Minnesota and the Rest of Us

We all feel helpless right now, especially as far away as we are from Minnesota. We'd like to offer you ways to contribute financially, as we obviously can't be there in person to prepare and deliver food to immigrants too terrified to leave their home.

Stand with Minnesota - Rent Relief, Food support, etc.

Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee has continued its food card fundraiser to help get groceries and necessities to families forced into hiding, parents kept away from work and kids from school. You can donate here.

Women's Foundation of Minnesota

Urgent Basic Needs: Providing food, housing, transportation, health care and other essential emergent supports in response to attacks
Urgent Legal Services: legal defense, due process support, and rights protection
Mobilizing & Organizing: know-your-rights education, community safety planning, advocacy, and coalition-building

The Immigrant Law Center is offering legal support to countless people detained by ICE in Minnesota—you can donate here.

Leo's Tow, is just a really nice guy who helps return the abandoned vehicles of people who have been taken by ICE to their families, you can Venmo them at @leostowingmn.

Community Action with Immigrants - Ways to Help

ICE RAPID RESPONSE HOTLINE

(844) 864-8341 - Select 1

Document any possible witnessed ICE activity. Put the Colorado Rapid Response Network # in your phone (844-864-8431) and call in with location info and what you see. Then begin videoing what you see with your phone until a trained Confirmer arrives (you can get trained as a confirmer through Companeros or Colorado Immigration Rights Coalition (CIRC)). If you can, ask the officer you see who he is with (a police or traffic officer have to answer and provide a badge# if requested).

BIG BEAUTIFUL Bill - BUDGET

It leaves 10.9 million people without health insurance
It increases the national debt by $2-3 trillion
Risks the survival of our SW Colorado rural hospitals and access to health care
Sacrifices the welfare of ALL OF US for tax cuts primarily benefiting the wealthy

PROTECT FUNDING TO PUBLIC RADIO

245 of the Public Radio stations serve rural areas like ours, they need this funding to survive.
Provides crucial information on emergency alerts, and weather alerts, ie. Wildfires
Per the 2025 YouGov Poll, of 52 News Sources, BBC and PBS are the 2nd and 3rd most trusted, and NPR is the 7th most trusted to provide balanced information. Public Radio uses these sources.
Cutting funding to these News Sources is a serious breach of Free Speech and the 1st Amendment.

ENVIRONMENT

Sponsor a Carbon fee and Dividend bill, because it is the single most effective action to collectively reduce our carbon emissions
Work to protect and preserve Healthy Forests, because they pull carbon out of the atmosphere
Reform America's Clean Energy Permitting Process, because we need to speed up the pace at which we build and connect to clean energy projects
Support Building Electrification and Efficiency, because we need to flip the switch to cleaner, safer, more affordable energy to electrify America's buildings

PUBLIC LANDS

Oppose cutting the fees that industry pays to use our public land resources provisions to let developers buy their way around the courts measures to ramp up logging and oil & gas development (exempted from judicial review) rollbacks to protections for places like the Boundary Waters and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Public lands should be managed for people and the future, not sold off for tax cuts or given away to developers.
Underfunding Public Land agencies threatens $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy that sustains nearly 5 million American jobs. Underfunding is not an accident. It’s a strategy to weaken public lands and pave the way for privatization.
