Regions went better that last year’s State because it was still early enough in the morning that the sun was not in our…

I attended the Women on Wednesday event on September 14, 2016 at Saint Cloud State University. “Beyond Those People: MN Women Experiencing Poverty” was a wonderful event about the poverty that many women in Minnesota face.

This presentation related closely to economic justice; it was evident that Debra was advocating on behave of all women that who…
