Friend — communities across the nation are reeling from the last week. Over the last 15 hours, we’ve seen the pain and anger of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many other murders pour from protest to riots. We are all hurting and looking for ways to begin the healing.

There are so many local organizations that are doing important work to support communities of color during this painful time. We would love your help uplifting these causes.

If you’ve been watching the news coverage and wondering what you could do to help, this is an opportunity to make an impact and work toward long-lasting change.

We encourage folks to donate to We Love Lake Street, an organization focused on helping small businesses and nonprofits in the Lake Street community rebuild their storefronts and serve their neighborhoods. A majority of businesses in the Lake Street community are owned by immigrants and people of color.

We also want to direct people to contribute to Minnesota Voice. This organization is committed to working toward racial, social, and economic justice by increasing civic engagement in underrepresented communities across Minnesota.

Can you donate whatever you can to help We Love Lake Street and Minnesota Voice today? These organizations are doing important work in their communities and need our support.

We know this is a tough time for folks, so please only give if you can. We are always amazed by the generosity and selflessness of this team.

Thank you, as always, for taking action.
