The Nation Nominates Minneapolis for Nobel Peace Prize
The Nation magazine has nominated the city of Minneapolis and its people for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. This nomination recognizes the city’s resistance against violent authoritarianism, specifically in response to the deployment of federal agents targeting immigrant communities. Despite facing harassment, detention, and even fatalities, the people of Minneapolis have responded with peaceful mass demonstrations, calling for the withdrawal of federal agents. Furthermore, they have demonstrated mutual support and care for targeted neighbors through various acts of aid and solidarity.
