REMEMBER: ADVOCACY TODAY IS MUTUAL AID TOMORROW.

OUR FOCUS ON FREE SPEECH -- AND FORBIDDEN CONVERSATIONS -- HAS CREATED UNIUQE

CROSS-CULTURAL ALLIANCES

NETWORKS OF INFORMATION AND MUTUAL AID

AND BI-PARTISAN COALITIONS.

WHICH WERE INDISPENSIBLE DURING

THESE PERILOUS POST-COVID, POST-TRUMP,

AND POST-FLOYD YEARS

IN MINNEAPOLIS.

thank you to our partners, volunteers,

and -- most importantly -- artists.
