On Saturday, February 14, the Persisterhood of St. Joseph will hold its 10th peaceful protest at the intersection of Belt Highway and Frederick Avenue. The 'Love Without Borders' rally, taking place from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m., continues the group's active opposition to the Trump administration's policies, a movement they have sustained since March 2025.

Why it matters

The rally aims to promote solidarity, neighborly love, and national values while denouncing federal immigration enforcement actions. It follows two January events where hundreds gathered in freezing weather to protest the actions of federal agencies following the tragic deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.

The details

Organizers will lead chants and serve as peacekeepers to ensure a nonviolent atmosphere. Supporters are encouraged to dress warmly and bring their own signs or flags, though some signs will be provided on-site. This milestone event aims to transform the community's energy into a public display of unity.

  • The protest will take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026 from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
  • The Persisterhood of St. Joseph has held 9 previous protests since March 2025.
