Mercy in Motion is a One City initiative mobliizing care, advocacy, and community support in response to current events impacting families, children, and neighborhoods across Minnesota.
Why this work Matters Now:
Acknowledge har, fear, and uncertainty in the community
Center families, children, and those most impacted
Name the need for responses that are both compassionate and accountable
Emphasize community-led action
When systems cause harm or fail to protect, communities must respond with mercy, justice, grace and action - together!
Our Approach:
Families and children are at the heart of Mercy in Motion. We provide immediate assistance during times of instability, distribute care kits and essential resources, and offer child-centered wellness supports that prioritize safety, stability, and emotional well-being.
Justice requires understanding, access, and accountability. This work equips community members with clear information about their rights, and protections, connections to families to trusted partners and supports transparency action — grounded in dignity and respect for all.
Safety is strongest when communities look out for one another. Through coordinated neighbor-to-neighbor support, safety-focused volunteer efforts, and resource navigation, we strengthen trust, connection, and practical care - ensuring families know where to turn and who is waking alongside them.
We create intentional spaces where individuals and families can pause, be heard, and begin to heal. Through community listening circles, trauma-informed support for both adults and youth, and creative wellness practices, these spaces offer restoration, connection, and the assurance that no one has to process pain alone.
