The app for independent voices

My friend Kathy Monson Lutes, a local MN clergy-member said this in her sermon last week.

“A statistic I discovered this week, and a reflection for you to consider.  90% of the community activation in Minneapolis is neighbor care.  Not protest. Not legal observation. But community response work: feeding the hungry, protecting schools, getting medicines to people who need them. Singing in the neighborhood so people stuck indoors, fearful of authorities, will know they are not alone. When what is happening in Minneapolis, and soon in Maine, in Ohio, and all over is called protest, you flatten the level and diversity of the response. You play into the framing of a violent regime.  

We are resisting, and there is something else happening here that’s not just resistance. It's a paradigm shift.  Minnesota has been abandoned by the federal government, so the people have taken over, and it is incredible.”

This is a paradigm shift.

The iceberg is flipping!
