Last Show Summary

Sunday Nights with Faye Seidler is a North Dakota news curation service that highlights stories around our state that are important for folks working in social work, education, healthcare, human rights, non-profits in general, and community.

For my show, I gave special thanks and shout-outs to the following organizations:

Bismarck Public Library for Hosting Lindsey Burkhardt for story time. High Plains Fair Housing for all your great work and your virtual conference coming up on April 9th. Cass Clay Counties Suicide Prevention for another great summit coming up April 14th. And on that same day, the 100 year old Fargo Theater for hosting Fargo the movie with special guest Peter Stormare.

Thanking Julie Fedorchak for keeping our Minot youth company in DC. F5 for their “Positive Connection” meals in minot. And Pride Collective for hosting a new Scout Group!

Then Great Plains Food Bank for providing 167,000 thousand people with food in 2025. They have a packing event happening in April to check out. And just amazing work with Youthworks, hosting an opening to their new transitional housing.

I also covered a trans sports zine opportunity closing April 3rd, a story on games done quick, the plight of a pregnant woman forced into a c-section, and the largest physician organization supporting trans care.
