Whistle Zine Folding Party
2
Nighthawk
Friday 10/10 5:30 pm

We're back for another round of folding and whistle/zine distribution. This time we have 900 whistles to warn neighbors of ICE.

What we need: volunteers to print zines.
Connections with community organizers to distribute whistles. Hands to help fold.

@lefttheprairie.bsky.social just heard a whistle kind of off your way and saw some vans and cops rolling down Sunnyside. Did you see anything?

Nice! We finally put our flagpole out and we’re talking about what flags to get.

If you want to do the zines, here’s where the organizer got them. linktr.ee/pilsenartsco...

We helped put a bunch together last night at Nighthawk. There must have been 40 people helping put together like 500 zine/whistle kits. It was great.

Someone beat me to this spot, but I added a few more.

It’s not a Riot without Jason Narducy on bass and GWAR on whatever GWAR is on.

Robert Redford used his immense fame to shape the entire landscape of independent cinema. He was a true titan.

There was nothing more fun about the Big Ten Basketball tournament than hearing the Gopher fans spell out “M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota” in that accent.
