I am trying to help my friend Dave urgently raise $1,939.20 by 4:30PM today to prevent evictions in a complex impacted by ICE. story below.

Please, if you can, venmo me at @ziibiing and lets help this tenant leader keep vulnerable folks in her building housed

Friends, I just hit "send" on an email committing to raise $4838.20 in the next 2 hours. There is a tenant leader a few minutes' drive from me - no names, photos or locations pls - who *blocked Bovino and his caravan* from entering her complex on Wednesday. Last night she asked us, the broader community, YOU, to help stop the evictions of 3 families in her complex. I spoke with property mgmt this morning and got a commitment from them not to proceed with the eviction if we can pay the past due rent by close of business. Everything that you've contributed to my venmo that I have not already spent (I can provide a long list!) totals $2899. So that leaves $1,939.20 that we need to raise by 4:30pm. PLEASE like, comment, drop a pet picture or a gif, to boost this post (I will not make it public, too visible), and contribute if you can to my venmo.
LFG.

my teacher friend asked, if people have more to give, to help meet the goal on this rent relief fund they have set up for families unable to live home due to their status.

if we did $2k in 20 minutes we can do $24k by the end of the day, right?

please amplify!

If you have any funds to spare and want to help Minneapolis right now, getting dash cams to observers is crucially important and especially after today

Nick Benson @ottergoose.net · 4d

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.

Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!
