Sing Down the Doors at Target

Fifteen or so of us from the Columbus Mennonite Church and elsewhere gathered yesterday (2-22-2026) at 2:00 p.m. at the Target store at the Graceland Shopping Center in Columbus, Ohio for a "Sing Down the Doors" protest.

Yesterday's event had been hosted by the recently-formed Columbus chapter of a North American organization named Mennonite Action.

Mennonites, fellow Christians, and friends across North America are holding public, nonviolent disruptive worship services at Target stores across the United States to call for Target to end its complicity with ICE.

As people of faith, and as Mennonite Christians, we cannot be silent in the face of racist, supremacist authoritarian violence — from Palestine to Minneapolis. We have a different vision to proclaim. We love our neighbors. We welcome the stranger. We know God’s love has no borders.

There have been "Sing Down the Doors" protests at Target stores all over the country; below is a link to additional information about the "Sing Down the Doors" protests.

We unexpectedly gathered immediately inside of the main entrance of that Target store at 2:00 p.m., sang for ten minutes or so, and then were asked to leave (which we did).
