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


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

Oustreets 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!

Never turning back!  Never turning back!


We SHALL overcome!

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."
