We have an update to share with all of you. Over the next few months, the Pollen board and staff are preparing to sunset Pollen and intentionally phase out its programming. pollenmidwest.org/stories/sunset
Be prepared for misty eyes with this news. Thank you to @PollenMidwest for the goodness you provided in our community in numerous creative ways.

I never thought that little email newsletter we all started together back in 2008 would grow like it did, but those roots of caring connectivity we planted went deep! TY Pollen staff, members, funders, donors, partners, board members, volunteers and friends for an amazing run!!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Rise and Hive last month! Join us for the next one on March 7th at The Briar. riseandhiveMar24.eventbrite.com #RiseAndHive
For months, the remaining team at Pollen has been imagining a more healing and restorative response beyond the examples we experience or expect. Before we move forward by sharing more programming and stories, please take a moment to read Ruby’s last word. pollenmidwest.org/stories/the-la…
A veto proof majority of the Minneapolis City Council has just passed the most incredible ceasefire resolution in the country! VIVA VIVA PALESTINA!!!!
Join us Wednesday, January 31st at The Briar for the return of #RiseandHive — a free event that has served as a space to connect with the Pollen community over the years. pollenmidwest.org/events/riseand…

To start out with a bang: This #GTMD23, Pollen is launching an online store! 💥 For their first inaugural sale item, we have a lovely wall calendar thoughtfully designed by @LemanieGrace ❤️ store.pollenmidwest.org/product/2024-w…
Shout out to this stunning, thoughtful pivot from @PollenMidwest . I didn't make any #GTMD23 appeals today, until now. While there's still time consider the new options they are offering + a gift towards their Give to the Max day goal.

@cathymcleer @aarpmn @PollenMidwest When you ask me to host your event, I'm gonna be first to get there and last to leave. Just ask my friends at @aarpmn. I wrapped up emceeing their Dollars & Decades dinner discussion about an hour ago and I'm still laughing with guests, meeting new friends and taking selfies...

Residents accuse Park Board of illegal tree removal and unjust charges - “It's imperative to spotlight the significant injustice taking place right here in my own backyard,” said Felicia Perry. Felicia, was charged nearly $5,000 for the removal of 2 Ash trees from her property
As some of you know, I joined the board at @PollenMidwest this year because I believe wholeheartedly in their mission. You can support them too -- check out the thread: ⤵️
Though Pollen has evolved over the years, we are what we’ve always been — an organization that uses stories to help create a more kind, just, and loving world.

To that end, consider donating to @PollenMidwest today and supporting them through Patreon. 'We’re facing difficulty the only way we know how — by sharing more of our story, and inviting you in new ways to be a part of it.' pollenmidwest.org/stories/someth…
I know that Pollen is working on processing hard things and talking about these events openly for community and personal learning and healing. And I know for 2024, there's a whole slew of Pollen projects that focus on this topic through many different lenses.
To Pollen's credit, and really @LemanieGrace's credit, I appreciate getting to hear about it and to explore what can be learned in Melanie's letter pollenmidwest.org/news/bloomagai…
We don't talk about the unexpected events, or the culture(s) that could lead to this possibility. And, we also don't know how exactly to talk about all the harm and pain caused to everyone involved, and later down the line, the healing that's possible.
I'm highlighting this letter because the possibility of sunsetting an organization is a reality that we don't talk about often enough in transparent or empathetic ways. Or maybe more specifically, we're still learning how to talk about it and learn from it.
Finally, this is shared in the first link, but adding it again here: Pollen has had an unexpectedly hard year to say the least. I encourage you to read @LemanieGrace's letter which outlines some 2023 events: pollenmidwest.org/news/bloomagai…
Re: Patreon - Pollen has a rich history of making stunning physical design ephemera for their events. Now I don't have to wait for the next Pollen event to snag beautifully printed items 💌 Patreon supporters can expect to receive digital content and printed items frequently🔥
And, this is exciting: Pollen has also decided to start a Patreon 🎉 patreon.com/pollenmidwest
