed.

Every community deserves safety, transparency, and accountability from law enforcement. What happened in Minneapolis is a failure of all three, and demands an immediate, independent investigation.

The Mass Blackout stands with Minneapolis families not to ask for transparency but to demand it. Our strategy is peaceful, disciplined, and rooted in total non-cooperation. We will not attempt to reform a system built on impunity. We are withdrawing the consent that allows it to function.

We call for coordinated, sustained withdrawal from routine economic participation. This is not protest. It is a demonstration of reality: commerce and governance do not move without our collective labor. Incremental appeals have passed their sell-by date. A red line has been crossed. The time to assert our collective power is now.

The biggest threat to fascism is community.

Rise up.
