A Message to Our Community
Our Minnesota community is hurting.
Recent federal immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis, including multiple fatal shootings, have caused deep grief for families and communities across Minnesota. Violence and fear have entered everyday life in ways that should never happen.
At the same time, we are seeing Minnesotans show up for one another through mutual aid, shared resources, and collective care. This response reflects the strength and resilience of our communities.
We encourage those who are able to support organizations responding directly to urgent needs. When possible, we urge unrestricted support, because local communities are best positioned to identify what they need and how to move forward as conditions continue to evolve.
- Stand with Minnesota Donation Directory: www.standwithminnesota.com — a hub for community-led efforts and direct support.
- Immigrant Rapid Response Fund: www.wfmn.org/funds/immigrant-rapid-response/ — a coalition fund directing resources quickly and responsibly to immigrant communities in need.
Boreal Waters Community Foundation is actively exploring how we can best support northeastern Minnesota communities during this time. We remain steadfast in our commitment to listening, acting with care, and standing alongside our communities as we work toward safety, dignity, and the long-term well-being of all our neighbors.
