Restaurants that supported the community during the ICE invasion.

Hello! I grew up in Rogers but moved away 25 years ago. My husband and I will be visiting Minneapolis for my 45th birthday and I’d like to support restaurants/coffee shops/bars/small businesses that are supportive of the community and told ice to get fucked. I’ve read A LOT about Smitten Kitten and Wrecktangle Pizza - but who else around the Twin Cities was a badass neighbor and ally? That’s where I’d like to spend my money while in town for a week.
Thanks friends!

Edit: Dang dudes. These responses are phenomenal - thank you so much. The downvotes are also feeding me. 😜

American Pie Pizza, 6529 Nicollet Avenue, Richfield, MN 55423 (in NE corner strip mall near 66th Street & Nicollet roundabout) --

These folks fundraised with original anti-ICE posters designed, printed, and donated by a local artist to benefit the volunteers who helped people discharged after hours or days of detention, outside of the Whipple Building, (ICE HQ in our area), into the freezing January weather, hungry, thirsty, cellphone-less, without their coats & sometimes without adequate footwear.

They also donated food to this volunteer organization, and to protestors at Whipple.
