We host online, in-person, and hybrid programs that advance our mission, including online song and poetry swaps, educational workshops, and other participatory activities. ATTENTION!

The 2026 PMN Winter Gathering is history! A great time was had by all! Stay tuned for videos and images from the snow-shortened weekend A NOTE OF APPRECIATION "Hi everyone (and please share this with those not on this list). I'm in the middle of cleaning up from the 9 inches of snow and still glowing from being with all of you this weekend. I've thanked some of you personally, and it is the collective that came together that I also want to appreciate. I know how hard it is to put on a gathering like this. Your persistence, grace and flexibility in the face of weather, tech and all the other surprises was tremendous." -- T. H. (PA)
We had new workshop concepts, and dazzling performances, inspiring Round Robins... profound, intense moments. There was good, healthy food. We embraced everybody! Yes, some technical glitches, but we still raised some money! We amended our By Laws, and elected new leaders. Learned lessons for next time. (So glad you could be here!) Music is life, bringing joyous camaraderie, with each precious note building true solidarity! Our streets may be filled with both ICE and red snow … but, at PMN, people power will grow through our voices together and hearts beating stronger, replenishing strength, faith and hope that much longer. We‘ve sounded the call, sang and shouted through tears! PMN members will save democracy here. We in New York, DC, Philadelphia, UK... up in Boston, Vancouver, San Francisco's great bay, in Chicago, Australia ... just go where you may -- we are with Minneapolis EV'RY damned day!
