[Atons Flashmail] In the past month, our local leather community has lost two people who were once part of the Atons of Minneapolis. We pause to remember and honor the lives of Jesse Virgil Buchner and Joe Siedschlag, and the contributions they made to our community.

We are sharing celebration of life and funeral information for those who wish to attend. Our thoughts are with their friends, families, and all who were touched by their lives. - https://mailchi.mp/b32c75410e65/atons-february-extra-2026

[Atons Flashmail] Join us this month for Leather Club Night, our Monthly Meeting, Leather Socials, a taco bar L&L lunch at Casa Azul Agave, and a brand-new Kink Karaoke Takeover. We chose Casa Azul intentionally to support a local restaurant impacted by ICE and Border Patrol activity.

You’ll also find info on the MNLP Community Safety & Inclusivity Survey and upcoming MNLP events.

Check the Events Calendar for details. Come as you are. - https://mailchi.mp/3e9bbcff3436/atons-february-2026

The Pride Cultural Arts Center community aid pantry is experiencing overwhelming demand, with supplies moving out as fast as they come in. They’re asking for immediate community support to help keep up with the need.

As the Atons, we encourage our members, friends, and extended leather/kink community to step up in whatever way you can right now. If you’re able to donate non-perishable food, baby items, household supplies, or personal care items, please consider stopping by during the listed hours. Even sharing this post helps get the word out.

Care for our community has always been at the heart of who we are. In moments like this, showing up—however you’re able—matters.

Please review the details below and help if you can.

Updated needs and hours of our community aid pantry. We have been overwhelmed by community need and supplies are still flying out the door as soon as they come in. We will be open this Saturday and next week to continue to serve the community. Our Amazon wishlist is updated with our current needs and you can find it at the 🔗 in by our bio.
