Drop the Charges on the Minnesota 15!Hands off Anti-ICE Protestors!

End I.C.E. Terror!
A Solidarity Fundraiser for the MN 15

Saturday,
November 14
4:00pm
New Haven Federation of Teachers Hall&nbsp;
267 Chapel St, New Haven

Featuring:
Callum Robinet, Minnesota 15 Defendant, Union Electrician and Organizer
Laurie Sweet, CT State Representative, District 91
Maria-Threese Serana, Union teacher and New Haven City Councilor, Ward 9
Michael Mapuvire, leading youth organizer at Citywide Youth Coalition
Leslie Blateau, President of the New Haven Federation of Teachers, Local 933
Alyce Coleman, CT Reach Fund and CT Civil Liberties Defense Committee
Nancy Burton, UU Social Justice Council Chair, Meriden branch of MIRA

In the early months of 2026, thousands of people around Minnesota gathered together to protect their neighbors from ICE's campaign of terror, halting the hated operation “Metro Surge.” Months later, the Trump administration indicted 15 of those people on federal charges for their involvement in rapid response, mutual aid, and protest.

The persecution of the Minnesota 15 is an effort by the federal government to punish, intimidate, and divide the movement that stood up to their violence. It is nothing less than an attempt to criminalize solidarity and protest. Building the strongest possible defense campaign for the 15 indicted is essential to protecting the anti-ICE, labor and immigrant rights’ movements at large.&nbsp;

On Saturday, 11/14, join neighbors and movement leaders to hear from Minneapolis anti-ICE, labor, queer liberation organizer, and IBEW member Callum Robinet, one of the Minnesota 15. Callum will be joined by other movement leaders and elected officials from around the state to speak out against this brazen attack on our rights, and to raise support and funds for their defense.

All proceeds go to the legal defense fund of the MN15.

Endorsed by: The CT Committee to Defend the MN15, New Haven Federation of Teachers, SEIU Local 1973 (4Cs), Hands Off CT, Teamsters 1150 Pride Caucus, Wesleyan Association of American University Professors, CT 50501, Citywide Youth Coalition, CT DSA, Socialist Alternative, CT Labor for Palestine, CT Civil Liberties Defense Committee, Workers’ Voice, Surveillance Off Our Streets—SE CT, and New London Civil Liberties Defense.&nbsp;
