About Us
Our Vision
MNKnow.net is a growing movement built on the conviction that community-driven journalism is essential for Minnesota’s future. While we are in our early stages, our vision is clear: to create a platform where Minnesotans come together, share information, and amplify each other's voices.
We are building a vital resource for news and citizen-driven journalism — especially in critical times when reliable information and community support matter most. As we grow, MNKnow.net will become a dynamic hub where neighbors stay informed, stay connected, and make a meaningful impact together
The Minnow Net
In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, we understand that information — like our waters — can sometimes flood in, overwhelming our sense of direction. MNKnow.net was created to help our communities navigate the current. We serve as a citizen-driven platform for news, resources, and reflections, giving Minnesotans a voice and a guide through times of uncertainty.
The Power of the Sieve
Information shouldn’t be a flood that sweeps us away. At MNKnow.net, we act as an informational sieve, sifting through the noise to highlight the vital truths, resources, and stories that matter most. By filtering out misinformation and focusing on reliable facts, our goal is to provide a clear view of critical issues — from ICE enforcement and immigrant advocacy to the everyday challenges that our neighbors face.
Small Fish. Big Impact.
Alone, an individual can feel small and vulnerable in a vast world. But when we come together, we find strength in numbers. As we transform from a single fish to a school, we gain the security of knowing we are part of something much larger—a collective that amplifies our voices and magnifies our impact.
MNKnow.net is designed to help us organize, access, and share vital information in those critical moments when we need each other most.
Our Core Beliefs:
- Knowledge is the Net: When we share verified information, we create a safety net that protects the most vulnerable.
- The School is the Strength: We are a network of citizen volunteers and concerned neighbors. Individually we are small, but together we create a collective force that can navigate, resist, and overcome much larger challenges.
- Local Roots Matter: We focus on Minnesota because this is our pond. We know the waters, the people, and the local resources that make a difference.
Our Evolution
As a growing community platform, we’re building not just a library of resources, but a hub for news, reflections, updates, and community-driven journalism. As our "school" expands, so will our site—becoming a more dynamic space where people can stay informed, engage with local issues, and contribute to the conversation.
At MNKnow.net, we gather to get informed, get involved, and get moving. Because when we school together, we don’t just survive the current—we change it.
Don’t just watch the waters—help us navigate them.
School with us. Join the net. Be in the know.
