🔊 At #ALightInTheStorm, Muna led us in a powerful Somali chant to ground us in this moment:

👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿 Today, today, today. Today is a big day!

A big day to stand up for each other.
A big day to choose courage and solidarity.
A big day to unite behind a People’s Agenda. ✨

✨ However you mark this time of year, we’re grateful for this community and the power we’re building together. May the New Year find us rested, renewed, and ready to continue the fight for our People’s Agenda!

🗣️ Louder for the people in the back!

Powerful words from ISAIAH & @faithinmn.org Co-Executive Director Minister JaNaé Imari.

💥 We will never stop fighting for one another. That’s what our People’s Agenda is all about. #ALightInTheStorm #LoveThyNeighbor

📣 Now we’re ready to fight authoritarianism, organize our communities, and advance a People’s Agenda built from thousands of conversations held across our state over the last year. Let’s go! #ALightInTheStorm
December 17, 2025 at 7:08 PM
People showed up from faith communities, childcare centers, manufactured home parks, small businesses, rural towns, suburbs, city neighborhoods, and every walk of life.

Together, we named the truth: the storm is real. But so is our power. 💪

🧵❄️ It was zero degrees outside. Inside, thousands of Minnesotans came together at a statewide convention hosted by ISAIAH and @faithinmn.org, learning how to be #ALightInTheStorm — choosing courage over fear, solidarity over division. 🕯️
December 17, 2025 at 7:08 PM
🌟 On Dec 13, 5,000+ Minnesotans from every race, faith, and corner of our state gathered for #ALightInTheStorm.

📣 In a year of rising costs, ICE raids, and authoritarian attacks, we chose each other — and a People’s Agenda rooted in dignity, affordability, and hope for all.

✍️ Dear Somali Minnesotans: We love you, and we’ve got you. 🤝

We’re not buying the scare tactics — not now, not ever.

We’ll stand with you and protect you while you pray.

📣 Because in Minnesota, we show up for our neighbors in times of need. No exceptions. #GreaterThanFear
December 12, 2025 at 10:00 PM
📣 This week in Rochester, the Muslim Coalition of ISAIAH hosted WE ARE HOME, a solidarity event and potluck. #GreaterThanFear

Despite dangerous and hateful attacks from President Trump, our community won’t be divided. Minnesota is all of our home. 🫶

🔊 Thank you, Pastor @obyballinger.com! Trump wants to distract from skyrocketing healthcare costs by stoking fear, but Minnesotans aren’t taking the bait.

We reject these attacks on our Somali neighbors. Together we’re #GreaterThanFear! 📣

To our Somali Minnesotan neighbors: We see you. We love you. We stand with you. 💖

📣 Because in Minnesota, we show up for our neighbors in times of need, no exceptions. #GreaterThanFear

🙏 On a snowy Friday afternoon in December, Minnesotans bundled up and gathered outside mosques across the state — offering peaceful protection while our Somali-American neighbors prayed.
December 6, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Minnesotans are known for three things:

❄️ Shoveling each other out in the snow
💜 Sticking with the Vikings through every season
🤝 Showing up for our neighbors when they’re under attack

📣 If you come for one of us, you come for all of us. That’s just who we are. #GreaterThanFear

📣 This week, ISAIAH leaders showed up with allies at MSP Airport to say: End deportation flights. #DeICEFlights

Pastor Jane McBride is right. Jesus himself was a refugee. Our faith traditions teach us to offer shelter, not inflict suffering. 👏
December 5, 2025 at 4:53 PM
🙏 Today in Minneapolis, dozens of clergy from many faith traditions showed up in solidarity with our Somali neighbors. Rev. Dr. Jia Starr Brown said it best: “We’ve got their back.”

🫶 Together we are #GreaterThanFear!

Calling on #mnleg to #FundChildcare so it works better for all of us!

Gratitude isn’t easy in a world shaped by political cruelty. Yet through our collective action, we remind each other despair does not get the final word. And for that, we are truly thankful. 🌟 #HappyThanksgiving

Throwback to the Black Church Summit in mid-October, where over 500 leaders came together to cast a bold vision for our youth, our housing, and our healthcare! 📣
November 26, 2025 at 4:00 PM
❤️‍🩹🩺 Recently, ISAIAH members from St. Louis Park and Hopkins met with Hennepin County commissioners to discuss healthcare cuts and fight for solutions that make sure everyone can get the care we need.
November 25, 2025 at 4:00 PM
📣 Last night, Southern MN ISAIAH leaders shared powerful testimony with the #mnleg about skyrocketing drug costs, a $100k wrongful bill that led to tragedy, and 18,500 low-income Minnesotans waiting for dental care.

It’s time to build a healthcare system that leaves no one behind. 💪
November 21, 2025 at 5:36 PM
📣 Leaders with ISAIAH’s Manufactured Home Residents Collective recently met with @ag.state.mn.us to lift up the real issues happening in our parks.

We’re organizing for true stability for every Minnesotan — no matter where we come from or how our home was built. 🏡
November 18, 2025 at 10:06 PM
The Manufactured Home Residents Collective has kicked off a month of action across Minnesota to win a Manufactured Housing Bill of Rights.

From Lakeville to Chaska, Mankato to Blaine and Inver Grove Heights, these leaders are showing up to take on private equity and win stability for all. 👏
November 15, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Look 👏 at 👏 these 👏 childcare 👏 leaders 👏 go!

@kcoumn.bsky.social just held powerful meetings in Minneapolis & St. Paul — bringing together childcare providers, teachers, parents, & community members ready to organize & demand that Minnesota finally #FundChildcare like we should! 👶👩‍🏫
November 13, 2025 at 8:57 PM
🤗 Five core leaders from ISAIAH’s Black Church Power Project and Co-Executive Director Minister JaNaé Bates recently returned from a weeklong training in Kingian Nonviolent Direct Action at Tennessee’s Alex Haley Farm.

What an honor to learn from those who fought for freedom alongside Dr. King!

📞 At a mosque in Maple Grove, leaders with the Muslim Coalition of ISAIAH are calling their networks & inviting them to build power with us! 💥
