Turn Up Your Support

As federal immigration enforcement has surged in Minnesota, so has assistance to immigrants.

Across Minnesota, people are supporting immigrant neighbors who are too afraid to leave their homes.

Volunteers are delivering groceries and giving rides. They’re helping with rent and pitching in with everything from dog walking to legal services. 

The support is grassroots, organized through local neighborhood groups, congregations and school communities.  

MPR News Guest host Catharine Richert talks with guests and listeners about what volunteers  are doing, what motivates them and the impact they’re having.
