Do Good Roseville wants to support our immigrant neighbors in any way we can.
We have hosted and/or participated in meetings with Roseville Area School District, Roseville Police Department and local faith communities to discuss support for immigrants. Our most recent meeting was with faith communities and the ACLU.
Welcome Cards
Something we heard can be helpful is to make personal cards that can be given to our immigrant and refugee neighbors telling them they are welcome here and we support them. You can choose to give them to people directly or you can give them to Do Good Roseville to share with our community organizers on the front line of this work. Below is a chatgpt generated guide for how to write the cards.
If you want to have DGR distribute the cards, you can drop them off – anytime – at 1161 Laurie Road West. There will be a plastic bin the left side of the driveway.
Whistle Kits
The speaker for the ACLU said that the whistle kits that have been used in Chicago have been very effective, so we have purchased 600 whistles and will be making the whistle kits to distribute in our community on Tuesday, Dec 9, from 3:00- 5:00 at Byerlys in Roseville.
To expand the reach, here are links so others can make their own kits:

Immigrant Protection and Prep against Ice Raids
Below is a link to a packet of information on Immigrant Protections designed to be distributed to businesses and schools. It was assembled by Jill Budzynski, who is a member of Indivisible Twin Cities. The documents have been compiled from multiple resources that are cited in the documents. If you have questions, you can reach Jill at jill@budzynski.com.
Do Good Roseville is hosting a meeting on Friday, Dec 12, from 3:00 to 4:30 at the Roseville Library in the Board Room on the 2nd floor to bring together community members to figure out how we can distribute this information.
You are welcome to distribute this information:
