Hey all, I feel compelled to share my recent experiences as a Minneapolis resident. This weekend, my family gathered with our South Minneapolis block in candlelight vigil for another resident killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. On Friday, my children's schools were closed, and we gathered with neighbors to put together craft kits for kids too scared to go outside right now. A neighbor teaches at a school where attendance has dropped by 40% in the past week. Earlier in the week, one of the restaurants around the corner from my house asked for help from neighbors to sit in the restaurant as they closed, because the staff, who are all here legally, are afraid to walk to their cars at the end of their shift. The parents in my kid's daycare are collecting medical supplies for pop-up free clinics because people are afraid to go to the hospital. The amount of mutual aid being coordinated by people just trying to do their day jobs and raise families is staggering.
