See the comments for a centralized, living list of ways to support Minnesota communities right now — including mutual aid funds, direct support and GoFundMe campaigns, community organizations doing on-the-ground work, actions people can take from anywhere, and sources for reliable reporting and firsthand testimonies.
It’s being maintained by one person, so updates happen as capacity allows.
We have been genuinely moved by how many people — across the country and around the world — have reached out asking the same question:
“How can we help?”
Here’s a list put together by Minnesota activist and digital creator Ashley Fairbanks.
It gives you a range of ideas to find real ways to support communities here. It includes mutual aid and direct support funds, community organizations, ways to take action, and places to learn what’s actually happening. It will continue to be updated as capacity allows.
She’s committed to try to keep it up to date, but the number of people and orgs stepping up is breathtaking. A good problem to have.
Please see the first comment for ways to help.
And again: thank you all. It is good to have friends everywhere.
