ACTION #2: Let's Write Postcards
Saturday March 11, noon-4:30
at
Susan Hensel Gallery
3441 Cedar Ave S
Minneapolis, MN 55407
Come to Susan Hensel Gallery, 3441 Cedar Ave S, Mpls on Saturday, March 11, between noon and 4:30 to write postcards and make more buttons. I will have a stack of postcards and a list of addresses for our legislators as well as the president. We can join the Ides of March action that will inundate the White House with postcards or we can write our legislators about the particular things we care about.
We have made close to 1000 Civility Buttons so far, inviting people to talk and listen. They have been distributed coast to coast: California, Illinois, New York, Florida, South Carolina. It is time to make more! For those of you like to color...this is a coloring book type experience in the service of civil communities.
Bring a snack. Bring a friend! Bring your kid or your neighbor's kid!

Local Community Action #1
|
Community signs at First Presbyterian Church of Marshall, MI
|
An art exhibit with sign making, button making, poetry reading, music and potluck in the"gallery" space.
The evening is planned to be a wide ranging, family friendly event, that will include the opportunity to exhibit protest art; make and take yard signs that support a more positive focus; make and take buttons to remind people to "remember another way" that does not include misogyny, xenophobia and bigotry and, of course, there will be food. Bring food to share!
The history of Susan Hensel Gallery is one of community-based events that tend toward political activism. The gallery opened in the election year of 2004 with shows that dealt with electoral politics, the war in Iraq, dreams for peace. Susan retired from gallery work several years ago to return to studio practice.
