A belated Valentine to the city I am proud to call my home. The past 10 weeks here have been scary and intense for me and more so for many of my fellow residents.

While many people have joined in resisting this occupation, many have been forced to hide away, literally afraid to walk outside for fear of being kidnapped by the federal government. It is a disgusting and devastating situation to say the absolute least. 

And yet, I am continually inspired by the people in my life and in my city who consistently do the most to support our neighbors in myriad ways! There are so many roles to play and endless help needed right now. I am reminded daily that Minneapolis is a beautiful and resilient city. 

I have always loved “Someone who loves me…” souvenir shirts. This type of shirt exists solely to be given as a gift to a loved one, it’s not something you'd likely buy for yourself. Even in its simplicity, it is a reminder of our connectedness across distance, and the importance of giving as an act of care.

This design will be available through the end of March on my site with all proceeds going directly to rent support for my neighbors whose normal lives have been disrupted by being terrorized. I will be making weekly donations to Neighbors Helping Neighbors, who are doing a ton of work to distribute funds to different neighborhoods.

I would encourage you to donate to this fund whether or not you buy a shirt, there are wonderful people on the ground here doing grassroots organizing here and making sure things get to the right people safely in a timely manner.

Thankyou for reading if you did, please stay safe and continue to denounce what is going on in whatever way makes sense for you! We all have a role to play, don’t give up hope for a better future. 

*All orders between now and March 31st will be produced and shipped the first week of April.*
