SUMMARY:Stand Up for Healthy Communities!
DESCRIPTION:A healthy democracy is fueled by healthy communities\, and active participation from its citizens. As the MN Legislature considers where to direct state funding\, this rally will bring together Minnesotans of all backgrounds to share our desire for healthy\, strong\, informed and civically active communities\, where everyone belongs. We will hear from community members\, advocates\, and state leaders on important issues that are affecting families\, learn how federal and state funding work together to support essential services\, and take action with our elected officials. \n\n\n\nWomen fought for the right to vote not just for the privilege\, but for the justice they could seek as active partners in our government. Let’s stand up for a healthy democracy by supporting access to healthy communities along with access to our constitutional voting rights\, and continue to build a strong legacy for ALL Minnesotans.

DESCRIPTION:We’re joining AFL-CIO\, SEIU\, and more labor unions this May Day 2025 at the MSP Airport to stand up to Trump/Musk billionaire takeover\, corporations like Delta\, Uber\, Lyft & the Metropolitan Airport Commission who have the power to do right by workers & immigrants at MSP Airport!  \n\n\n\nWorking people across Minnesota are standing up to the billionaire takeover in Washington D.C. & saying HANDS OFF workers\, immigrants and our families.

When millions of Americans across the country show up to push back against the Trump Regime\, moving the needle from apathy to action\, it sends a strong and persistent message that average Americans are saying Hands Off to the MAGA agenda. And it’s working! Trump’s approval rating is the lowest for any President at 100 days in the last 80 years. Woot! See you on May Day.  \n\n\n\nMore info HERE

There are May Day rallies across the Twin Cities and the whole state. We’re supporting the two largest events below. We get asked a lot: do these rallies even matter? Short answer: YES! When millions of Americans across the country show up to push back against the Trump Regime\, moving the needle from apathy to action\, it sends a strong and persistent message that average Americans are saying Hands Off to the MAGA agenda. And it’s working! Trump’s approval rating is the lowest for any President at 100 days in the last 80 years. Woot! See you on May Day. \n\n\n\nThis is the next really big event: rally for immigrant and workers rights! Initiated by MIRAC\, MN Workers United\, MN Immigrant Movement\, Asamblea de Derechos Civiles\, Kalpulli Ketzal Coaltlique\, MN8\, CAIR-MN\, MFT\, Indigenous Protector Movement\, EPNI. \n\n\n\nHave event questions? Email miracmn@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Christian Nationalism - EduCivic Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a critical conversation about the rise of Christian Nationalism as a hard\, far-right political movement and the threat it poses to religious freedom. Trump has created an anti-Christian task force\, and this week\, the State Department ordered employees to report other employees suspected of having an anti-Christian bias (whatever that is).   \n\n\n\nReligious freedom is one of America’s most cherished Constitutional rights.  It is a freedom protected by the promise of church-state separation.  This line of separation is weakening–blurry\, frayed\, and thinning–under the influential weight of Project 2025’s manifesto of theocratic-authoritarianism.    \n\n\n\nWe will learn about the ways to preserve religious freedom and the theological\, secular\, and political responses to resisting Christian Nationalism.  Jerry Gale\, state director of Christians Against Christian Nationalism – MN\, will lead this important presentation & discussion. \n\n\n\nFree; refreshments served.  RSVP kindly requested.

SUMMARY:A-H School Board Show Up (Work Session)
