We all owe the people of Minneapolis

We as a Nation need to come up with a way to show our appreciation. I have called to thank their Representatives but that is not enough.
Any ideas from folks here on DU?

Of people holding signs telling the world they didn’t vote for bush?

How about a site where people can post a pic of themselves with a sign expressing thanks?

this is about our humanity, and helping others. This regime we must shut down. Any of our Democratic Leaders don't stand up for the American people need to get out of the way!!!!

because this isn't over and they are likely to take their reign of terror to other blue cities. Start organizing on a grassroots level. Train people on nonviolent direct action methods, create neighborhood organizations that help immigrants by providing them with food, transportation, rent money and guards at schools, and set up Signal networks. Get ready to protect your own community.

who put it together added a place where you can send a message of support as well. https://www.standwithminnesota.com/

Otherwise, just learn from what you're seeing and bring it into your own community.
