If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

whatever it may be, your movement needs poets (don't always look like Poets), not grifters, because every movement needs people who patiently examine, life long, how language pricks and punctures and grazes and warms and holds and pushes us toward what we don't know yet how to say--world in process
