Event Location

Tonight: Anoka Hennepin School Board Work Session
2025-08-11 18:30 - 20:30 | Sandburg Educational Center, 1902 2nd Ave, Anoka, Minnesota
Topic: Curriculum Development

Several teacher union members will be presenting at the school board work session. These teachers will be presenting about the curriculum development work they have done this summer.Over the last year, several school board members have questioned the work and expertise of teachers developing curriculum to support student learning under Minnesota’s academic standards. At this time, it is uncertain the type of questioning our fellow educators will face from board members about their work. Ultimately, the work of interpreting state standards that writing teams complete impacts teachers and students across the district. This work is best completed by those most directly responsible for instruction with students.

This is a work session, so there will not be a time for public comment. Attendees would be audience members and observers.

Please consider attending the work session if you are able.

‘NO KINGS’ RALLY - ANOKA
2025-10-18 10:30 - 12:00 | MN
About this event

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Location: Main Street Anoka, 325 East Main St. Anoka, Minnesota 55303

New Leaders Meeting
2025-10-28 17:30 - 19:00 | MN
Connect with your community, learn how to get involved, and be part of the movement for local change.

Community involvement in our local, state, and national politics is more important now than ever. We are the future; we must engage and take charge to ensure it is the type of future we want to see for ourselves, our loved ones, and future generations.

Real change begins at the local level. It may not always feel urgent, but getting involved in your city, county, and school board elections is essential to shaping the future of our communities.

The Neighborhood Network is excited to welcome new and younger leaders to get involved, on their own terms. Whether you’re ready to dive in or just curious to learn more, we invite you to join our monthly virtual calls where we’ll share who we are, what we’re working toward, and how you can take part in ways that feel right for you.

Monthly Calls

Whether you’re just curious or ready to jump in, we’d love to connect!

Emergency Protest Tonight at the Coon Rapids Civic Center
2025-10-28 18:00 - 20:00 | MN
EMERGENCY POP-UP PROTEST TONIGHT – Tuesday, 10/28

WHAT: protest AGAINST dark money/FOR social studies as a necessity in education

WHERE: Coon Rapids Civic Center, 1387 111th Ave NW, Coon Rapids, MN

WHEN: Please plan on being there by 6:15 PM with the protest starting at 6:30 PM

PARKING: Park in the Civic Center parking lot & look for the people with signs!

Background:

The Parents Alliance, the group backing A-H school board candidates Audette, Strabala, and Coan have received an large donation of $157,000. This money has been traced back to the Center for the American Experiment, the Heritage Foundation, and ALEC, whose written mission statement is to destroy public education and replace it with voucher systems for private schools.

The Parents Alliance and their backers are having a speaker at the Coon Rapids Civic Center tonight at 7PM. The speaker is employed by the Center for the American Experiment and formerly by the Heritage Foundation, which are extreme right wing think tanks/lobbyists. This speaker will be speaking AGAINST social studies/ethnic studies in Anoka Hennepin schools!

Background – AH Board members Audette, Arco, and Hoekman have blocked the adoption of new social studies as required by the MN state curriculum standards. This raises the concern about Anoka Hennepin students being able to graduate as they would not meet the MN graduation standards.

This donation of $157K is a blatant attempt to buy the largest school district in MN. We cannot let them win!

The media will be there so it’s important to have a large group protesting!

Sign Ideas:

OUR SCHOOLS ARE NOT FOR SALE

DON’T WHITEWASH HISTORY

A-H BOARD MUST FOLLOW STATE GUIDELINES

SOCIAL STUDIES ARE IMPORTANT

Public Schools are for the Public Good

Public Schools serve ALL students

ALL STUDENTS WELCOME

ETHNIC STUDIES ARE AMERICAN STUDIES

FUND OUR SCHOOLS

KEEP PUBLIC SCHOOLS PUBLIC

We are the Grassroots!

Keep school board funding local!
