Back to EpisodesHow An Adult Store Raised $1 Million in Mutual Aid
Description
A South Minneapolis sex store used their virality and social media reach to fundraise hundreds of thousands of dollars in mutual aid during Operation Metro Surge. We dive deep into the story of Smitten Kitten, and how they went from almost closing forever to rallying a community behind them. Their partnership with a nonprofit serving Somali women shows how perceived differences fall away in moments of crisis, and why anyone can answer the call to service.
