About

As members of this Minnesota community, as the children of immigrants, and as creatives in this time when the arts are being undervalued and underfunded, our Paranoid Tree co-founders and editors firmly stand against the current presidential administration and the occupation of our state by the illegal practices of the ICE and DHS enforcement. The criminal activities of ICE and Border Patrol, including murder, kidnapping, harassment, and terrorism, have caused resounding pain and harm throughout our Minnesota community. The occupation isn't over, and neither are the heroic and compassionate efforts our neighbors have taken to show up for one another. While the effects of this moment will continue to radiate, we stand strong with the abolitionist work of our community organizers. Abolish ICE! And fuck this administration!
We want to hear from our people: Please send us your stories, your poetry, your mini essays, your dreams for what our community can be, and your reflections on the hardships we've faced together. This chapbook is to commemorate and celebrate our strength, learnings, and experiences in this reality.
