The Eller Media Company is donating public service space for a total of seven different billboards. Each will include Native artwork, a quote from an Ojibwe or Dakota ancestor, and a web site address where people can access information on the history of these Native tribes in Minnesota. The billboards will rotate among several locations throughout the Twin Cities for one year. They are currently located in St. Paul at 80 N. Snelling Ave. According to literature provided by the college, the United Nations Development Program reported in 1998 that, relative to men, women worldwide have a much higher incidence of poverty, a number that is increasing dramatically.
Women also experience a more severe level of poverty than men.
Amazon Bookstore Cooperative, the oldest feminist bookstore in the country, will celebrate its 30th anniversary in October . Holly Near and Ellis Bergeron will join local artists Ann Reed and Kim Hines for a concert performance at the Woman's Club of Minneapolis on Oct. 13. The event follows closely on the heels of Amazon Bookstore Cooperative's grand opening, which drew over 200 people to its new location at 4432 Chicago Ave. The new building also houses Pearly B.'s coffee shop and Chrysalis, a multi-service agency for women. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this store is pretty incredible.
