Thursday, December 19, 2019, 6:00 - 10:00 pm
Location: Black Dog Cafe, 308 Prince St, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101

It’s time for our annual Holiday Third Thursdays event, when we gather to Do Good Together. Join us for a night of community, action, and politics, celebrate the end of 2019 and kick off 2020 with power and purpose. Register today! Organized by WMM, ERA MN and MSP NOW

We did it! We survived another year! That means it's time to come together as a community and end this year on a high note, so join us for a Third Thursdays fun night of community and action. 

Grab a drink and toast your friends in this fight, and then make some new ones. 

Celebrate your wins from 2019, talk about your plans for 2020, and learn what topics we’re going to be tackling next year at our monthly Third Thursdays.

Pitch in on one of our many community service activities available on the night – making scarves for new refugees, assembling care kits for those who need them, writing thank-you cards to legislators at our gratitude table.

We're also accepting donations that night, so bring your paperback books for the Women's Prison Book Project, hygiene products and diapers for Perspectives, cash or gift cards for our friends at Women's Advocates. We'll be selling holiday cookies to raise funds for one of these orgs, too.  

We’ll also be screening the Democratic Debate!

It’s a fun night out, full of all your favorite things: building community, making positive change, and talking progressive politics. We can't wait to celebrate another year with you.

The event is free, but register here as space is limited.
