i assume y'all know how to handle snow but for the transplants: the way this is sticking to the trees means it's probably the wet heavy stuff.
AKA Heart Attack Snow. It's wetter, so it's heavier to shovel, which requires more work and strain. Take breaks, rest, and pay attention to your body.
Near North Mutual Aid / Community Care Update For two months, Minnesotans have had one goal: Protect and care for our neighbors. In 24 days, 592 of you gave $72000, which supported 47 families with rent aid. That's babies and kids and grandparents who weren't evicted because of you. In total, we have raised $140,000, protecting 73 families in North Minneapolis Current requests outweigh our funds. March rent goal is $200,000 to continue to keep these families safe and warm in their homes. Between $15 and $1000, every dollar counts. We are so incredibly grateful for the way you care for your neighbors. THANK YOU. Please like, share, & donate to support Near North families affected by ICE raids - GoFundMe Thank you, Indigenous Roots, for being our fiscal sponsor 501(c)3 NORTHSIDE
If you're someone who doesn't use Venmo for any reason, a screenshot of you donating here would also be accepted for getting your snow/ice shoveled!

a poster on a wooden stick, held up at an Anti-ICE rally. At the top it reads "ICE OUT" in block letters, and drawn under the text is the U.S. state of Minnesota with a snow shovel on it. Around the sign, other protesters and anti-ICE and pro-immigrant signage are visible.
We have three main goals:
Abolish ICE
Create clear, walkable pathways
Help our vulnerable neighbors make it through this occupation

Answer the call from Minnesotan organizers and neighbors FEBRUARY 25th-MARCH 1st for a week of action. The gathering will include political education, rapid responder and legal observer trainings, and a range of protests targeting ICE and their collaborators. See you in the Twin Cities!
I got asked to boost the rent fund for Whittier Elementary’s Wolfpack organizing team.
They paid 70 rents for February and are committed to paying March rent for 120 families.
They’ve still got ground to cover and could use support getting more eyes on their fund:
