It's time to take a collective breath and look ahead. Join us this Saturday, November 21st, from 11am-1:30pm ET for Love & Democracy: The Women Who Made it Happen.
We’re telling the real story -- the hard work on the ground, the real threats to our safety, and the stories that the media have missed about the power of organizing and who is behind it. Our goal is to provide a community forum of support, love and hope and healing. Additionally, we will be joined by frontline experts who will share an election analysis and give us a closer look at the role of women and BIPOC communities in this election. Reserve your spot: htbit.ly/3kvvWcI

Progeny Academy (which is housed at the church across the street from CAPI) in Brooklyn Park is enrolling grades 4th-8th right now—all classes held virtually, but taught live—no recorded classes.
The Director of the school advised this could be an option for parents not wanting to send their children to a physical location for schooling. All technology is provided to students, along with breakfast and lunch all week (delivered twice a week to the students’ homes). They also deliver school supplies.
Progeny is a new tuition-free public charter school that opened in the fall of 2019. For more info you can check out their website:

Veterans are those who stand up and fight.
Because they know this is right.
They cross the bright and shining sea.
To give us our chance to live and be free.
They leave their families and closest kin.
For God and country our lands they defend.
It’s time we pay tribute for all they have done.
They are ALL Heroes – each and everyone.
They did not do this for glory or even fame.
They did not set out to be Heroes – but that is their name.
To those many people that are red, white, and blue.
We stand up proudly today and say “THANK YOU!!!”
