One of them was cancelled because it's in the shelter-in-place area, but the rest are on. I'm off to one of them in a bit, not at all afraid to be there. (For a flyover state we sure manage to get tangled up in big national incidents (e.g., George Floyd)). I hope the people who had planned to go to the cancelled event in Anoka will go to one of the others; there are at least six or seven in the Twin Cities area. It's even more important now!

Oct/2020:
Feds say far-right group coordinated attack on Minneapolis police precinct during protest
The U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Minnesota on Friday announced that the FBI brought charges against a member of the far-right Boogaloo Bois group for organizing and participating in an effort to incite a riot outside a Minneapolis police precinct in May amid protests against the police killing of George Floyd.
According to the legal complaint filed Monday, Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, who claims to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, communicated with fellow members in late May ahead of a planned trip to Minneapolis as police had already started clashing with protesters in the city.

Protesters need to be watchful of their surroundings. I salute all who are participating today.
Sadly, this event underscores the urgency of the moment.
