[From the Open Publishing Newswire]

We're converging under the banner of “Shut down, rise up!” to respond tothe Minnesota's expected government shutdown, and we'd like you to join us.

Starting on July 1st, we'll be coming together in Powderhorn Park (3400 15th Ave S, Mpls) every evening to share resources, organize political action, and build community. A free meal will be provided starting at 5pm every day, followed by a general assembly. We'll also have music and fun! Bring what you can and take what you need!
