Yesod mutual aid fund
About The Yesod fund
Yesod means foundation. Sod means secret. Together, they speak to what this fund is: the quiet, essential support that holds people up when everything else feels unstable.
The Yesod Fund is our collective commitment to caring for our neighbors in moments of acute vulnerability. When systems fail, when fear and disruption make daily life precarious, we believe it is our responsibility to become a foundation for one another.
The Yesod Fund provides flexible, direct support to individuals and families navigating instability and harm, particularly those most impacted by ICE and the occupation of the Twin Cities. Direct aid to individuals and families reflects our belief that those closest to harm best understand what support is needed, and that safety and stability are sacred.
