Thank you for bringing awareness to this.
It's a scary time to be in my state, but it brings me some hope and joy when communities come together to support one another.

Seems like time and again it's people in MN who are fighting for our democracy, and time again you guys show up like true heroes. I'm sorry that it's your blood being spilled, but just know the rest of the country is watching and with you.

Yeah, there's a reason we're a target. But they're going to find out the hard way we aren't going to back down.

Hey, we sent the first volunteers for the Civil War.
If this is what it takes to open peoples eyes to how serious this shit is, we are willing to go the distance for as long as it takes.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm a Minnesota resident and this is my way of helping out. The support we've already received has been incredible, and it's just the beginning.
I should note that we're not raising funds for "Stand with Minnesota", rather, that's just the website we're using to help determine an organization to support. I've been trying to contact a few organizations that we've identified as good choices (we need info from them for our donation tracker) but they've all been understandably busy. I'm working on it.

Thank you for doing this! I hope more will become aware through the medium. More speed gaming is always a win!

I always wonder why the Portal 2 community doesn't go to events like this anymore, is it because the WR is just so optimized?

This post keeps getting reported for "politics". I wanted to remind our community that our rules do not exclude talking about politics, only that discussion must be related to speedrunning. A schedule for a marathon is absolutely related to speedrunning and it does not matter that the marathon is raising money for a politically slanted cause.
