We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

The thing I want people to know right now and always is that there's something for everybody to do.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

And I probably sound like a broken record about that if you engage with me on any platform.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

But that is so critically important to me that everybody understands that because it is easy to look on in horror from afar.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

It doesn't feel good, but it's easier to do that than to decide to be incensed enough to take action.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

And we all have to be filled with enough rage or love or some mix of the two to do something and to do something every day.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

This is a moment where we have to understand that a singular act on a singular day is not enough.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

This requires consistent action, consistent education, consistent community building, because we have to build momentum.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

Momentum is necessary to actually grow the kind of force we need to reverse what we're dealing with now.

And so, yeah, I want people to know that they can take action on pushing Governor Walz to institute a statewide eviction moratorium so that people who've had to shelter in place and hide out from ICE are not thrown out from their houses on February the 1st, thereby putting them at even more risk, both in sub-zero temperatures and of being abducted by ICE.

HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

I want people to know that they can take action by calling their senators and making sure that they refuse to fund ICE through the DHS appropriations bill.

HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

that they call for Kristi Noem to be impeached, that they call for investigations of the murders of Rene Good, of Keith Porter Jr., of Alex Preddy, and of all of those who have died both in protest of ICE and in detention centers.

HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

I want people to take action in following the

HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

organizers and leaders and organizations on the ground in Minneapolis, like Natives, like the Indigenous Food Lab, Minnesota 5051, like Georgia Fort, who's an incredible independent journalist who is on the ground and from there, like Nikima Armstrong, who her and Chantel were arrested for the protest.

of the church being led by an ICE officer, the Sahan Journal, Hazen Fairbanks, and then following what those folks say to do, right?

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

Don't just puff up the follower numbers, right?

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

Those people are giving you stuff on their stories, on their posts all the time.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

They're giving you things to share, places to donate, things to donate, supplies that are needed, information that needs to be shared out so that we can get in front of the lives of this regime.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

There is something for everybody to do.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

And I don't care where you are.

We Can Do Hard Things
HOW WE ALL BECOME MINNESOTA: BRITTANY PACKNETT CUNNINGHAM

We need you to do it.
