WDIO-WIRT was good enough to do this morning show interview with a couple of organizers for this event that I am helping with on Saturday. We’re giving out seedlings for dads, among other things. That’s why I mention it. The event itself is called “MN Father’s Forever” and it is designed to help promote connections between dads and their kids, especially for dads who have been around the block a few times, so to speak. Sometimes dads get so far behind on child support or they have trouble navigating the custody and family court system and they just give up. So we’re working with those guys, too. We want to help them get re-connected. I wrote some details for the event here on our Facebook event page.

Bring our war dollars home!” was the message of the more than 120 protesters who participated in the Northland Anti-War Coalition’s April 15 Tax Day protest. The event was held to highlight the fact that hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax dollars are being wasted every year on the unjust wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. At the same time this is going on federal, state and local governments are being forced to cut social programs due to budget shortfalls. The NAWC protest called for our tax dollars to be spent on human needs, rather than war.
