Name

for Local Democracy

Snowflakes, when they come en masse, can create a powerful storm! We are neighbors organizing in Red Wing to defend democracy, confront authoritarianism, and build resilient, caring community across our city.

A simple wooden ballot box, its surface scratched and scuffed from years of use, sits on a heavy oak table inside a dim town hall. A bold red wing emblem is painted on its side, slightly chipped at the edges. Outside the tall, frosted windows, a snowstorm rages in soft focus, snow streaks lit by a distant streetlamp. Cool blue-gray daylight mixes with a single warm pendant light above, casting a protective circle of warmth around the box. Photographic realism, eye-level composition, and crisp focus on the box convey determination, community defense of voting, and steadfast democracy amid turbulent conditions.

Why Red Wing Snowstorm Exists

We are a grassroots network of residents responding to rising authoritarian threats by educating neighbors, defending voting rights, and creating spaces where everyone in Red Wing can participate, feel safe, and shape our shared future.

Red Wing Snowstorm organizes local No Kings protests, as well as training safety marshals for the local events.

An old mechanical typewriter in matte black metal sits on a sturdy desk near a frost-covered window, keys worn smooth from constant use. A fresh page in the carriage bears the bold, centered title “Resisting Authoritarianism” in crisp, dark ink, with paragraphs of dense text below. Outside the window, snow swirls in diffuse streaks against a darkening sky, streetlights turning the flakes into drifting points of light. Cool natural dusk light is balanced by the warm glow of a single desk lamp, highlighting the texture of the paper and metal. Photographic realism with a slightly angled close-up emphasizes the page, evoking investigative journalism, progressive thought, and steadfast intellectual resistance.

Snowstorm Observers program Observers sit through Red Wing City Council, Red Wing School District and Goodhue County Commission meetings and report their observations of what happens at those meetings.
