About

We are gathering the stories of those affected by Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas. The purpose of this project is to have an accurate representation of this moment through the raw stories of everyday people.

“When we do not speak, others speak for us. And often, they speak lies.” Imam Mowlid Ali

Safety is a priority in this initiative. When sharing stories we encourage participants to please feel free to use fake names or pseudonyms to protect the people, groups, organizations, or businesses they love. 

Guidelines and Values:

  1. Participation is voluntary.

  2. Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

  3. Feel free to use fake or pseudonyms.

  4. Answers will be kept for archival purposes.

  5. Expression is therapeutic.

  6. Share with someone whose story needs to be heard.
