Reclaim the Block are maintaining a live list of organizations in need that are serving the community most impacted by the uprising.
I’ve updated this list again. I highlighted the Minnesota Sanctuary Hotel, which is a homeless shelter. I didn’t realize that George Floyd volunteered at a homeless shelter in Minneapolis. This is a lovely way to honor his spirit. The organization is trying to raise funds to purchase a vacant hotel, close to where George Floyd’s life tragically ended, and turn it into a shelter. We need more shelter beds in MSP. The situation was bad BEFORE Covid. Now it’s critical.
Also: as a note, if you want to add your fundraiser or organization to this list please contact me through replies, instead of just reblogging the list with your stuff attached. I’m trying to focus on Minnesota because that’s where I live and that’s where I can do the most good. Thanks!
