Thank you for meeting us here, in the land of 10,000 bombs.
This is a newsletter about our exploration of the military industrial complex in Minnesota. It’s also about the local people doing what they can to resist it.
We find this status quo unconscionable, and we expect that if you are reading this, you probably do, too. We’re not sure exactly what to do about it but we’re hoping we can figure it out together. We’re hoping this newsletter, where we plan to share our findings about Minnesota’s active complicity in the military industrial complex—as well as the many, many people working to change this—is just the beginning.
Or rather, another beginning. From the Christian-led mass civil disobedience organization “The Honeywell Project” of the ‘70s and ‘80s, to the Jewish affinity group “Hannah Arendt Lesbian Peace Patrol” of the ‘80s and ‘90s, to the Indigenous people who’ve resisted imperialism since European colonizers first arrived, local people have been fighting the war machine here since long before any of us were born. We stand on their shoulders, their torch ours to keep lit.
