Special Note From Mikki
Four years ago today I bought Minnesota Women's Press. We have new team members, new diversity of topics, and always the same focus on putting women's collaborative and inspirational power, and challenges, at the center.

Please join in as we enter a new year focused together on finding stories, creating solutions, and building statewide solidarity.

Changemakers Alliance:
Stories, Solutions & Solidarity

We look forward to opening the new year with the first two Changemakers Alliance conversations — get-acquainted "salons" when we have the rare opportunity to talk about our fears.

Minnesota Women's Press conducted a survey to help set the stage. Survey participants told us about fears related to climate change, housing insecurities, public safety, trauma, political polarization, and much more. Writers will open up the conversation by sharing their fears. Subgroups will form based on member interests (equity, justice, trauma, environment).

What Are We Afraid Of?
January 8 (Saturday) at 9am, or January 12 (Wednesday) at 3pm.

Next up: Legislative Priorities
February 9 or 12


Together we create statewide solidarity

Thank You!

Our first underwriter Tanya Korpi — the only woman Valvoline franchise owner, with hubs in northern Minnesota — gave us funding to begin the process for this work.


Minnesota Women's Press has connected me
with dynamic, inspiring women whom I would not have otherwise met. How can we come to understand one
another and cooperate if we don't get a chance to meet?
The challenges we face in this state are big — but so are the ingenuity, heart, and open arms that the MWP reveals in us.

— Ranae Hanson, author, “Watershed”
In 2021, we piloted conversations thanks to the Valvoline franchise and a grant from Minneapolis Foundation.
