SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER (Back by Popular Demand!)

Join us for an evening of breaking down silos and bettering communications with interesting conversations, great food and beverage and the chance to win fantastic prizes including one $1000 grand prize. This all awaits on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at Summit Brewing in St. Paul.

We gather to speed network, in person, and share the many works of our wonderful organizations. How many times do you get so many people representing so many incredible nonprofits in one room?

Amidst wonderfully delicious food and amazing music, we will share the stories of our peace and justice actions right here in the Twin Cities.

We at Twin Cities Nonviolent (TCNV) are organizing this summer solstice meetup in prelude to our Twelve Days Free from Violence, September 21 to October 2, 2025. This event is a fundraiser for the Twelve Days Free from Violence. There are many groups that wish to join TCNV for this time and we want to support them!
