Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46. Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits. Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense.
