Minnesota is a state in the upper Midwestern United States. It is the 12th largest U.S. state in area and the 22nd most populous, with over 5.7 million residents. More than half of Minnesotans live in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, known as the “Twin Cities”, which is the main political, economic, and cultural hub.[8] Greater Minneapolis is among the 20 largest metropolises in the U.S. Other Minnesota metropolitan areas include Duluth, Mankato, Moorhead, Rochester and St. Cloud.[9] Minnesota’s geography is highly diverse, consisting of western prairies, now given over to intensive agriculture; deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed, and settled; and the less populated North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation. Roughly a third of the state is forested, and it is known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” for having over 11,800 bodies of fresh water that are at least ten acres.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Minnesota  universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Minnesota onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of Minnesota partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of Minnesota’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.
