1 public place under threat in Minnesota
3 groups have them in their care
The defenders
3 groups are on the record for Minnesota, each tied to it by a source our editors read, in the order they carry the weight. The other 4 are likely to care: a guess from mission and footprint, with no source tying them to this fight. Give directly; nothing routes through us.
