<div dir="ltr">Jim,
<div> Many thanks for these poems that speak so clearly -- we shared them with our UCC congregation. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Minneapolis progressives met at Shiloh Temple (a Black church) on Saturday, Jan. 28. They hoped for 1,000, but 2,000 people showed up from ISAIAH churches (known as Gamaliel in Chicago) this weekend, along with our Sen. Al Franken and Mayor Betsy Hodges to address our most pressing issues at the state level with empowered force. Wonderful to see Latinos show up along with many Muslims, Catholics, Jews, Protestants, black and white all coming together on the issues of affordable health care, affordable housing, increasing the minimum wage, quality early education for all, providing sanctuary for people threatened by deportation, and more. Such solidarity among these groups I've never seen before! Local congregations coming together in an ecumenical way -- this is the face of hope in these times. </div>
