North Star Talk — Rochester

The ACLU of Minnesota is hosting a community event in Rochester to update ACLU-MN supporters on the work we’ve been doing and the impact it has had.

Heavy appetizers will be provided and if you RSVP to hbailey@aclu-mn.org, you’ll receive a free drink ticket at the event. There will be non-alcoholic options.
