🌶️ MINNESOTA: WE STAND WITH YOU! 🌶️
In the face of the ongoing ICE occupations and the heightened surveillance targeting our neighbors, we refuse to stay silent. Our community is built on the contributions, cultures, and culinary brilliance of immigrants—and right now, that community needs our collective strength.
So we’re turning our mission into direct action. ✊🏽
Starting now through the end of March, 100% of proceeds from our merch collection will be donated to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund.
This fund is a critical lifeline, paying bonds to get people out of detention and back home with their families where they belong. When their cases are complete the funds are replenished back to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund to release another individual from incarceration. By recycling returned bond money, it provides a sustainable, long-term solution to free individuals from ICE custody, reuniting families and enabling access to legal counsel for their cases.

Thank you for BBQ 2025!
BBQ Without Borders is a day to show unity, cultivating a space where immigrants can celebrate their culture’s positive additions to our society.
Immigrants have long contributed valuable sustainable practices, from eco-friendly farming to a deep respect for nature, helping us “cook up” a more sustainable future.
Thanks to our talented chefs, performers, and team, this year we were able to raise money for our resilience fund and celebrate the diversity of our community. With the Unity Council, we were able to distribute $27,385.50 via microgrants to our community!

Thank you to our sponsors for making BBQ Without Borders 2025 Happen!
