ROCNYprotest.com

This site is a branch of Indivisible Outreach, operating as an independent clearinghouse for all related groups in Monroe, Orleans, Wyoming, Livingston, Ontario and Wayne counties.

Monroe County Marshals

Marshals are volunteers that help to ensure our protests remain spaces of courage, care, and collective power. This group trains and organizes marshals for any group in Monroe County and supports those beyond.

Rochester Rapid Response Network

RRRN is a Rochester-area mutual aid group formed to support immigrants facing detention or deportation by engaging in community-based strategic actions and public education guided by directly affected immigrant families. RRRN emergency response hotline (585-420-6471) if in danger of arrest and/or detention. Donations accepted at Venmo: @RocRapidResponse.

The Perinton Food Shelf

The Perinton Food Shelf is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to combat and curb poverty and help people in need.  We are an equal opportunity provider. We do not discriminate. Perinton Food Shelf is staffed primarily by volunteers. Food supplies are donated to the Perinton Food Shelf by collections from local churches, schools, civic organizations and individuals.

Stand With Minnesota

Minnesota is under occupation by federal agents from ICE and CBP, and we needs support. This directory of places to donate to all comes from activists on the ground, plugged into the situation. Everything is vetted, with the exception of individual GoFundMe’s (not everyone is in our networks, and we don’t want to pick and choose who is worthy of help.)
