Support Immigrants in Minnesota & Beyond

  • Written By: Kiana Davis, Social Action and Social Justice Senior Manager

We are devastated by the violence and disruption targeting immigrant communities and their allies in Minnesota.

While locals and trusted allies will be taking action locally in Minneapolis this week, we know that this unfolding crisis is not confined to any one place—it impacts all of us and our communities no matter where we live. In this week following MLK Day, we hear echoes of history urging us not toward despair, but toward action. 

Below are ways to show up – even from afar – to be in solidarity, protect those most at risk, and support efforts to keep people safe while preserving our democracy.
