No ICE in Minnesota charity bundle is now accepting submissions
No ICE In Minnesota game jam is accepting game submissions until January 26.
In response to the Trump administration sending ICE agents to the Minneapolis area and the reckless murder of an innocent woman by an ICE agent, I am creating the No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle to raise funds for a Minnesota Based Immigrants' Rights Organization. I have reached out to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota to see if we can work with them and onboard them to itch so they may be the beneficiaries of the funds.
Get involved
Game submissions will be accepted from January 7 - January 26 at the No Ice in Minnesota Game Jam. All games submitted to this jam will be turned into a charity bundle to support a Minnesota based Immigrants’ Rights organization for a minimum donation of $10 from February 9 - March 13* pending bundle approval from itch.io.
