How To Vote, Where To Donate Food, and Drones Fighting Forest Fires
If you haven't done so yet, go out and vote! Today's election is set to be one of the most impactful in a decade for the Twin Cities. Minneapolis's mayor and all 13 city council seats are on the ballot, and St. Paul's is voting for mayor and two ballot measures. Host Sean McPherson is joined by Contributor Winter Keefer and Creative Producer Adam Sage to go over how you can make sure your voice is heard. They also talk about Twin Cities food shelves you can support, as SNAP recipients may not be receiving their November disbursements, and how U of M researchers are using AI to detect and track wildfires.
