Reposting bc I can't stop thinking about the fact that, as a homeowner, I apparently deserve more than 6 months if I am in crisis and need to figure out how to get the money together to stay in my housing but my neighbors who rent apparently only deserve 30 days.
An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen
“immigrant communities attacked by the federal government will lose their homes” if mayor frey vetoes the bill to prevent evictions, says osman. “we have been attacked. a lot of immigrants were not able to go to work, even US citizens. vetoing this means you are not standing with the immigrants.”
Thank you, friend.
Thank you, Betsy!
Since the national media stopped paying attention to Minnesota, donations have absolutely cratered. There's so much more work to be done. Please ... don't look away.
Minnesota immigrant families are coming out of hiding from ICE, but the damage is done: jobs lost, savings gone, loved ones deported.
Recovery will take time. My neighbor group is still providing mutual aid to 44 households. Can you help?

This was just mentioned, first I had heard about it. 110 songs from Minnesota artists, and money raised goes to mutual aid efforts. It's bandcamp Friday and your dollars will go even further today!

Holy shit
Someone told me the other day they are spending time reflecting on what it means to be "an elder" and I was like, oh god, IT ME
Our little standwithminnesota.com team staved off multiple evictions today. I’m so proud of us. And the stories are so heartbreaking, and there’s still so much need.
If you can help, I’ll get it directly where it needs to go.

Sign up to pay a rent directly or send funds to my Venmo so our team can pay more rents. 💜🌻💜
I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.
If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72
Yesterday, the federal government filed sworn statements in our case Hussen v. Noem. The statements reveal the number of Operation Metro Surge (OMS) agents currently deployed in Minnesota and the number of OMS agents projected to be deployed in our state into March.
I am so excited by all the fundraising I'm seeing (thank you, thank you) ... but have no clue where to send families who actually need help with rent.
Am I missing a page somewhere?
Thanks for bringing attention to our hometown hero.
Ashley Fairbanks @ziibiing.com launched Stand With Minnesota standwithminnesota.com, a mutual aid repository supporting residents under ICE's siege, in early Jan. in the weeks since, it's facilitated covering people's rents and flown folks detained back home from Texas.
she can help you do it, too.

Families who have been in hiding from ICE will be recovering for MONTHS.
Don't stop giving. Don't look away.
Does anyone have a hard time telling people what life was like during the last 2+ months without sounding like you're going crazy.
Thousands of Americans who receive GoFundMe donations or Venmo transfers after a medical crisis got hit with tax forms treating gifts as income. The IRS rules haven't caught up with the explosion in peer-to-peer giving, according to researchers who study crowdfunding. buff.ly/zhtybRf
ICE activity continues to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families, despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents. Students attend school remotely, staff monitor arrival and dismissal, and leaders wonder when they can resume normal school operations.
This is A+ advice. It's been on my list of movies to watch since it came out, but I know exactly what you're talking about and I will be ... not watching it.
A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."
"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

ICE is still hitting hard in suburbs and outlying areas, so we’re offering help where needed.
And there’s still so much rent and mutual aid to be paid for across Minnesota - please donate as you are able.
