Enough is enough. As a community, now is the time to come together and decide how we will stand up to discriminatory policies against Muslims and Latinos. We will not let this stand in our community and the place we call home.
We are calling all concerned peoples to meet at noon Saturday on the corner of Fourth Street and Litchfield Avenue in downtown Willmar for a peaceful protest.
We need action from our representatives at the city and state level. We need to be assured you are fighting against these immoral policies.
We need reassurance from our city's police department. We need to know that even while President Donald Trump calls on local police forces to oppress Muslim and Latino immigrants, you will be there to protect us.
We need our city representatives to represent us. Come to this event to share ideas of what we do at the city level to protect our communities.

We want religious leaders, of all backgrounds, to teach us. Come and share how you will provide sanctuary for those being oppressed.
Lastly, we want those affected by these immoral policies and other community members to come out in a show of support for the community we all love.
He will not divide us.
