Time for another report on how we’ve been doing! As of today, we’ve spent nearly $18k at local, immigrant-owned businesses & have provided ~2000 meals to people experiencing unhoused homelessness or food insecurity.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, or lifted up our efforts!

God I missed you, California

I’d love to!

Can’t wait to visit PDX again and buy some more comics from ya!

Book cover: Hope for the Mission Getting it Right in the call to end homelessness by kevin Nye

Hey so, this came out today :)

It’s about homelessness, the church, and how these things are supposed to go together (and what it looks like when they don’t.) Mostly, it’s about hope.

Buy it wherever you buy books. I’ll post some links below. Also, celebrate with me!!

donated and now i'm SO HUNGRY, I know what I'm getting for breakfast now

It’s been another busy week dealing with the ICE occupation in Minneapolis, but I wanted to give you a Burrito update!

We started this project just over 5 weeks ago, and since then we’ve provided over 1150 meals for people, and spent almost $12k at local, immigrant-owned restaurants!

Hi everyone! We’ve been super busy delivering meals the past two weeks- the extreme cold has made this more necessary than ever. MIWRC has been operating as an emergency warning shelter for most of the month and we’ve been really fortunate to help keep hot meals available there for people in need.

We’re still fundraising the below initiative. We’ve been providing daily food to a warming center as well direct encampments aid, and have pumped thousands of $$ into struggling immigrant-owned businesses. Help us keep it up!

I’m so proud of how my Minneapolis neighbors are showing up, and how those around the country are empowering us with donations, encouragement and prayers.

Don’t let up! We will win!

This is one of the stories I've tried to convey for a while now:

The Trump administration and its allies have long invoked faith to justify policies, appeal to certain groups, etc.

But the president's religious critics have *also* long been numerous, and increasingly loud.

We delivered pizzas to our unhoused neighbors today to get them a hot lunch on such a cold day (0° with -16° windchill at noon). So fresh they steamed up the windows!

Huge thanks to Marsu Pizza for making this big order happen & thank you everyone who has donated to keep our food outreach going!

One thing that everyone outside of Minneapolis needs to know is how incredibly useless Mayor Frey and Governor Walz have been in light of what we’re facing, and it’s really frustrating to see how many of yall are falling for their sound-byte “solidarity”.

Hello community!

We are asking for more support for this fundraiser. Due to the extreme cold expected to linger in the Twin Cities for the next several days, we are seeing a huge need to help provide hot meals to unhoused people. Please help us continue to support our immigrant businesses!

The reason that Mayor Frey and Governor Walz can’t muster much more than selective outrage is because there’s nothing you can say about ICE that isn’t also true of the Minneapolis Police Department, who both swore allegiance to against pervasive evidence of corruption and rights violations.

Thinking about becoming an ICE chaplain so I can just yell “REPENT!” and “Woe to you evildoers!” at them all day.

Only the best!

Hey folks: we’re supporting South Minneapolis latino-owned businesses and the unhoused at the same time—buying breakfast burritos from local taquerias to distribute to unsheltered folks.

Help us help each other!

Hey all,
I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. I’m hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I don’t have Venmo & I don’t have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas

A great year in reading, especially considering I wrote a whole book this year too! 😅

Anyone read any of these? Share your lists too!

A sign taped on someone’s door with a picture of the grinch that reads “Under Eviction! We hope you asked Santa for boxes and packing tape… because you are under eviction.” And lists an apartment number and balance.

Merry Christmas to everyone except landlords

At Christmas, a reminder of Ireland’s persistent homelessness crisis “I know many homeless people who tell me they would love to fall asleep on the first of December and wake up on the first of January. Christmas is the most miserable time for them.”

I spoke with the Archbishop of Dublin, Peter McVerry, and @kevinmnye.bsky.social to explore how Christmas is so incredibly hard for those who are homeless

Rian Johnson made a movie just for me and I will not hear otherwise.

A good Advent lesson comes from the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth.

The lesson, of course, is that men should shut up more so that women can tell us what God is like.
