SUMMARY:MNIPL Winter Book Club: About Power
DESCRIPTION:This winter\, MNIPL is launching a Winter Book Club to read inspiring works speaking to this moment in our collective climate crisis. If you’ve been wondering how to access hope for your continued work on climate action\, these books are for you! Please join us! \nEvery month January – March\, we’ll read a recent book to learn about innovative approaches to addressing climate change and to discuss how these ideas could work in our local context. \nA primary reason we have accelerating Climate Chaos and profound societal inequity is that society delivers electric utility services upside down and backwards. On the demand-side\, electric utilities are healthier financially when they emit more pollution\, and conservation reduces their earnings. On the supply side\, big\, very expensive power lines are being built to accommodate renewable energy development.  \nWhile acknowledging a host of existential threats\, About Power by George Crocker makes the case that society’s major problems can be reduced\, if not solved\, with proper management of energy resources. \nIn this session\, we will explore the ideas regarding how to  of “end-use” analysis to estimate our energy needs (to put it another way\, how much power would we need if we were using energy efficient things in our life). \nWe will discuss pages 113 – 184\, including Crocker’s recommendations for moving forward.  \n\nWrite On Radio (KFAI) discussion with George Crocker (50 minutes)\n\nPurchase from Bookshop.org  or your favorite book purveyor.  \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!!

SUMMARY:Reparations Learning Lab April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Today\, the trauma and destruction of the Doctrine of Discovery surrounds us. We’ve felt it in Operation Metro Surge. We heard it in the Legislature’s opposition to protection for wild rice. And it is the heart of Representative Stauber’s effort to mine the Boundary Waters. \nIn this learning lab\, Jim Bear Jacobs and Jessica Intermill will continue our exploration of the role of the Doctrine of Discovery in our lives today. \nWe’ll move away from lecture-style learning toward deep conversation\, and we’ll answer your questions about how the Doctrine shows up in today’s world and intersects with reparatory work. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!
