As immigrant communities across the United States face mounting attacks, COPAL is mobilizing Latines from across Minnesota for a Day at the Capitol, a day of celebration, advocacy, and direct action. This event is an opportunity for community members to engage with elected officials, make their voices heard, and push forward a legislative agenda that reflects the needs and dreams of our communities.
The day begins with the Orgullo y Poder Rally at 10:00 AM in the Capitol Rotunda, a celebration of community resilience and cultural pride. The rally will feature speakers, cultural performances, and personal testimonies that highlight the strength of our communities. Following the rally, participants will meet with legislators to advocate for policies that promote justice and inclusion and to hold elected officials accountable to the communities they represent.
