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. Stand With Minnesota has compiled a list of actions you can take–even from afar–to be in solidarity, protect those most at risk, and support efforts to keep people safe while preserving our democracy. 

Join us on February 11 for Welcoming the Stranger: Immigration in NYC, a program that will examine the current landscape of immigration in NYC, how federal, state, and city policies are shaping the lives of immigrants today, and share concrete ways to engage, including BJ’s own Sacred Court Support and Respite Dinners, alongside broader rapid response networks across the city.

Support Organizations on the Ground
  • Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota – Providing legal assistance to hundreds of families detained by ICE.
  • Immigrant Rapid Response Fund – A coalition of Twin Cities foundations getting emergency resources out quickly.
  • MN Together – Multifaith mutual aid network, along with trusted partners, meeting the emerging and emergency needs of our neighbors.
  • UnidosMN – grassroots organization supporting and organizing Minnesota’s working families.
