Hello again, Chris. I just tried to donate to the Longfellow group, but I received a message from GoFundMe saying that it couldn't be found. Is there an updated link? Feel free to email me any info at kperrry0513@gmail.com. Thanks!
Apologies for the confusion - once we got to a little over $50K, we closed the fundraiser to protect the privacy of our group and those we're supporting. You can find other ways to help out folks in Minnesota here: standwithminnesota.com
Thanks, Chris. Wow--congratulations on reaching your goal. The generosity and heart of my fellow Minneapolitans, Minnesotans, and our friends in other places is sustaining me these days. I'll share the Stand with Minnesota link with others. Carry on!
Thank you for this post, Chris. (I discovered it in Brent Love's newsletter. He and I were in a writing class together at the Loft that began in January, 2020, just before the pandemic.)
I am very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for your family to gather at Charlie's funeral on the night Renee Good was killed. Your family's message is exactly what we need right now.
As a fellow Minneapolitan, I've also been asked by friends how they can help. I'll add the link to your Longfellow group to my list of recommendations.
Thank you for your beautiful writing here and for your inspiring work to help your neighbors. I think that our secret weapon against ICE is that we genuinely care about and will keep supporting each other. And nothing they can do will change that!
