Dear Minnesota,

Thank you for undertaking the labors of resistence: out loud, in quiet, in the streets, in your homes and shops and schools and places of gathering. Thank you for showing the hard and transcendent work of being neighbors and community, and organizing strength. Thank you for having incredible jouralists. Thank you for demonstrating what’s difficult and what’s possible. Thank you for linking arms and alarms. Thank you for trying to tell your stories — we are inspired and we are cheering for you even in tiny, far away places.
