Sleeping Bags

If you care about community and social causes, the recent coordinated closures of nine Twin Cities-area grocery co-ops might catch your attention. These stores in Minneapolis, St Paul, and Stillwater observed a "Day of Truth and Freedom" to support an anti-ICE strike. It's a powerful example of local businesses using their platform to stand up for what they believe in.

While this isn't your typical product, the solidarity among these co-ops shows the strength of community-focused businesses. Supporting co-ops like these means supporting fair labor practices and social justice initiatives, which can make your shopping experience feel more meaningful.

So even though this isn't a sleeping bag or camping gear, it's worth noting how these grocery stores are making a statement. If you're in the Twin Cities area, keeping an eye on co-ops that align with your values can be a great way to shop consciously and support causes that matter.
