It finally feels like summer in the Twin Cities. The farmers’ markets are full of seasonal produce, and the solstice offers the peak of light and power. With recent political violence in our community (along with ICE kidnappings nationwide), these seasonal cycles remind us to center light. To come together in power. There are a few opportunities to do so listed here. There are always chances to show up for our neighbors in big and small ways.
We just celebrated Juneteenth—Freedom Day—to mark the final end of slavery. It was a day of joy and love. At the same time, we recognize that anti-Black racism is perpetuated through systems including the carceral state. In that spirit, we continue to support abolitionist Jason Sole’s appeal for a pardon. See the details below.
Keep standing up!
