FREE yoga Sunday 9am at Recovery Bike Shop. Show up for yourself. Show up for Northeast. Several instructors will be offering classes (THANK YOU!) over the next few weeks to help all of us de-stress, be mindful, maintain our bodies, and just generally take care of ourselves at a time when we really need it. Join us! Take care of yourself. Take care of your community. Self care is activism! Bring your own mat. Donations accepted if you wish, but showing up is a contribution. We are doing this to help our friends and neighbors. Then join us immediately after at Coffee (Outside) 10am at Momo Cafe. We’ll share treats, stand up for our immigrant neighbors, and support a local business. #NortheastMinneapolis

🎵 Chill Pill Prescription - Global Genius

We are the reason ICE is in Minneapolis. We are a Sanctuary City. We welcome all people. We have our flaws, but hosting the largest Somali population in the US is not one of them. Being home to one of the largest Hmong communities outside of Southeast Asia is not one of them. Being the trans capital of the US is not one of them. Our people make us great. This is a photo from Coffee (Outside) last Sunday, our biggest gathering ever. We posted up in front of the Ecuadorian Consulate just days after ICE tried to enter this foreign office illegally. These shows of support are critical right now. Just being visible, just standing here chatting with your neighbors makes a difference. The bigger our crowd, the safer we make everyone around us feel, the more people feel comfortable coming out to join our crowd. I got to talk to a couple of people from Ecuador who are in hiding (and in the country legally), but felt safe venturing out because of this crowd. That makes me proud. That makes me grateful. That fills me up. Thank you, Northeast. Join us at 5:30pm every Thursday at Recovery Bike Shop to walk together on Central Ave. Help put eyes on the street. Help watch over our neighborhood. #EyesOnTheStreet

🎵 Oasis - Dhruv Goel

I don’t know about you, but so many of my healthy habits and routines went out the window these past few weeks. I’m suffering and I’m watching my community suffer. And there’s at least one thing we can do about it. We’re making our space available during off-hours for free/donation healing yoga. Come be with your neighbors for an hour of self care every week. And if you know anyone that wants to teach a class, let us know so we can take care of each other! We have been put through a lot. And we have met the challenge. But that comes with a cost. I know I need to be honest with myself about my capacity. I also need to last. Bring your own mat. We’ll have a way for people to donate if you wish, but just showing up is a contribution. Self care is activism. Self care is how we get up the next day and keep showing up. So let’s take care of ourselves while we take care of each other. #NortheastMinneapolis

🎵 Something Special (Instrumental) - Mike Floss

Can’t be a whistle blower? Not made for patrolling? You can have a direct impact on our neighborhood AND our nation starting with the DFL Caucus. (Whistle blowers and patrollers also welcome. 😉) If nothing else, it is a chance to support your neighbors, get a little sense of how our government by the people works, and thwart Trump’s hope that Minneapolis gives up. To caucus, you must… - be a resident of MN - consider yourself a Democrat Sign-in starts at 6:30 (If you live near Recovery Bike Shop, you’re probably caucusing at Edison High School.) Find your location at… dfl.org/caucus If not here, where? If not now, when? If not us, who? #WhatCanIdo
