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.
Building Power with Your Legislators Training:
Voting is important, but even more so are the many ways people get involved after Election Day to hold our representatives accountable. This training prepares you to go deeper with your legislator and to help you get in a relationship with the very issues they are elected to tackle.… Continue reading »
Demystifying the Mental Myth: A Community Conversation
Posted June 13, 2018
We are in a political moment that is often driven by fear, but we know that the only way our communities can heal and build power, is by creating a vision of what is possible. This event will be led by women of color health practitioners sharing their experiences around mental health, and particularly on the disparity of treatment for people of color. The second half of the event will include small breakout sessions to practice our value of healing together in public. We will also include mental health resources in our closing. This will be an open, safe, and welcoming space to connect deeply with each other to strengthen our community.
Childcare and Transportation available upon request.… Continue reading »
Come Out For Care!
Posted May 8, 2018
We are an emerging alliance of child care providers, parents, clergy, home care workers, school employees, small business owners and community organizations uniting to ensure that every child, parent, grandparent, and caregiver in Saint Cloud can live with dignity.
We are gathering the day-after Mother’s Day to right historic wrongs. Minnesota lawmakers and employers have a long history of undervaluing care work, which is primarily done by women. We are holding community leaders accountable for bad choices they have made in the past that have hurt children, elders and caregivers. Community leaders to move forward by partnering with us to put forth bold solutions for our families.
There is not a family in St. Cloud that can go without care. Join us!
