Standing Up in the 10th District

“Protests of ICE, Minneapolis shooting grow in the suburbs” — Many friends of Tenth Dems helped, we got the word out, and people came out, including to a protest in Wheeling that featured several elected officials from the 10th District.
Trump and Noem and ICE do not reflect 10th District — and American — values. Let’s keep showing up, including helping to elect Democrats to stand up to this extremism we continue to see.
