Building Community in the Copper Country
Hello, friends! We have a very active community here in the Keweenaw/Copper Country. My goal is to help create a community that uplifts and protects everyone. I want to make community information more accessible and to encourage everyone to get out there and get involved. I will work with any local progressive groups to create a centralized "hub" of information and events. The core values of this page are: Help fight corruption by building community. Many people feel powerless right now when we look at the big picture. But through local government and organization, we have the best way to make a real impact. Joy is resistance. We need to rest, and love, and have fun. We can not make it through hard times without it and without each other. Community means helping and protecting our neighbors. To do that, we need to KNOW our neighbors. Similarily, this is a safe space for everyone. But, that does not include hate, bullying, misinformation, or bigotry.
