Publishers for Minnesota Auction

January 28, 2026 by Edith Campbell   Leave a Comment

Concerned authors, illustrators, agents and editors have organized the Publishers for Minnesota Auction to take collective action in response to ongoing ICE raids and federal actions that are causing harm to immigrant communities and our neighbors across the country, particularly Minnesota. They have organized an auction to raise funds for those most impacted. Proceeds from this auction will support organizations providing legal aid, emergency assistance, food, and community resources to those in urgent need.

  • Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota
  • Women’s Foundation of Minnesota
  • Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund
  • Dios Habla Hoy Church Food Distribution (South Minneapolis)
  • Community Aid Network MN: Community Aid Network (CANMN)
  • Central Area Neighborhood Development
  • The Central Neighborhood Care Team (Central Care Team)

For support across the country:

  • Immigrant Defense Project
  • HandsOffNYC

There’s a short turn around on this auction so, when you go in and look around today, go ahead an make your bid. It will close on Friday 30 January 2026. The highest bidders will submit proof of donation and will then be connected with the donors over email.

I am only spreading the news; I am NOT one of the organizers; visit their site if you have questions.

Winning bids will have 48 hours to show confirmation of donation to one of the organizations. I’ve even provide a little protest music courtesy of Bruce Springsteen to entertain while you bid.

Be well and do good
