Sustaining Community Care in the Twin Cities Native Corridor

Hau mitákuyepi.
(Hello relatives.)

Our community is still carrying the impact of recent federal immigration enforcement actions that effectively placed parts of our city under occupation. The presence of militarized enforcement, fear of raids, and sudden disruption to daily life created lasting harm in our neighborhoods.

For many Indigenous and immigrant families, this moment did not feel new. It echoed generations of displacement, surveillance, and instability that our communities have lived with for far too long. Even after the visible presence fades, the fear and trauma remain in our bodies, our homes, and our children.

At All Nations Indian Church, located in the heart of the Twin Cities Native American Corridor, we are continuing an ongoing network of community care that supports mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. This care is offered freely because no one should have to worry about the cost of caring for themselves during a time of crisis.

No one should have to worry about the cost of caring for themselves.

Together with Movement Chaplains, therapists, healers, and trusted community members, we are working to ensure that this care remains accessible, grounded, and sustainable for the people who need it most.

What this care includes

Through this initiative, we are able to provide:

• Trauma-aware Movement Chaplains offering calm, grounded presence in community spaces
• Free access to licensed therapists and mental health practitioners
• Body-based healing practitioners who help release stress and trauma held in the body
• Therapy and support animals offering comfort and safety
• Mental health care kits shared with families and community members who need immediate support

This work supports children, youth, adults, and elders, because healing must reach entire families and communities.

Our Goal

We are raising $100,000 to sustain this network of care. These funds will support care providers, supplies, coordination, and the continued ability to offer services free of charge to those who need them.

This fund exists so care can remain accessible, responsive, and rooted in dignity, without anyone having to justify their pain or their circumstances. Care is one of the most powerful ways communities remind one another that no one stands alone.

If you are able, we invite you to give. Every contribution helps sustain a circle of care that our community can rely on today and in the future.

Pilamaya. Thank you for standing with our relatives and helping us continue this work.
