Frederick Douglass Reading June 29, 2024

On Saturday June 29, 2024 readers deliver the famous speech "What to the American Slaves is Your Fourth of July."  If you wish to participate email 


While reading Frederick Douglass’ work is a powerful experience for many, it is only one piece of the long-overdue conversations that our communities need to have. We hope that the readings will be a starting point for these difficult dialogues and that they will provide an opportunity for us to engage in deeper conversations that will lead to actions to help build more inclusive and just communities today.

Fireside Chat - An open Discussion Minneapolis and beyond

 In light of national events, we used this Fireside Chat to discuss recent events and spend time healing. The goal of the night was to allow our community a sacred space to share thoughts, to perhaps become enlightened by new thoughts, and at best to spark the minds of the community to unite and lift each other up.
