SUMMARY:A Call for Global Repair
DESCRIPTION:Join MNIPL and our partners at ActionAid USA for an important presentation and discussion on international climate justice! \nCLICK HERE TO SIGN UP \nGlobal systems of extraction and greed have exacerbated an unequal world\, one where the countries who have benefited least face the most dire consequences of climate change. We believe that in order to address the impacts of global climate change\, the countries whose governments and corporations have caused the most harm to the planet and its people must pay their fair share to repair it. \nStaff and board members of MNIPL will share about how our organization has taken action to redress global harms\, from helping to rebuild after floods in Bangladesh to working with local\, national\, and international organizers in successfully pushing the United States to commit to funding for global repair. \nSpecial guest Brandon Wu of ActionAid will share about what has happened over the last year since this funding was committed and talk about where we go from here. Your support is desperately needed to make sure the US makes good on its promises and commits to funding repair in way that ensures that those most impacted by climate change decide what repair looks like for them — not the US. \nCome for a light lunch and dialogue and leave with a renewed promise to help the US to show up globally in a way that promotes justice and peace. \n

SUMMARY:Climate Justice & Indigenous Rights: A Christian Opportunity to Rise & Repair
DESCRIPTION:Rise & Repair is a diverse alliance of people and organizations advancing Indigenous rights & climate justice during Minnesota’s 2024 Legislative Session. \nJoin us to learn more about how Rise & Repair can be a place for you to get involved and support the work different partners are pushing for during this Legislative Session. You’ll get information on specific bills being proposed\, ways that you can get involved\, and lots of opportunities to engage in caring for creation. \nFeatured Speakers: \n\nDr. Jimmy Hoke\, Director of Children and Family Ministries at House of Hope Presbyterian Church\nLiz Loeb\, Associate Director at Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nA note: MNIPL is an intentionally multi-faith organization\, which means we have supporters who practice a number of different faiths\, spiritual beliefs\, and spiritual practices who have a shared goal of creating a more just\, sustainable world. And\, we know that our different faiths call us to that work in different ways. This is an opportunity for Christian communities to talk about how a commitment to caring for creation calls us into action around Indigenous rights and climate justice.\n \nWe need folks from across multiple communities of faith\, conscience\, spiritual beliefs\, and spiritual practices to be part of this work\, respecting the unique tenets of our faiths while celebrating our shared passion for repairing this world and caring for the people in it. If you’re interested in getting involved in our work in Jewish communities\, please check out this blog post with a recording of a similar event for Jewish communities and contact Juventino at juventino@mnipl.org. If you’d like to help facilitate a similar conversation within your own community of faith\, conscience\, spiritual belief\, or spiritual practice\, please get in touch with Liz at liz@mnipl.org

SUMMARY:CO2 Pipelines in Minnesota: Fossil Fuel's Quiet Game Plan for Drilling More Oil
DESCRIPTION:Carbon dioxide pipelines are being sold as a necessary part of meeting our climate goals. What industry representatives don’t like to mention is that that compressed CO2 will likely end up in oil wells in North Dakota to push out more oil – a process called Enhanced Oil Recovery.  \nWe know that a safe and equitable transition to a greener future means ending our use of fossil fuels\, not finding more creative ways to hide it. Join us to learn more about how these pipelines are bad news for Minnesota and how you can help fight them! \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP

SUMMARY:Clean Heat by 2040: What will it take to get there?
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota has made a commitment to being carbon-free in our electricity production\, but many of us are still using natural gas to heat our homes. Despite the fact that there are more sustainable ways to keep our homes warm like heat pumps or electric heat\, most of the policy and physical infrastructure in our state makes methane gas the norm.\n \nJoin us for a conversation about what it would take to get to clean heat by 2040\, from a formal state commitment to changing local ordinances around gas lines. This will need to be a long-term process in multiple arenas\, and we need your help! \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP

SUMMARY:How is Climate Change Affecting Our Investments?
DESCRIPTION:We know that climate disruption is having an effect on both our present and our future\, but many of the places where we and our state are investing money aren’t taking those realities into account. In fact\, 17 states across the county\, influenced by fossil fuel interests\, have passed laws barring their State Investment Boards from considering risks like climate change. Not only is this bad news for the environment\, but it’s bad news for those pension-holders. \nPlease join us for a webinar on the ways in which we explore the ways climate disruption is affecting investments\, and how those risks are passed on to consumers! \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP
