Their community. Their neighbors. Their responsibility.

When immigration enforcement surged in Minneapolis, the story drew national attention. But for the journalists covering it, this wasn’t a headline. It was happening on their streets.

For one night, we’re bringing two journalists from Minneapolis to St. Petersburg.

This is a rare opportunity to hear what it takes to report on your own community during a moment of national pressure and misinformation. The decisions, the trade-offs and the responsibility that comes with getting it right.

Learn more and reserve your seat for this exclusive evening event on Wednesday, June 3.

We’re proud to bring this level of journalism to St. Pete.

You won’t want to miss it.
