VIDEO: Saturday, February 15 — 2014 Annual Meeting Livestream
Posted February 12, 2014
Our 2014 Annual Meeting & Progressive Carnival is this Saturday, February 15th at 10:30 a.m. at St. Paul Central High School Hundreds of Minnesotans will gather to launch TakeAction’s work for the year and to dream big about the change we want to see in our state in the long term — and we hope that you’ll join us (get the details here).
But if the drive is too far or you can’t get away from the house, we still want you to be a part of the day. Watch live on this page from your home starting at 11:00 a.m. this Saturday.
You’ll join a program in three acts. We’ll remember parts of our state’s progressive history and the people whose shoulders we stand on. We’ll talk about how we win by building relationships and partnerships, and why it matters that we shape the stories that get told about us. We’ll also explore what it takes to build the Minnesota we want — winning elections, winning campaigns, investing in our movement, and dreaming big together.
The program will start at 11:00 a.m. — hit play below to start watching, and then join the conversation on Twitter by tweeting @TakeActionMN with hashtags #ForwardTogether and #TAMN. … Continue reading »

I am told she was a wise woman who loved with all her heart. I grew up hearing stories of her doing back breaking work in the plantation fields of Alabama. She died when I was barely walking but I have idolized her all my life.
Hearing those stories, I always have had a sense of pride in my roots; pride that my people have been struggling for a very long time but we have continued to survive and figure out ways to strive. When I am asked “why I do what I do”, it always has been about my family’s history of struggle for dignity. I constantly remind myself that I am not alone, that I stand on the shoulders of warriors in a long battle for justice.
My favorite Grandma Hickman story is of her time breast feeding the babies on the plantation. She told my mom that she would breast feed the babies of the white and black “servants.”… Continue reading »
