We would like to address recent events affecting MarsCon’s home, Minnesota:

MarsCon values “infinite” diversity. It is the future. We stand in unwavering solidarity with our neighbors, friends, and families who are currently living in fear. The militarization of our streets, the targeting of community members, and the separation of families is cruel, unacceptable, and a violation of basic human rights. We mourn for Minnesota and those who lost their lives during this insupportable siege.

If you are one of the fortunate, financially-secure or able-bodied, there are several worthy causes which could use your help right now. Here are just a few.

Charity donations may also be dropped off anonymously throughout the convention weekend at the Bridge, located on first floor, across from the hotel’s front desk. 

Thank you for your consideration and kind generosity. Cold as ice in Minnesota. Hoping for a thaw. Please be safe.
