Another Thing We Can Do

and we know they’ll be doing it for us when it’s our turn! This is a partial copy of their page.

Stand With Minnesota

Stay Informed

Testimonies

Minnesota is under occupation by federal agents from ICE and CBP, and they need your help.

Not just Minneapolis, and not just people protesting. Across Minnesota, ICE continues to stop, harass, and detain people regardless of their citizenship status. Normal life in Minnesota has been interrupted, as schools have been forced to close or go virtual, as people live in fear of leaving their homes or going to work.

Minnesotans are organized and activated to respond to this violence. But they need our help.

This directory of places to donate to all comes from activists on the ground, plugged into the situation. Everything is vetted, with the exception of individual GoFundMes (not everyone is in our networks, and we don’t want to pick and choose who is worthy of help.)

If you don’t have resources to give, please amplify what you are hearing and seeing about Minnesota, across social media, but also to your networks, friends, and family offline.

Read our testimonies and know what life is like in Minnesota right now.

Overwhelmed by the amount of listings here? Donate to the Immigrant Law Center of MN, who is providing assistance to hundreds of people with families detained by ICE, or the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund, a fund assembled by a coalition of Twin Cities Foundations committed to getting assistance out the door as quickly as possible.

Mutual Aid & Materials Purchasing

These funds are administered by neighbors helping their neighbors, not large organizations. This is one of the most direct ways to help and to get cash and resources into people’s hands quickly.

One thought on “Another Thing We Can Do

  1. Thank you, ali. The two immigrant support organizations were also vetted by Indivisible. (I had those links in an earlier post.)

    The testimonies are heartwrenching—especially the one in which the writer asks people to come there. I wish I could—and wonder if I’d have the courage to stare down these monsters, who are being paid by us!

    And how do we prepare ourselves for the growing possibility that it will happen in our communities?
