Nearly 500 People Show Up For Climate Strike in St. Peter

9/20/2019

Phenomenal turnout at the Climate Strike tonight in St. Peter! Almost 500 people of all ages came out tonight to join people around the world in affirming our solidarity and our commitment to fighting climate change. As our fantastic slate of speakers reminded us, climate change affects us all especially those who have the fewest privileges and resources. But we can and must make the systemic and personal changes to fix this. We will not stop fighting for a sustainable and equitable world.

Tabling at Southern Minnesota Pride Festival

9/7/2019

A beautiful day for tabling at Pride. Such a huge and wonderful crowd today, showing up to celebrate and support sexual and gender diversity. We signed up a ton of new people and got to catch up with lots of friends. Thanks so much to Protect MN for tabling with us and to our awesome volunteers.

Hundreds Come Together in St. Peter for "Lights for Liberty" Vigil

7/13/2019

What a beautiful and moving event tonight. About 150 people came out to St. Peter for the Lights for Liberty Vigil against the concentration camps at the border. This vigil was part of a nationwide event - 13 in Minnesota and more than 800 all across the country. Keri Johnson, Rev. Rita Capezzi, Rev. Dana Mann, Mohamed Ibrahim, Marian Broida, and Dan Feehan all shared powerful remarks, which will be posted in the comments below.

The crowd sang the children’s song ‘De Colores’ in honor of the children and the childhood they deserve. There were t-shirts printed with the names of the children who have died in US custody through our own government’s intentional abuse and shocking neglect. Attendees marched with candles and flashlights down to the courthouse, where we listened to their names and ages and shared a moment of silence.

So many thanks to Keri Johnson and Marian Broida for their hard work on this. What’s happening at the border is cruel, unnecessary, and destructive - of individual lives, our country’s moral standing, and our own humanity as a people. It has to stop.
