Nation Magazine Nominates Minneapolis for Nobel Peace Prize

The Nation - The cover of The Nation’s March issue highlights our formal nomination of Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize. A story inside explains that we made the nomination as a tribute to the city and its people, who have peacefully resisted the deadly violence that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s ICE and Border Patrol agents have brought to this Minnesota city. With mass demonstrations in below-zero weather, mutual aid programs to support immigrant neighbors, and legal strategies from Attorney General Keith Ellison (who contributes his own piece to this issue), the people of Minneapolis and their elected leaders have earned global recognition for pushing back against the Trump administration’s authoritarian machinations.
