Ways to Help Minnesota
Right now, communities in Minnesota are organizing mutual aid, legal support, emergency relief, and care for people affected by increased ICE enforcement. Many neighbors are working around the clock to protect families, keep people housed and fed, and raise up voices that are too often ignored.
If you’re looking for ways to help, here are some meaningful ways to get involved:
Donate or volunteer: Check out the Stand With Minnesota donation directory — a vetted list of mutual aid funds, rent support, food aid, legal funds, and more: https://www.standwithminnesota.com/
Connect with local mutual aid efforts: A clearinghouse of support and volunteer opportunities in and around Minneapolis is available here: https://linktr.ee/mplsmutualaid
Support with creative resistance and fundraising: The Melt the Ice Hat pattern is a great way to contribute and spread awareness. All proceeds from the sale of the patterns go to immigrant aid agencies, which will distribute the funds to those affected by ICE's actions.

Whether you donate, volunteer your time, share these resources, or simply spread the word, every action helps amplify support for real people in need.
