The Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc) has been doing outreach and receiving calls from many stores in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota, where ICE and other federal forces have been treating both citizens and non-citizens brutally. Binc is providing free mental health services and emergency financial assistance to employees and store owners where it can. It's also "lending an ear for when the trauma gets to be too much."
Booksellers and comic retailers can reach out via phone (1-866-733-9064); on Binc's website; or via e-mail.
