The violence and mounting crisis to our democracy is causing untold harm to our immigrant neighbors, to our neighbors who are being profiled because of the color of their skin, the sounds of their voice, or the neighborhoods they live in, and to all of us. We feel the fear and urgency to protect our communities from the hostility and lawlessness of this federal administration. And we are amazed at your commitment and courage in showing up for our communities. 

At MNIPL, we know that we cannot separate the work of climate justice from the work of interdependence. Systems that enforce a hierarchy of human value, that prioritize greed, extraction, and dominance over our shared humanity hurt our planet and they hurt us. The fundamental work of organizing to protect our earth depends on truth telling, and democratic leadership that works to define what a common good looks like.  

Even in the midst of crisis, we can not stop doing this critical work. You’re going to continue to see us bringing people together to create resilience hubs; rallying at the Minnesota Capitol to protect our manoomin, water and native sovereignty; and working to make sure that the renewable energy future is accessible to everyone.  

We invite you to follow your heart and to be where you need to be. And as things continue to shift and change we commit to fighting with you for the beautiful vibrancy of our shared community.
