is a yoga studio located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, just one block from where Alex Pretti was murdered and 2 miles from where Renée Good was murdered. At the epicenter of violence and grief, this studio has remained open as a safe haven for their community, providing shelter, supplies, injury treatment, and spiritual and physical care for free or reduced costs. In order to support this work, Yess Yoga has started a GoFundMe seeking $16,000; they have already raised 89% of their goal and need just $2,000 more.

By donating to this cause, you will be helping to sponsor the care of affected residents in Minneapolis and to support a focal point of their community.

In solidarity with all communities affected by ICE violence and in accordance with the ethical tenets of Yoga, I invite all reading to use your purchasing power to place pressure on corporations and government agencies that do not support the abolition of ICE.
