Celebrating our community and raising funds for a cause with an incredible line up of doers! Special guest Jillian Hiscock, a passionate connector of people, shares her journey from helping first generation college students thrive to founding A Bar of Their Own, MN’s first all-women’s sports bar and a community gathering place with heart. Musical guest Sarah Morris performs gorgeous songs that illuminate belonging to each other, spreading kindness and loving that special glow. Stephanie March, creator of The Salt Cure Restaurant Recovery Fund, details the urgent need in the Twin Cities, post ICE occupation, to support restaurants and their workers. Our generous audience donated over $6500 to this fund! Ann Treacy with Women’s March MN takes us through the dedication of this all-volunteer organization to plan, organize and live stream every event, vigil and march! Katie Eckeberger, a song leader with the Singing Resistance movement, leads our audience through two original songs that motivate us to not only continue fighting, but to heal. Dae Yang shares powerfully how Metro Surge affected her personal perception of what living in the “land of the free” really means as a child of refugees. And Sue, supported by a gorgeous new song from Zippy Laske, brings us stories of the angels who are showing up out of nowhere just when we need them most.
