May Book Club
Saturday, May 30
10 a.m. at Edina City Hall

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. The title of this award winning book is part of a tweet El Akkad sent after the 2023 bombing of Gaza. He immigrated to the West believing in the promise of freedom and justice. But after twenty years of reporting on current events, he has concluded that much of what the West promises is a lie. This book chronicles his painful realization and how, as US citizens, we must grapple with it.
Book Club is open to all members of LWVE and other leagues. If you are not a current member, join us today!

Unite & Rise 8.5 and Women Defending Democracy

Unite and Rise 8.5 is an initiative from LWVUS to activate 8.5 million voters using the power of voter engagement as a cornerstone of our democracy. In Minnesota, this means that we must engage 145,000 voters through civic education and engagement, public mobilization, partnership-building, and legal advocacy. Use toolkits and resources on the LWVMN website to get involved and take action today.

As part of Unite & Rise 8.5, LWV Minneapolis launched Women Defending Democracy in June 2025 with the aim of mobilizing collective action in defense of our democracy, our rights, and our democratic institutions.

The group meets the fourth Wednesday of the month at 5 pm via Zoom. Each session focuses on a single issue, discusses concrete actions we can take, and how we track them. Topics are determined by and for WDD participants. New participants are welcome to join at any time. Learn more.
