What is happening in Minnesota is unacceptable. During Trump's first term, I still felt like the system would work and things would balance out. Before his second term I thought there was no way he was going to get elected again. When he was elected, I thought or maybe hoped that our worst fears would not be possible but our government started tearing down our rights, piece by piece. They are limiting access to healthcare for women and trans people, they are detaining citizens based on skin color, they are justifying the execution of peaceful protestors, and they are lying to our faces about things we can plainly see.

At times I've felt like there is nothing I can do. I have stood by and done nothing but watch this all happen. People are being murdered by thugs employed by our government. There is no way to in good conscience just watch. People, legal citizens, in Minnesota are being unlawfully detained and they need help that we can provide through financial support to one of their local organizations.

All proceeds from these shirts will go directly to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an organization that provides legal representation to low income immigrants.

ILCM works at the local, state, and federal levels to promote fair and just public policies that support immigrant and refugee communities and protect their rights. ILCM works with the immigrant community, immigrant advocates, nonprofits, business and civic leaders, law enforcement, and policymakers to increase awareness of the contributions and needs of immigrants and refugees and to advocate for equitable, pragmatic, and welcoming policies.  

ILCM has engaged on issues ranging from access to driver?s licenses, healthcare, and legal counsel for noncitizens to the implementation of legal settlements around custody and care of unaccompanied minors.
