Stand With Minnesota
Where Mutual Aid Meets Action
We get it. It’s overwhelming right now. You may be wondering what you can do to help. Minnesota based artist and activist, Ashley Fairbanks, has come up with an answer. Standwithminnesota.com is a digital resource hub and mutual aid directory created to support Minnesota .
The website has been set up to help Minnesotans by sharing information from activists on the ground plugged into the situation. According to the website, everything is vetted except the individual GoFundMe pages. Any funds that are donated are administered by neighbors helping neighbors, not large organizations. Options to help include:
Rent relief funds
Mutual aid funds
Provide food support
Buy or donate materials
Diaper fund
In addition, the website includes crowdfunding campaigns that have not met their goals. They include funds for individuals, schools, students, communities, and employees.
The website has a wealth of information for those who are ready to get into some good trouble and plug in.
