Breaking! Bad Kitty Exposé part 17 saves X with more CTI League Files!

We have EU Censorship, that also targets the USA, & is all about winning for the left!

They consider the USA, populist right, a threat to the EU which makes us a target too!

The AMITT/DISARM framework (CTI League Files) used for EU, US, & now global censorship, was co-created by a leftist org, Alliance4Eu, that was paid by the EU to promote anti Brexit support & pro leftist ideologies including sustainability, LGBTQ, & migrants etc.

Both the EU & Parliament funded these censorship & covert ops against the RIGHT. They even hired both EU AND US citizens & had a Philly branch!

Let’s provide a few quotes here:

Omri Preiss - managing dir Alliance4Europe, SMIU, & FOUNDING board member of DISARM Fndn:

“In 2019, he became managing director of Alliance4Europe, a platform that pools the strengths of pro- European initiatives to combat right-wing populism.”

Alliance4EU’s SMIU page:

“Help the European cause! The far-right is gaining influence. One of their most relevant areas is social media where they are attracting millions of moderate voters with populist points and fake news.”

Narratives of Impact:

“By using the Social Media Intelligence Unit, Alliance4Europe (DISARM) will be able to target content using social media platforms' own algorithmic uplift.”

Scientists for EU:

“is a campaign by UK scientists to keep the UK in the EU.”

Mike Galsworthy of Scientists4Eu, Netwar System, and SMIU:

“We've built a very effective online community of local pages that far outguns Brexit Party & all political parties.”

The Alliance4EU, of DISARM Fndn, officially ran the Social Media Intelligence Unit (SMIU). This was partly funded by parliament, and was funded also by the EU itself thru the Narratives of Impact (NOI) program.

Mike Galsworthy of Brexit hating Scientists4EU is the Head of the Social Media Intelligence Unit (SMIU) ran by the Alliance4EU.

Alliance4EU also co-founded an European Hub for Civic Engagement where activists & orgs congregate & get new assignments.

The European Hub was initiated by the Berlin think tank Das Progressive Zentrum (The Progressive Centre) & co-created by Alliance4EU & Citizens for EU.

The SMIU services were integrated into the Hub by Alliance4EU.

Hub supporters are:

-German Foreign Office
-Soros Open Society EU
-BMW Fndn
-Stiftung Mercator

A precursor of SMIU was Netwar System which was supported by Scientists4EU but also shared Alliance4EU staff.

James Patrick, previously of Scotland Yard, Netwar System & Alliance4eu SMIU, powered SMIU with Socint intelligence.

“(Socint) was deployed for the first time in full when the company won an SBRI tender to work on a UK Gov project.

We are also working closely with an established client base which includes a law enforcement focused NGO in the USA & a political party based in England.”

(Law enforcement NGO in the US? What?)

Socint on behavior change & voting:

“By processing info from a range of sources in an ethical way, we are able to deliver rapid insight into geographical & demographic groups, using beneficial psychology to create behavioural change.

We can also accurately model behavioural outcomes, from votes to downloads.”

Socint also used Intelligence & law enforcement tactics on citizens:

“The Social Intelligence Model draws on extensive operational experience of the National Intelligence Model designed for law enforcement & intel services, adapted to the social & political landscape & accounting for progress in the fields of big data, psychometrics, & hybrid warfare.”

“Where the intel process identifies an active disinfo campaign, the combat technique follows exactly the same process, identifying the counter-message & deploying an engagement campaign.

Videos of 2 SMIU folks:

More to follow including sources.
Narratives Of Impact - Social Media Intelligence unit. Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

Now, Netwar System and its CTI League/DISARM links existed a very long time before this program even started. Obviously parliament supported this also. Expect more on this later.

“Alliance4Europe is a non-profit civic start up, working to build a democratic, sustainable Europe for and by citizens. We bring together pro-Europeans and pro-democrats to foster cooperation, have a louder voice and activate citizens”

Target group:

🔹“passive positives” - individuals with a positive view of democracy and diversity who do not feel represented in political institutions and tend not to participate. This is based on research commissioned by Alliance4Europe in 10 countries in 2018-2019.

🔹A subset of “passive positives” labelled the “invisibles” are individuals who have a positive view but do not receive any political or current affairs communications in their day to day life.

🔹Engaging in dialogue with an audience that has a critical view towards the European Union. Reaching them through specific influencers who have dedicated reach and tailoring, and provide information and opportunities for dialogue that rarely take place.

🔹Specific marginalized or underrepresented communities facing intersectional social exclusion, including migrants and refugees, people with disabilities, as well as women and LGBTI+ people.

Here’s the Alliance4Eu about page. It lists funders including Parliament. It also lists their team and board.

Their values:

“We work to foster civic
participation, to protect promote democracy and fundamental values, and the Sustainable
Development Goals.”

Digital Intelligence:

“Designed by specialised intelligence analysts, the Social Media Intelligence Unit (SMIU) monitors social media data from across Europe.

The platform enables civil society users to have a louder voice
online. It enables an effective response to disinformation and hate-speech through
positive narrative setting.

SMIU also provides for an innovative media literacy
and digital citizenship education and training tool. Building a more resilient democracy requires innovative approaches creating an inclusive, democratic internet.”


And here’s the Disarm Foundation partners that now works with the US and EU governments.This includes the Alliance4EU.

Let’s get into some quotes now. Omri and Alliance4EU works with the Disarm Foundation which is responsible for censorship. This quote is pretty damning.

Omri Preiss on Helping Civil Societies Reclaim Power:

“While working as a human rights lobbyist and for a Member of the European Parliament, the BMW Foundation Responsible Leader felt a strong need for the EU to address the rise of rightwing populism.

In 2019, he became managing director of Alliance4Europe, a platform that pools the strengths of pro-European initiatives to combat right-wing populism.

It emerged during a BMW Foundation leadership program and has received Foundation support since its inception “We are the connecting thread between civil society organizations,” Preiss says.

Alliance4Europe has a Social Media Intelligence Unit that was designed by an ex-Scotland Yard expert to counter hate speech. The organization is also part of the European Hub for Civic Engagement, which is building a digital platform to make it easier for civil society to share resources and work together. “We coordinate resources, capacities, and cooperation. We provide digital intelligence. We create campaigns to activate citizens to vote for a more democratic, sustainable Europe. And we develop new civic engagement resources.”

By enhancing digital citizenship, the Alliance4Europe is helping to advance democracy, sustainability, and fundamental rights in Europe. “We’re bringing pro-European forces together to give them a louder voice,” Preiss adds. “This way, we can build a more resilient democracy.”

VIDEO - Here, Mr Europe, aka Alliance4EU SMIU, James Patrick, is worried about Texas Windmills. News flash, our windmills are none of your concern.

He stated that windmills don’t freeze in winter. Well don’t know which pictures he’s talking about, but my Texas friends saw frozen windmills. It was an unprecedented storm. Newsweek confirmed it too.

Then after this, he went on a conspiracy binge stating that the fault for lack of electricity was strictly due to gas. And republicans lied because we all hog the gas investments. 🤪😹

——————————/

Next another Mr Europe, Omri Preiss, didn’t like what US conservatives were posting about BLM. Suggesting that our election should be interfered with because we didn’t meet EU inclusivity standards. (All while funded by the EU.)

The “Society Burning: Tactical Assessment” states organised actors are using social media to paint a picture of “Marxist subversion of the American dream” by the protest group in order to generate support for the re-election campaign of US President Donald Trump.

Managing Director of Alliance for Europe, Omri Preiss, said: “The SMIU’s focus is on real-time actionable insights which can be used to amplify civil society voices online We saw a necessity to publish our findings more widely in order to hopefully spark some positive acton to redress this in the US and in Europe. This is a global conversaton with impact and relevance for democracy the world over, including in Europe. Our goal is to create a more inclusive democratic debate and counter disinformation and hate speech.”

This next quote acts like it’s wrong to want to fund our police and electioneer on it? Hey, de-funding the police sux safety wise.

“The “Defund The Police” campaign is also being USED by the Trump campaign and its supporting network to secure the well-established Law and Order vote ahead of the November election.”

Quote from the Allisnce4eu SMIU page:

“Help the European cause!

The far-right is gaining influence. One of their most relevant areas is social media where they are attracting millions of moderate voters with populist points and fake news.”



Recall Mike Galensworthy of Scientists4EU headed the SMIU.

“Scientists for EU is a campaign by UK scientists to keep the UK in the EU. Science is vital for the UK's economy and quality of life. Science is also at the heart of global, social challenges that face us all.

Scientists for EU is a very active social media campaign.”



Board Member of Alliance4EU, AC Grayling:

“Its stated aims are (snip) to campaign for the promotion of democracy, the sustainable development goals, fundamental rights and civic engagement. 

The Alliance’s Social Media Intelligence Unit (SMIU), involves monitoring and analysing social media activity across Europe, and RESPONDING to disinformation and hate speech.

In the European context, far-Right populism, fake news and systematic misinformation campaigns are direct threats to political stability, all three hugely potentiated by social media.

Alliance4Europe runs the European Hub for Civic Engagement, an online forum for content sharing, access to funding, advocacy, community building and campaign coordination.”

🔥🔥🔥Breaking bad Kitteh exposes a little bit more of the rot linked to the Trump coup! Learn this, because it’s gonna get a lot worse.

As previously exposed by me, Simon Clark of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) moved to the US to join the Trump resistance right after the 2016 election. Well, I now have his pre-election Twitter account. He’s a huge anti Trumper and hung out with the Never Trumpers pre election and not just after.

CCDH are the folks trying to kill Musks X, and helped write the UK DSA that censors conservatives.

Recall Simon Clark’s wife was Obama’s London fundraiser and even met Obama at an event he and his wife both chaired for Obama.

Hillary’s VP pick, Tim Kaine, slept in Simon Clark’s home for his fundraiser. His wife also worked at orgs for Hillary’s election.

♦️Drum roll, I found a web page that shows a few interesting unknowns on Simon Clark:

- Deleted @SimonLondonVC Twitter account
- Served on board of Hope not Hate USA
- Served on (TIM) KAINE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

YES! He was besties with Trumps 2016 competition! I only have three names for this council and he was one.

So what does the old Twitter account show? Major linkage to the NEVER TRUMPERS. And it’s not just linkage as I’ll show you later. 🤘🏻

So who was in Clark’s tweeting circle?

- Mark Malloch Brown - cofounder International Crisis Group - Global Board Soros Open Society - Chairman SMARTMATIC elections division.

- Anne Applebaum - Renew Democracy, Integrity Initiative

- Garry Kasparov - Renew Democracy

- David Axelrod - Obama senior advisor

- Peter singer - New America

- Michael McFaul - You’ll see!

- David frum - You’ll see

- Rick Wilson - Lincoln Project

- Etc.. There will be more on the above folks too. 😉

Here’s the link to his previously modding “history”.

Simon Clark of the Center For Countering Digital Hate moved to the US to join the Trump resistance.

But as I will show you, he was always anti Trump even before Trump won in 2016. And Simon deleted the evidence (Twitter account).
Here’s an August 2016 page from Simon Clark of the Center For Countering Digital Hates Twitter Account.

The dude hated Trump.

Here’s a few tweets that Simon Clark retweeted:

🔹Michael McFaul from Michael D Weiss:

“Overlooked angle: Trump Embraces Putin and Alienates Rust Belt Voters with Eastern European”

🔹Rick Wilson

“Trolling Level, Grandmaster” (on Obama)

🔹Jon Lovett

“A racist eating fast food with a knife and fork on a private jet is a pretty good summary of where the GOP is at”

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Minnesota riot connections to the Chinese Communist Party!

As you are all aware from my past work, Minnesota was a Narrative Initiative test lab state. And the Chinese Communist Party partnered, Atlantic Council, was one of several funders.

You see, the Atlantic Council is in fact partnered with the CCP and the Center For American Progress! There’s multiple pieces of evidence on this.

This Arabella New Venture fund brainwashing org was created not long before the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Tim Walz’s ex Campaign manager and executive director of Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board was once also director of Our Minnesota Future. Our Minnesota Future was a part of the brainwashing Narrative Initiative.

Our Minnesota Future included Anti Ice COPAL which is a part of the signal network and the same goes for the terrorist org, CAIR.

Copal’s parent organization is the Immigrant Defense Network.Image
Image
Keep plowing thru the subthreads for tons of CCP evidence.

The Atlantic Council was involved in:

🔹 Integrity Initiative Muh Russia bull
🔹Narrative Initiative
🔹CTI League Files
🔹 First Draft News - Googles first major US and Global censorship org.

The narrative initiative used Minnesota as a test state. The Integrity Initiative in hacked documents was also shown to be heavily active in MN.

YES THE CCP PARTNERED ATLANTIC COUNCIL HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING THAT AFFECTS US ADVERSELY.

@HarmeetKDhillon
@PamBondi
I’m gonna give you a short cut here. And remember, my research has expanded greatly since 2022.

For example, Google was found to have created the first major US censorship org, the First Draft Consortium, and later renamed to the GLOBAL First Draft News.

Minnesota Nursing Home employee threatens MAGA patients. Maybe this threat isn’t so idle, they probably chit chat at work.

Interestingly, the director of MN nursing homes standards board is a past Tim Walz campaign manager and CAIR associate.

The Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board is ran by Tim Walz’s 2018 campaign manager who worked with the terrorist org, CAIR at Our Minnesota Future beginning in 2018.

Ex campaign manager, Leah Solo, was previously a director at Our Minnesota Future, which had 22 member orgs they colluded with. One was CAIR.

Sources to follow
Tim Walz’s ex campaign director and now head of Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board was director at CAIR partner, Our Minnesota Future.

“Tim Walz:  Leah Solo
(June 7, 2018 succeeding Nick Coe)  Started on the campaign as outreach director.  Director at Our Minnesota Future.  Candidate for state Senate District 44 (Plymouth) in 2016.  Political director of the SEIU Minnesota State Council; started there as outreach director in Dec. 2012.  Deputy campaign director for the Minnesotans United for All Families.  Worked four cycles for DFL candidates including campaign manager on Mark Ritchie's 2010 run for Secretary of State, and political director on Tim Walz's campaign.  Grew up in Mankato.”

archive.is/IDP1wImage
Now this gets even better. Anti Ice and CAIR are built into everything imaginable in MN.

The, Our Minnesota Future, conglomerate ran by Tim Walz past campaign manager and now executive director of the Minnesota’s Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board not only worked with CAIR, but anti ice COPAL too.

Ilhan Omar even secured funding for COPAL. (See my past work for COPAL).

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! The Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) are linked to the UK intelligence cutout, the Integrity Initiative. In fact, they hang out with Chris Steel of the Russian Trump Dossier and Anne Applebaum of the Integrity Initiative. When together they discuss how populist leaders (like in the US, Poland, and Hungary) are bad for liberal democracy.

First off, Damian Collins of CCDH was included in the Integrity Initiative leaks. Few know this.

Like this wasn’t bad enough. Damian Collins and Imran Ahmed of CCDH hang around with Orbis’s Christopher Steele (suspected integrity initiative) and the Integrity Initiatives Anne Applebaum.

Damian Collins and Imran Ahmed formed an org for covid disinfo called Infotagion along with UK Labour of all things. But who else?

Karen Kornbluh of the Alliance for Securing America (think Russian bot hoax of their Hamilton68) and the CIA’s radio free Europe.

Video - Infotagion host Damian Collins of CCDH with Christopher Steele, and Anne Applebaum discuss how populism in Hungary, United States, and Poland are bad things.

Ya think Chris steel had a motive, eh?

Can this seriously get any worse? Most definitely because as soon as I get my strength, CCDH gets exposed for running a coup upon America.

These folks helped write censorship laws going after Elon Musk, and they are the devil.

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! Bad Kitteh destroys the UK’s Keir Starmtrooper! The US government led, Open Government Partnership (OGP) started by Obama is still operating global shenanigans, and the UK and Australia are both part of it! Censorship and anti populism are part of the package, thus why they are both colluding to ban X! This org was dismantled by Trump in his first presidency, but the seditious left is still running it!

Yes the OGP has been removed from the US government, but we now have this treasonous democrat org globally controlling countries! If this isn’t a Logan Act violation, I don’t know what is! They must be charged! @AGPamBondi @EdMartinDOJ

Even better yet? Keir Starmtrooper has agreed to co-chair this treasonous US Logan Act violator!

Yes, the Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953) is exactly the statute that criminalizes unauthorized private citizens colluding or negotiating with foreign governments/officials in a way that interferes with U.S. foreign policy or disputes.

Logan Act:

- It prohibits any citizen (not authorized by the U.S. government) from carrying on correspondence or intercourse with a foreign government or its agents

- with the intent to influence that foreign government's conduct in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat U.S. measures.

Video 1 - UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy Addresses the 2025 OGP Global Summit and recognizes their new co-chair position

Video 2 - Sanjay Pradhan CEO of OGP - 77 countries trying to prevent the populist right and their “disinformation “.

The UK and Australia is illegally colluding globally with the US far left to thwart the right, and Keir Starmer and Australia are part of this!
The government org, the OGP was dumped by Trump. The radical leftist communists kept it rolling. The treasonous Keir Starmer is celebrating and joining this Logan Act violator.

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) has confirmed the UK government will co-chair the 74-country transparency and accountability initiative from October 2026 to October 2027.

Yeah Brazil, the only other country to take on Elon Musk. And an original OGP member. Way back to the Hillary days.

“The UK will follow the Government of Brazil as government co-chair, with a focus on democratic resilience, shrinking space for civil society, online disinformation, and illicit finance”
opengovernment.org.uk/2025/12/01/uk-…Image
Here’s an Open Government Partnership invitation to Keir Starmer in July 2024, and yes he sent someone. Starmer is out to get populists. He joined this racket. See next post.

“In a world where democracy and open government face unprecedented challenges, amidst the rise of populist authoritarianism and kleptocracy, deepening conflict and systemic challenges such as climate change, the UK can be a beacon of hope and a leader in reversing the tide. We
count on your personal leadership and that of your government in championing open government values at home and abroad.

🔥🔥🔥Immigrant Defense Network - I was Hot on the trail! Thanks to my earlier work, I’ve now found the newest, and very large, MN anti ICE and protest network! And yes, it involves orgs that I’ve already discussed, but it includes the ACLU, plus more too! I also have how they operate!

It seems that COPAL is now running things. And Ilhan Omar and Amy Klobuchar even once had taxpayer funds directed to them! And Ayada leads, is well, leading things!

This is a secretive network of over 100 orgs called the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) m. I’ve found as many of the 100 that I could. And it seems that many are also the pro Palestinian Marxist left.

Now remember, this is part of the 2020 George Floyd Network, so they are built for rioting too.

♦️So let’s get into the details of the Immigrant Defense Network now.

COPAL stands for Copal mn Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina. In 2025, The Bush Fndn helped establish the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) when they gave $995,000 to COPAL.

This is not the Bush family that we are familiar with, it’s Archie and Edyth Bush of MN. And its Fndn was founded in 1953.

There seems to be Soros Open Society funding also. And Ryan Perez, is the director of COPAL.

“The IDN built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, and trained by IDN partner organizations.

IDN members patrol the streets, sifting through tips to find those that are “credible or verified” and sending alerts when needed by text, email and phone calls to its constitutional observers.

A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network.

Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.

The IDN had been on high alert in the wake of large-scale operations in other U.S. cities. To prepare, it had established a campaign called Adopt a Corner to protect high-risk areas and send out alerts.
“People are going to be documenting, they’re going to be verbally upholding civil rights, they’re going to be asking if ICE is on the scene that they’re presenting the proper warrants and documentation,” said Ryan Perez, COPAL’s organizing director. “They’re just upholding people’s civil rights all around.”

♦️ IDN Members

The organization has a seven-member steering committee composed of a variety of both large and small immigrant advocates and human rights groups. They include:

- ACLU Minnesota
- Ayala Leads
- COPAL
- Minnesota Interfaith Coalition on Immigration (ICOM)
- Land Stewardship Project
- Minnesota 8
- The Advocates for Human Rights

Affiliates

- Center For Popular Democracy
- CAIR Minnesota
- Unidos MN
- Black Immigrant Collective
- Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid

Now the Center For Popular Democracy is as radical as they come. And they have been partnered with many far left groups for resistance work.

Here they even worked on a Democrat Attorneys Generals Association project with Obama’s OFA!Here’s the members:

“MoveOn, Indivisible, Organizing for Action (OFA), the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA), The Collective PAC, Flippable, The Arena, Center for Popular Democracy Action, National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), Latino Victory, Progressive Turnout Project, NewFounders, MobilizeAmerica, Sister District, Wall of US, Working Families Party, Resistbot, Stand Up America, Democrats .com”

🚨Before I begin, I’m adding extremely pertinent information. We have Tim Waltz and additional Amy Klobuchar linkage here. There’s also McKnight Fndn funding I didn’t see earlier.

Edwin Torres DeSantiago, the former political director for Gov. Tim Walz, Leads the Immigrant Defense Network.

“Edwin Torres DeSantiago was described by the Star Tribune last month as the manager of the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN), a project of Comunidades Organizando El Poder y la Accion Latina (COPAL), which is one of several Minnesota organizations behind “direct action trainings” which purportedly inform residents, “how to read judicial warrants, and contribute to a repository of data for legal challenges by recording agents’ conduct.”
Attendees also learn, “whistle codes for summoning crowds,” and organizers provide, “links to rapid-response clearinghouses,” according to the outlet.

IDN itself held a training session on Tuesday in Saint Paul, part of its Brave of US Tour that instructed attendees on becoming,”Constitutional Observers to protect and defend our immigrant neighbors.””

“DeSantiago also worked as Minnesota’s full-time COVID-19 Vaccine Outreach Director, and during the 2020 campaign he worked for both U.S. Senators Tina Smith (D-MN) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), after previously working for Smith’s campaign in 2018.”

“Other donors include the McKnight Foundation, who provided COPAL with $350,000, “for the establishment, strengthening, and tool creation of the Immigrant Defense Network,” and the Northwest Area Foundation, who provided“$100,000 to support development and expansion of the Immigrant Defense Network through public outreach, rights education, mental health training, emergency response services, and regional collaboration across the Upper Midwest.”

Essentially after Trump was elected, the Immigrant Defense Network (IDN) was born. The locals usually know the details first.

“Immediately following the 2024 presidential election, the community advocacy group Communities Organizing Latine Power and Action (COPAL) reached out to partners to strengthen ties. Those discussions led to the formation of the IDN, which has expanded to include more than 100 immigrant, labor, legal, faith and community organizations dedicated to advancing the constitutional rights of Minnesota’s immigrant communities. 

Our network spans multiple counties across the state of Minnesota,” Torres Desantiago said.

The IDN has built infrastructure that responds rapidly to immigration enforcement operations throughout the state. It allows the IDN to verify information and deploy individuals trained in its constitutional observer program. These observers are the first responders to ICE and other immigration enforcement actions, trained by IDN partner organizations to exercise their legal rights when documenting federal agents in public.

“For many, we became the most reliable source of information,” he said. “We were sharing even with local agencies, because we were on the ground.”

A Signal chat with every trained constitutional observer in the network and organization leadership is activated. Alerts are sent to partner organizations, which then alert their own email databases, allowing the news to spread beyond the IDN’s immediate network. 

Documenting ICE actions is only the first layer in the IDN’s response. Once constitutional observers record immigration enforcement, that information is passed on to the network’s legal partners, who can use it to craft immigrants’ legal defense.

Perez said the Nov. 18 IDN response proved that the Twin Cities can offer meaningful resistance to immigration enforcement.

The IDN sent a leadership delegation to Los Angeles to be trained by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network on how to adapt their Adopt a Corner model, Torres Desantiago said. In addition, members from the Center for Popular Democracy will soon come to Minnesota for two days of training with IDN.

We need more people trained,” Torres Desantiago said. “We have about 2,000 people all over the state, but we need 10,000 people minimum to make sure we have enough capacity.”
