Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

Ice is still here just operating in different ways, like doing kidnappings on a Sunday night at 10 PM. Make sure you’re still connected to hyper local networks so you’re able to respond when neighbors need help.

Songs for the Thaw: How Minnesota Musicians Are Healing a Hurting Community

Minnesota musicians have responded to the trauma of Operation Metro Surge the way artists often do when communities are hurting: by making music. Just as importantly, this musical response reflects the diversity of Minnesota itself. Across folk, latinx, hip-hop, punk, Americana, soul, indie rock, and ska, artists from varied backgrounds and communities are contributing their voices. The result is not one protest anthem, but a chorus: layered, multilingual, multi-genre, and deeply rooted in care.

SUPPLY DRIVE

Haven Watch continues to help releases at the gate in Minneapolis, and we also provide care for more than 300 former detainees who require many different types of aid after returning home. This could include rental assistance, groceries, legal aid, help finding a new job, and more.

Also, unfortunately, our releases sometimes need our help to self deport, even when they have legal immigration status. This can happen for a lot of reasons, like a loved one was deported and they don't want to be separated, they are scared after being detained, the legal process for their case is difficult and expensive, or they just have decided to leave. When they choose this option, they often need to leave quickly with whatever they can fit in suitcases and backpacks.

We have updated our Amazon Wish List to include some of the items most in need currently. In addition, we are offering the option to drop off donations so that you can choose to purchase elsewhere. Just click on the link, purchase and send through Amazon, or look for similar items locally to purchase and drop off next weekend.

We appreciate your continued support.
