Who We Are
Immigration enforcement actions continue to expand across Minnesota, with the Mexican community being disproportionately targeted. Families are facing sudden detention, loss of income, housing instability, and the risk of losing everything they have worked for.
As the Mexican community, we cannot stand by and watch our people suffer under an unfair system.
Mexican Nurses for Community Care MN is a volunteer-led mutual aid effort launched by Mexican nurses in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. We are coming together to support members of our community during this difficult moment by providing emergency assistance for rent, utilities, and immigration bond fees.
According to recent data, there are 229,576 Mexican people living in Minnesota, with 61% residing in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The impact of these enforcement actions is being felt directly in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and families.
Our work is rooted in care, dignity, and solidarity. Every request for assistance is carefully reviewed and verified before support is provided. Once verified, requests may be shared through our public tracking system to ensure transparency and community trust.
This initiative is 100% volunteer-run. No one receives a salary. Every dollar donated goes directly toward helping families remain housed, keep essential utilities on, and reunite loved ones through bond support.
If you are in need of assistance, we invite you to complete our confidential request form.
If you are able to give, your contribution helps protect families and strengthen our community during a time of urgent need.
Together, we care for our own.
