Most professional fundraising development is for large-budget institutions with complex fundraising programs, not more modest Latinx and Indigenous nonprofits. Somos El Poder and First Nations Development Institute are part of a movement placing culturally informed fundraising in the hands of smaller nonprofits.

Enough is enough.
Today, we mourn. Again. We awake to heartbreaking news of another shooting by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Right now, we know little about the circumstances of today's shooting except the victim, our neighbor did not survive. We do know he was surrounded by agents, pummeled by fists, shot at close range, and his character will be wrongfully maligned to cover his killing. No person, no community, and no country deserves what we are experiencing right now. Enough is enough. Enough is outrage. It is a boundary drawn in defense of human life. The mere fact that many of us are living in a state of hypervigilance, anxiety, and fear for ourselves and loved ones is abnormal. Nothing about what's happening in Minnesota is acceptable. Enough is enough. A community says enough when it chooses responsibility over resignation. If you are like me, you are in tears, near tears, or just full of fury. You are exhausted, confused, and so deeply disappointed. Furious that our country and our democracy have come to this-- another loss of life has occurred at the hands of our government. This is not okay. I am not okay. I know many of you are not okay. Enough is enough. Enough is a cry of anger. It is a line drawn by love when loss has gone too far. I went to bed last night bursting with pride to be a Minnesotan. Joining tens of thousands of Minnesotans who took peacefully and patriotically to the frigid streets to demonstrate pure love for our neighbors and our democracy. We showed America what it means to be American. Enough is enough. Saying enough is how a community declares that life matters more than endurance. There comes a moment when enough suffering has spoken for itself, and the only moral response left is care. In the midst of this horror, take care of yourself. I mean it. Breathe. Mourn. Gather with loved ones. Read poetry. Say a prayer. Listen to Nina Simone. Give your nervous system what it needs. In love and solidarity from Minneapolis and St. Paul ❤️❤️❤️
