🌿 Stand with Minnesota
Across Minnesota, ICE continues to stop, harass, and detain people regardless of their citizenship status. Normal life in Minnesota has been interrupted, as schools have been forced to close or go virtual, as people live in fear of leaving their homes or going to work. Minnesotans are organized and activated to respond to this violence. But they need our help.
This directory is an independent project of a lady from Minneapolis.
"I am not raising or distributing any funds. also we are now just two ladies running this thing as volunteers, so please be patient. Thank you."
This directory of places to donate to all comes from activists on the ground, plugged into the situation.
Everything is vetted, with the exception of individual GoFundMes (not everyone is in our networks, and we don’t want to pick and choose who is worthy of help.)
If you don’t have resources to give, please amplify what you are hearing and seeing about Minnesota, across social media, but also to your networks, friends, and family offline.
ICE Watch and Community Defense are grassroots efforts where community members monitor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, document raids, and support affected immigrant families, using tactics like hotlines, alerts (whistles, sirens, social media), and "Know Your Rights" education to protect neighbors from deportation and build neighborhood resilience against federal enforcement actions.
Free Weekly Meditation to Support the Soul of the United States
with Annette Rugolo and New World Women Co-founder, Dawn Morningstar
During this pivotal time in the United States, many sensitive and aware souls are feeling the collective anxiety, grief, and anger moving through the country. It can be overwhelming, and yet each of us holds a powerful light that can make a difference.
As a Founding Mother and a Luminary in New World Women, Annette Rugolo is offering free peace meditations to the members of New World Women and beyond. To close, Dawn Morningstar will share a message of peace and inspired action.
Wednesdays, from 7:00–8:00 PM US Central (CT)
Together, we will:
• Gently release collective anxiety, grief, and anger from the energetic field
• Send waves of light, peace, and harmony across the entire country
• Anchor a field of stability, compassion, and hope for everyone who lives here
• Feel into what we are being called to do during this time
Each week, you will also receive the recording of the meditation, so if you cannot join live, you can still participate in your own time and add your light to the field.
If you've been feeling the intensity of the world lately, whether that looks like tension in your body, a busy mind, or a sense of overwhelm, this free online gathering is here to support you.
