Unidos MN Education Fund

Unidos MN Education Fund (Navigate MN)

When fear and uncertainty rise, our neighbors don’t have the luxury of waiting. Unidos MN Education Fund prepares everyday people to act lawfully, confidently, and together when constitutional rights are at risk.

We train community members in person—in neighborhoods, workplaces, and places of worship—as constitutional observers equipped to defend fundamental rights in real time. This is hands-on preparation rooted in trust, presence, and accountability. It ensures that people are not alone when it matters most.

We also work directly with the business community to assert Fourth Amendment rights, so workplaces are not sites of fear, abuse, or unlawful enforcement. Dignity and safety should be the standard—in homes, on the job, and in public life.

Beyond crisis response, we organize for the world we deserve. Through ongoing, relational community organizing, our team of dedicated statewide organizers, operators and organizing fellows works every day to build leadership, deepen trust, research and design strategy, deploy communications and grow collective power across Minnesota. This long-term organizing infrastructure ensures that our communities are not only protected in moments of harm but positioned to shape the future.

We organize across multiracial, rural and urban communities, including youth, mixed-status immigrant families, people of faith, low-wage workers, small businesses, and differently-abled individuals. As an organizing organization, we build governing power, not just moments of resistance, through leadership development, base building, and civic engagement programs that strengthen democracy.
