#melticestack

Some days I really feel helpless because there’s honestly not much I can personally do to help what’s going on in the US. When I saw this initiative, I knew I had to do it! It’s not much, but it is something I CAN do.

🔥Head over to instagram to post yours and help raise money to help those affected by ICE🔥

🔥With the warmth of your compassion, we can help melt ICE🔥

As many of you have seen in news headlines, public interviews, legal observer videos, and social media posts, ICE presence and violence in Minneapolis have been escalating. Minnesotans have been developing networks of care and resistance on the ground, but they need your help!

Through the end of February, for every post of a “flame” stack of yellow/orange/red books using #MeltIceStack and tagging @readerbotdiaries, Lou will be donating $1 to the @womensfndnmn Immigrant Rapid Response Fund, up to $200.

🔥Carmen @tomesandtextiles will match $200!

🔥Haley @spoonie.reads will match $100!

🔥Aurora’s Bookstagram @auroralovesherbooks will match $100!

🔥Ad astra @adastra_stories will match $200!

This means if we get 200 posts for the challenge, that is $1950 directly to the urgent basic needs and legal fees of immigrants in the state of Minnesota (and border communities in the Dakotas).

If you would like to join us in matching our donations in any amount, large or small, please let me know! We want to raise as many funds as we can for our neighbors trying to survive state-sanctioned genOcide.
