SUMMARY:Heat Pump Helpers: Process Over Product
DESCRIPTION:Join MNIPL’s Bret Pence and Rachel Wagner\, Creative and Technical Director of Just Housing\, as they share their experiences of assisting 5 homeowners in Northeastern Minnesota over the past year in determining whether their houses were good candidates for air source heat pumps.  Using a grant from CERTs\, MNIPL and Just Housing dove deep into examining the existing homes\, and used the results to undergo a process of examination with the homeowners.  Barriers to implementation were recognized and bridges around these obstacles were found\, with recommendations for future deliberations on this issue. The study builds upon findings and resources explored in the Northland Heat Pump Helpers webinar series from 2023. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!

Organizers with the Rise & Repair Alliance will be scheduling these meetings based on constituents in each district who RSVP at RiseAndRepair.org/rally.\n\nPeople Power ~ Rally in the Rotunda! (1:15-2pm)As scheduled visits are happen across the capitol complex\, we’ll assemble in the rotunda for a rally to amplify our message ~ Minnesota’s legislature must take bold action for climate justice and do so with the guidance\, wisdom\, and direction of Indigenous relatives who have always been\, and will forever be\, the caretakers of these lands.\n\nSCHEDULE & HOW TO PARTICIPATE\nFull Day Engagement:10:00 AM – Advocacy training\, prep session\, and morning coffee at Christ on Capitol Hill (105 University Ave W\, across from the Capitol)11:45a – 12:20p – Light lunch served before walking across the street to CapitolLegislative visits throughout the day pending legislator schedules (most 2-4pm)Joining us for the Rally:12:45 PM – Assemble on the Capitol steps1:15–2:00 PM – Rally in the Rotunda!!\nNow is the time to dig deep\, unite\, and push for the change we know is possible.
