I have been trying to frame this for non-Minnesotans; asking what they can do.
If you have $100 to give:
$20 to formal orgs
$20 to legal aid work
$20 to emergency rent funds
$20 to the next (underfunded) mutual aid ask you see.
Give $20 to a Minnesotan and tell them to buy some great local food.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved
After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

Without exaggeration, these would have little to no impact! None of these would have protected Renee Good, Victor Manuel Diaz, or Alex Pretti. ICE OUT is the only acceptable solution.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
