One way Seward Co-op lives its Ends Statement to "sustain a healthy ... community" is through robust community grants. The SEED program is a simple yet powerful community giving opportunity that allows customers to "round-up" their grocery bill for recipient organizations that share our commitment to a healthy community. All funds donated at the register are given directly to the recipient organization at the end of each month, often totaling over $20,000 per month. Seward Community Fund (SCF) grants are smaller, but come directly from co-op resources. We also offer a small grant each year to a bike-related organization as part of our People Powered Perks program. The SEED, SCF and People Powered Perks grant application processes are combined. By submitting an application, your organization is automatically considered for all three grants. Applications for the 2021 grant cycle are now open through June 30, 2020.

Statement from the Hub Cycling Team regarding the death of George Floyd

We are all grieving the tragic loss of George Floyd and so many others before him who have died at the hands of police violence. Words cannot capture the depth of loss and pain as our community mourns. May he rest in power. Our Black and Brown community members have lived within ... the structures of systematic racism for far too long. We as a team stand with the Black community and affirm that Black Lives Matter.

George Floyd was murdered in our community, and for many of our team members, close to our homes. When we step outside we see the evidence of the destruction that is rooted in centuries of racial injustice and police violence. None of the physical destruction compares to the lives lost.

As we transition out of crisis, we must use this momentum to build a better future. We must work to fundamentally change the system that allows a violent police state and white supremacy to endure. We must support our fellow Black and Brown athletes and reach out to our friends and family to encourage them to do the same.

We ask the cycling community to commit to change through the following actions:
- Commit publicly to denouncing police violence and other forms of systematic, institutionalized racism. Advocate for defunding the police. If you are local to the Twin Cities, sign on to the Reclaim the Block petition. Call your elected leaders and ask them to defund the police and work towards community care.
- Collaborate with organizations already doing racial justice work in the cycling community, including Tamales y Bicicletas, Cyclista Zine, League of American Bicyclists, Pedal 2 the People, Black Girls Do Bike and more.
- Educate yourself and commit to educating your friends, family, and community members.
Resources include:
* MPD150: their report on the history of the Minneapolis Police Department and their FAQs about police abolition
*Five things the cycling community can do to advance racial equity
*More resources for the cycling community (see link attached)
- Donate. Redistribute the wealth that has been concentrated in white spaces towards organizations doing the work. See this list for organizations in the Twin Cities. The Lake Street Council has also organized this fundraiser to support businesses on Lake Street.

Together in Solidarity,

The Hub Cycling Team

A pesar de que una familia de Bangladesh perdió su negocio en el tumulto por la muerte de George Floyd, apoyan a los manifestantes y ayudaron a los médicos a tratarlos (...) "Dejad que mi edificio se queme", dijo. "Debe hacerse justicia".

Though a Bangladeshi family lost their business in the uproar over the death of George Floyd, they support demonstrators and helped medics treat them.

On Friday morning, as dawn broke through the smoke hanging over Minneapolis, the Gandhi Mahal Restaurant was severely damaged by fire. Hafsa Islam, whose father owns the Bangladeshi-Indian restaurant with members of his family, woke at 6 a.m. to hear the news.

"At first, I was angry," said Ms. Islam, 18. "This is my family's main source of income."

But then she overheard her father, Ruhel Islam, speaking to a friend on the phone. "Let my building burn," he said. "Justice needs to be served."

On Friday afternoon, after the fire stopped smoldering and the family came together, he repeated his support for the protests that had closed his restaurant. "We can rebuild a building, but we cannot rebuild a human," said Mr. Islam, 42. "The community is still here, and we can work together to rebuild."

For days, the Islam family has watched the protests over the arrest and killing of George Floyd, the African-American man who died on Monday after a white police officer pinned him to the ground, a knee pressed against Mr. Floyd's neck. The officer has been fired, and on Friday was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, the authorities said.

The restaurant is just a few doors away from the Third Precinct headquarters of the Minneapolis Police Department, which was set ablaze by protesters on Thursday night. Other buildings also burned, and fire eventually reached the restaurant.

Ms. Islam, who delivers food part time for Door Dash, said she had stopped her car at a red light on Monday as Mr. Floyd was arrested. She watched, horrified, from her car, she said. She learned only later that he had died.

"I understand why people did what they did," she said of the demonstrators. "They had tried with the peaceful protesting, and it hasn't been working."

Gandhi Mahal opened in 2008, during the Great Recession. Although Mr. Islam believes in nonviolent protest - he named his restaurant in honor of Mohandas K. Gandhi - he empathizes with the frustration of many Minneapolis residents.

"I am going to continuously promote peaceful ways and nonviolent movement," he said. "But our younger generation is angry, and there's reason to be angry."

So as mounted police fired tear gas into the crowd on Tuesday, the Islam family opened a room in their spacious restaurant to medics, who set up a makeshift field hospital. Ms. Islam said she saw at least 200 people come in and out on both Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Some needed to catch their breath after inhaling tear gas, she said. One woman had been hit in the eye by a rubber bullet, damaging her vision. A rubber bullet tore open the back of another man's neck. When he fell unconscious, the medics laid him out on a table.

"We were just trying to do what we could to help our community," said Ms. Islam, who helped treat wounded protesters. "Sure, we had our business. Sure, we were trying to keep our kitchen open. But more than anything, we were concerned for our people."

The tension in Mr. Islam's adopted city reminds him of his childhood in Bangladesh, when he lived through a dictatorship. Two of his fellow students were killed by the police, he said. "We grew up in a traumatic police state, so I am familiar with this type of situation," he said.

The restaurant has been a hub for interfaith efforts against climate change, and a related art collection was lost to the flames. In the basement, the family also cultivated a small aquaponics farm to supply the restaurant with fresh ingredients.

"Now probably, the whole basement is aquaponics with the water," Mr. Islam said, laughing, joking about the sprinkler damage.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday night, before the medics had to relocate to a nearby church to protect their patients, Mr. Islam kept cooking. As wounds were bandaged and hands were held in the front room, he was in the kitchen, preparing daal, basmati rice and naan. Simple food, he said, but high in protein - just the thing to get his community through a long, dark night.

Antes de comenzar a justificar estos saqueos, es necesario dejar claro que siempre es más importante las vidas de seres humanos que la seguridad de los negocios. ¿Cómo ha sido capaz el capitalismo de convencer de que la supervivencia de un negocio es más importante que la seguridad de miles de personas? y, ¿dónde quedan todos los defensores de los comercios saqueados cuando sus ciudades se llenan de centros comerciales? ¿Dónde queda su preocupación cuando grandes empresas como Amazon destruyen el comercio local?

Los saqueos están siendo uno de los puntos clave del discurso para los detractores y para aquellos que tienen reservas en apoyar el movimiento Black Lives Matter.
