Responding to the call
We’ve heard the call to action. As our members continue to do what they can personally to advocate for justice and promote equality, Harisen Daiko as an organization has committed to support local organizations working toward the same.
Harisen is donating $300 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, supporting their efforts to provide legal assistance to low-income immigrants and refugees in our state. Read more about their mission at their website (https://www.ilcm.org/) and consider making a contribution of your own, if you are able.
Harisen is also donating $300 to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, supporting their efforts to stand against the unjust practice of cash bail, which unfairly affects people of color and immigrants. Read more about their mission at their website (https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/) and consider supporting them as well.
And Harisen is donating $300 to the Local Library Equity Fund, to help them restore the libraries affected by recent events in Minneapolis and to support the programs and resources libraries provide to the communities they serve. Read more about the goals of the fund here (https://www.supporthclib.org/justice-for-all), and make your own donation as you are able.
To be silent is to be complicit in the violence and injustices done against BIPOC communities. There are many actions we all can take; if you want to know about more ways to help aside from these three organizations, please refer to the Minnesota Freedom Fund’s webpage for other organizations needing support, or to our own post listing resources (https://harisendaiko.org/…/supporting-the-fight-against-inj…).
