“We the People January 6th Day of Remembrance and Action” Vigil on January 6, 2022 Duluth City Hall, noon - 1 pm.
January 6, 2022, marks one year since the violent insurrection of our national Capitol. This was the start of ongoing attacks on our democracy throughout the year resulting in many states passing laws that make it harder to vote. On January 6, we will come we will come together to build community, condemn the actions from the insurrection, and work to pass key voting rights legislation.

From Honor the Earth:

“... We believe Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General is a good man. We want to see the future of young people protected.

So, as we watch 1000 people face charges for protecting our waters from the Canadian corporation, we are asking that the charges be dropped against water protectors.

There are hundreds of young people who will have charges on their records forever and all of this was financed by a foreign corporation..they need commendations not jail." - Winona LaDuke

From the Democratic Socialists of America:
“On Election Day we had 32 nationally-endorsed local candidates and five ballot initiatives. If the races that are yet to be called hold in their current positions, we had a 69% win rate last night. Sidewalk Socialism--a grassroots movement to transform our cities and beyond--is rising.”
