St Cloud Member Meeting: Building Power with Legislators
Posted December 17, 2018
Our political arena at this moment is controlled by corporate power and political elites. Because of this, many people and their values are left out of the conversation. We believe to change this reality, we need to build authentic power with our leaders. Whether it’s a city council member or a U.S. Senator, building power to advance progressive policies is important and at the core of the work TakeAction Minnesota does during the legislative session.
Join TakeAction members and leaders at our St. Cloud member meeting to learn how to build power with legislators. Attend breakout sessions on our three legislative opportunities we’ve identified.
The first part of this meeting will be a training on how to build power with legislators. The second half will be breakout sessions on the three legislative priorities. Join us to learn, ask questions, and grow your own community leadership skills.

St Cloud Text and Phone Bank for the Primaries
Posted July 17, 2018
Elections matter. They matter because we can show up with our values and elect those we beleive in. They matter because they infleunce the future and are influcned by the past. Primaries are no differnt. If we want to show up with our progressive values in November we need to show up with our values in August for the primaries. If we want to build power we need to vote and we need to bring others with us to the polls.
Join TakeAction in a text-bank to invite people to join in on the fun and vote in the primaries. We will be using a text bank program (like a phone bank but texting!) to reach out to members in the St Cloud area. Training and food will be provided.

TakeAction in Winona Squad Meeting
Posted April 23, 2018
In our first meeting, we began the journey of building relationships and a vision for change for a future where all of us are able to thrive and none of us will be left out. In our wrap-up meeting before we go our separate ways for the summer, we will tell the truths about how we’ve gotten to this point and we will figure out together what we would like to work on when we return in the fall, as well as discussing how we can utilize our summer to gain power collectively and establish some roles for future meetings.
