Win the Day: Volume 5

"Go On With Your Story. We Are All Ears." On Saturday I (Chris) took my daughter to see a show @pfunctionary gallery with @racingmagpie. It’s a mixed media installation by three Lakota artists (all women) featuring 2-D images, sculpture, and recorded interviews with Lakota women.   

Stand with Women at the Minnesota Capitol

Posted November 10, 2017

It’s time to end the culture of silence that perpetuates gender oppression Every person deserves the freedom to live, work, and exist without being targeted because of their gender. We stand with every woman who bravely came forward to fight sexual harassment at the Minnesota Legislature. We demand change. When the bodies of women are treated as bargaining chips that can be acquiesced and demanded, we collapse an opportunity to create true equity. As an organization that actively fights to break down structural racism, gender oppression, and corporate power, we publicly and actively support any person who has suffered emotional and physical trauma due to the unchecked actions of men who believe they are above the law. The experiences of Rep. Erin Maye Quade, Lindsey Port, and every woman who has come forward at the Minnesota Legislature must be examined. The halls and rooms at the State Capitol should be used to bring about race, gender, and economic equity. Never again should they be breeding grounds for sexual harassment.
