Hello, Minnesota. Welcome to the Twin Cities Kossacks‘ Minnesota Open Thread, a weekly post for all things Minnesotan. Join us to Connect, Unite and Act with other Minnesota Kossacks. Posting most Sundays
OPEN THREAD — SUNDAY MORNING — Jan 5, 2020
A crowd estimated at around 200 people by local media gathered yesterday at Mayday Plaza in Minneapolis’ Cedar Riverside Neighborhood for an emergency protest against U.S. actions in Iraq. The “U.S Troops Out of Iraq — No War on Iran” protest was organized by the Minnesota Peace Coalition, Women Against Military Madness, and other local groups.
Any Minnesota Kossacks out there who were at the protest Saturday? Here is a link to the Minnesota Peace Coalition’s Facebook album with photos of the event. The rally yesterday was one of 70 held across the country to protest the growing threat of war with Iran.
Our first meetup of the new year is just a few weeks away. Here are the details:
- The Twin Cities Kossacks will meet at 11 a.m, Saturday, Jan. 18 at Turtle Bread, 4762 Chicago Ave. So., Minneapolis (map here).
The January meetup will be the second anniversary of the Twin Cities Kossacks having regularly, monthly meetups. The group was started several years ago and had had one meet-up, but then was dormant for several years until starting up again in 2017.
A little blast from the past: checkout the photo from our meetup two years ago.
Here’s RSVP list so far, post below or Kosmail me if you are a yes, or even a maybe. We’ll update this over the next few weeks.
