¡Súbele, súbele! 🔥What an amazing and inspiring night at Cloudland Theater!

The legendary Alice Bag and her band absolutely tore up the stage. Through music and storytelling, she sang about the Chicano Moratorium, East Los Angeles, performed a punked-up Los Panchos bolero, and delivered the powerful “No Means No,” a reminder that mutual consent is non-negotiable.

Alice Bag is a pioneer of Chicana punk—an artist whose influence can be felt across generations of musicians and activists. Her passion, authenticity, and commitment to social justice continue to inspire.🔥

Thank you, Alice Bag, for blazing the trail and continuing to light the way. ❤️✊🎸

📢 ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

MAÑANA — Friday, January 23
📍 The Commons Park, Downtown Minneapolis
425 Portland Ave S. | 2 PM (CT)

ICE’s violent and lawless enforcement surge is underway in Minnesota — This escalation has disproportionately targeted Latino, Indigenous, and immigrant people, continuing a long history of racialized policing, surveillance, and state violence. These actions terrorize families, destabilize entire neighborhoods, and strip people of basic dignity and freedom.

This violence has already taken the life of Renée Nicole Good.
We cannot move forward as if this is normal.

Human life is sacred. Violence against any neighbor — especially violence rooted in racism and exclusion — diminishes us all. This must stop.

📣 WHAT HAPPENS ON FRI, JAN 23
A statewide Day of Truth and Freedom — a unified pause in daily economic activity to show Minnesota’s moral heart and collective power:
✘ No work (except emergency services)
✘ No school
✘ No shopping or consumer spending

Instead, we gather with family, neighbors, and community — and march and rally together in downtown Minneapolis.

🗣 THE DEMANDS OF MINNESOTANS
1️⃣ ICE must leave Minnesota now.
2️⃣ The officer who killed Renée Nicole Good must be held legally accountable.
3️⃣ No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget.

📆 HOW TO PARTICIPATE
✅ Mark your calendar — January 23
✅ Make a plan to not work, shop, or attend school
✅ Encourage your school, workplace, and community to stand with you
✅ Use your voice: call, message, post, and speak publicly about why you are joining the Day of Truth and Freedom

🕊️ We march for Renée.
🕊️ We march for families torn apart.
🕊️ We march against systems that treat Latino, Indigenous, and immigrant lives as disposable.

🕯️ In Memoriam | En Memoria de Renee Nicole Good 🕯️

Festival de las Calaveras honors the life and spirit of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother, poet, and beloved member of our community whose life was unjustly taken during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Her death is a profound loss, and we hold her family and loved ones close in our hearts as we grieve as a community.

We also acknowledge the ongoing, systemic pain being felt across Latino, Indigenous and immigrant communities — families torn apart, people living with fear of separation, of racial profiling, and aggressive enforcement. Many continue to experience trauma simply for seeking safety, stability, and the right to live in dignity.

As a festival rooted in remembrance, cultura, and collective care, we reaffirm our commitment to safety, dignity, and solidarity for all people. We call on our comunidad to look out for one another, to speak up against violence and injustice, and to move with compassion and accountability.

Recordar es un acto de amor: we dedicate our ofrendas and velas to those we have lost — and to the movement for justice, equity, and protection for all families. 🕯️🤍

No one is illegal on stolen land.
