We at Willy Street Co-op are sickened by the targeting, racial profiling, detaining, assaulting, and shootings of Twin Cities residents by US government representatives. We greatly appreciate the support and work that Minnesota cooperatives are providing to their communities in these difficult times, and have reached out to learn how we can help.
Eastside Food Co-op has put together a great list of ways people can support Minnesota: eastsidefood.coop/news/how-can-i-help
We’re also working on a list of more locally focused resources: willystreet.coop/resources-to-support-community-members
At each of our locations, we have “Know Your Rights” cards in English, Spanish, and Hmong for anyone who finds it helpful to have one on hand.
Lastly, we have identified two Minneapolis organizations for which we will hold a register campaign to collect money. We will be matching donations up to $5,000 for each organization. We expect to launch that next week.
