Time for another report on how weโve been doing! As of today, weโve spent nearly $18k at local, immigrant-owned businesses & have provided ~2000 meals to people experiencing unhoused homelessness or food insecurity.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, or lifted up our efforts!
God I missed you, California
Iโd love to!
Canโt wait to visit PDX again and buy some more comics from ya!

Book cover: Hope for the Mission Getting it Right in the call to end homelessness by kevin Nye
Hey so, this came out today :)
Itโs about homelessness, the church, and how these things are supposed to go together (and what it looks like when they donโt.) Mostly, itโs about hope.
Buy it wherever you buy books. Iโll post some links below. Also, celebrate with me!!

donated and now i'm SO HUNGRY, I know what I'm getting for breakfast now
Itโs been another busy week dealing with the ICE occupation in Minneapolis, but I wanted to give you a Burrito update!
We started this project just over 5 weeks ago, and since then weโve provided over 1150 meals for people, and spent almost $12k at local, immigrant-owned restaurants!
Hi everyone! Weโve been super busy delivering meals the past two weeks- the extreme cold has made this more necessary than ever. MIWRC has been operating as an emergency warning shelter for most of the month and weโve been really fortunate to help keep hot meals available there for people in need.
Weโre still fundraising the below initiative. Weโve been providing daily food to a warming center as well direct encampments aid, and have pumped thousands of $$ into struggling immigrant-owned businesses. Help us keep it up!

Iโm so proud of how my Minneapolis neighbors are showing up, and how those around the country are empowering us with donations, encouragement and prayers.
Donโt let up! We will win!
This is one of the stories I've tried to convey for a while now:
The Trump administration and its allies have long invoked faith to justify policies, appeal to certain groups, etc.
But the president's religious critics have *also* long been numerous, and increasingly loud.
We delivered pizzas to our unhoused neighbors today to get them a hot lunch on such a cold day (0ยฐ with -16ยฐ windchill at noon). So fresh they steamed up the windows!
Huge thanks to Marsu Pizza for making this big order happen & thank you everyone who has donated to keep our food outreach going!
One thing that everyone outside of Minneapolis needs to know is how incredibly useless Mayor Frey and Governor Walz have been in light of what weโre facing, and itโs really frustrating to see how many of yall are falling for their sound-byte โsolidarityโ.
Hello community!
We are asking for more support for this fundraiser. Due to the extreme cold expected to linger in the Twin Cities for the next several days, we are seeing a huge need to help provide hot meals to unhoused people. Please help us continue to support our immigrant businesses!
The reason that Mayor Frey and Governor Walz canโt muster much more than selective outrage is because thereโs nothing you can say about ICE that isnโt also true of the Minneapolis Police Department, who both swore allegiance to against pervasive evidence of corruption and rights violations.
Thinking about becoming an ICE chaplain so I can just yell โREPENT!โ and โWoe to you evildoers!โ at them all day.
Only the best!
Hey folks: weโre supporting South Minneapolis latino-owned businesses and the unhoused at the same timeโbuying breakfast burritos from local taquerias to distribute to unsheltered folks.
Help us help each other!

Hey all,
I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. Iโm hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I donโt have Venmo & I donโt have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas
A great year in reading, especially considering I wrote a whole book this year too! ๐
Anyone read any of these? Share your lists too!
A sign taped on someoneโs door with a picture of the grinch that reads โUnder Eviction! We hope you asked Santa for boxes and packing tapeโฆ because you are under eviction.โ And lists an apartment number and balance.
Merry Christmas to everyone except landlords
I spoke with the Archbishop of Dublin, Peter McVerry, and @kevinmnye.bsky.social to explore how Christmas is so incredibly hard for those who are homeless

OH NO! You forgot to get that important person a Christmas present!!
Most things wonโt ship in time! Thereโs no time to go to a store!
Fear not! Great news!
โGrace Can Lead Us Home: A Christian Call to End Homelessnessโ is less than $10, and in most places ships OVERNIGHT.
Christmas saved.
Friends, could you help saving lives go viral?

Rian Johnson made a movie just for me and I will not hear otherwise.
