Fuck yeah ✊

Glad to see people getting out there and mainstream media actually covering it

Another #RuralFolksRally coming up 6/14 in Aitkin County. We might be a small group in a small town, but these rallies have been a good way to strengthen community & connect to other local issues & actions. Share around & join us if you can!

"In dark times, people have always found ways to make their own light. That work is now upon us."

One of the election reflections I found inspiring & useful, from organizer Kelly Hayes. I'll pull some of my favorite pieces into this thread.
