Support Oromo Community of Minnesota in Urgent Need

Support the Oromo Community of Minnesota (OCM) as they respond to the urgent humanitarian and legal needs stemming from recent immigration enforcement actions in the Twin Cities

Minnesota is home to one of the largest Oromo communities in the USA.

The Oromo Community of Minnesota (OCM), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving our people since 1985, is launching this emergency fund to provide a lifeline for families directly impacted by recent immigration enforcement action.

Why we need your help today:

Our community is facing:
• Sudden Loss of Income: Families are struggling to cover rent and utilities.
• Urgent Food & Supply Needs: Many families are in need of direct deliveries of food and hygiene products.
• Legal Assistance: Refugees and asylum seekers require specialized legal counsel to navigate complex federal actions.

How your donations will be used:
All funds will be managed by the Oromo Community of Minnesota and distributed to families based on urgent needs:
• Emergency Rent & Utility Assistance: Keeping families in their homes.
• Grocery & Essential Deliveries: Providing food and medicine to those in need.
• Legal Aid Referrals: Connecting families with critical representation and resources.
• Rapid Response Support: Funding OCM’s Rapid Response Team to provide culturally and linguistically specific aid.

Please donate and share this campaign to support our neighbors.
