There were 190 federal agents in Minnesota before Operation Metro Surge, those agents covered 5 states. From a 3000+, that number is going to be 400 agents, on top of the original cohort. How is tripling federal presence winding down? The crisis continues because the occupation continues.

Money for restaurants impacted by ICE $2500-$10000 grants for small and independent restaurants Apply by February 23 The Salt Cure Restaurant Recover fund graphic on a salt shaker QR code thesatcurefund.org

Twin Citizens: If you frequent a small, independently owned restaurant that would benefit from a grant for lost business during the siege, let them know about the Salt Cure Fund. It’s a small ($2500-10000) grant, and the deadline to apply is 2/23.
I made a flyer you can share out, DM me for the PDFs

All three say “A Public Safety Message” at the top and “We Keep Us Safe” at the bottom.

These Public Safety Messages were inspired by the messages I get from my city after every snowfall, and from the community care demonstrated all across the Midwest by neighbors helping each other dig out after winter storms, and the amazing ways Minnesotans are extending that care right now. #iceout
