Hello friends,

I’m a queer woman organizing and advocating in Iowa, and I wanted to send you a note of deep gratitude and solidarity. I used to live in Minneapolis, and Minnesota still holds a special place in my heart.

I know the weight of showing up day after day, especially when the work is hard, urgent, and deeply personal. Please know that you are seen, you are appreciated, and you are not alone. Your care for your communities matters more than you may ever fully hear, and it ripples far beyond state lines.

Sending you so much love, strength, and steady support from Iowa. Thank you for everything you are doing.

With gratitude and solidarity, Bethany
