Friends, in the wake of this weekend's violence, there are a lot of people who want to put time and energy towards making things better. Some have ideas, some have resources, but what we didn't have (until now) is a central way to coordinate.
So I put together this jotform: form.jotform.com/Shannon_Wats...
If you want to be a part of the work moving forward -- put your name on this list so we have a way to distribute information and coordinate, as "next steps" become respectful and appropriate.
2026 is going to be a big year for Majority in the Middle, so I'm trying to get off to a good start. I have a goal of raising $5100 by my 51st birthday. Can you toss in a few dollars to help?

Two excellent things I just observed in #mnleg House Ag committee -- First, the hearing is being co-chaired by
@reprickhansen.bsky.social and Rep. Paul Anderson. (I'm watching online so I can't get a shot of them sitting side-by-side; the official video only points to one person at a time.)
Second, before committee started
@andysmithmn.bsky.social walked over and individually greeted and shook hands with all of the members on the "other side of the aisle." Great way to start the year, Representative!
