Defend the 612: Involvement Form
Thank you for your commitment to show up for your neighbors and community. We refuse to allow federal law enforcement to harass and threaten our communities. There is already incredible hyper-local and decentralized organizing and response work happening in across the Twin Cities; we are hoping to identify, connect and support folks within their neighborhoods and cities in Minneapolis. **Please only fill out this form if you want to get connected with people in your neighborhood, or with people with shared interests.** We will attend to the priority of ICE Watch connections first.
Minneapolis -> Twin Cities
Right now, we have the capacity to support better connection within Minneapolis. We know that communities are being targeted across the entire Twin Cities. We hope to be able to expand into other areas at some point or work with existing organizers in your city, but for now: if you’re outside of Minneapolis and you fill out the form - we can't promise anything - but we will try our best to get you connected with other folks in your cities and neighborhoods who are share their information and share your interests, or who have decentralized groups already developed. **Please only fill out this form if you want to get connected with people in your city, neighborhood, or people with shared interests.**

Please select the level of leadership you're interested in, or indicate that you're not interested in playing a leadership role. We are hoping to provide as much coaching and support to coordinators as capacity allows.
I can support high-level coordination and systems-building (e.g., organizing committees, creating protocols).
I can support coordination of logistics and administration (e.g., data entry, spreadsheets, digital security).
I can coordinate doorknocks, 1:1 with my neighbors, and putting up flyers.
I am not interested in taking leadership at this time - just lending my support and plugging into work that already exists!
