SUMMARY:Healing Democracy 2026 Kick-Off
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Our 2026 Healing Democracy Kick-Off\, a statewide initiative of the Movement Chaplain Network in partnership with MNIPL. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP! \nWith the 2026 election coming up\, we are partnering together to find ways to support our communities in feeling grounded\, safe\, and supported in the time before\, during\, and after this upcoming election. We will be offering training and support for three different ways to get involved\, all of which are available to everyone\, clergy or not: \nPoll Chaplaincy: For five years\, trained Poll Chaplains have brought calm\, nonpartisan care to election spaces in Minnesota. Poll Chaplains accompany people in and around the voting experience. They offer a calm\, compassionate presence\, help lower tension\, connect people with trusted resources when needed\, and make space for the hope\, pride\, and joy that are also part of participating in democracy. \nDigital Democracy: Digital Chaplains bring grounded\, caring presence into the online spaces and relationships they already inhabit. They listen\, offer support\, share trustworthy resources\, and help people navigate fear\, uncertainty\, and difficult moments with care. You don’t need to be clergy\, a tech expert\, or an influencer. Anyone\, anywhere can participate. \nCare Communities: Help your community of faith\, conscience\, religious or spiritual practice become a place of care. Community Care Teams equip congregations and other communities to care for their people and neighbors before\, during\, and after the election. Together\, communities identify the relationships\, spaces\, spiritual practices\, and gifts they already have and build a plan for offering grounded\, compassionate care when it is needed most. \nJoin us to learn more about these different tactics and how you can help. There’s a role for everyone. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!

SUMMARY:CCRN September Gathering: Healing Democracy Through Community Care Teams Part 1
DESCRIPTION:The Community Climate Resilience Network (CCRN) supports communities of faith\, conscience\, or spiritual practice to become centers of resilience for their neighbors in the face of climate disruption. \nThis fall communities are looking forward\, with some anticipation\, to a free and fair election. Our dream is that everyone is able to engage in the democratic process with confidence and clarity. As people process the mixture of emotions (fear\, hope\, uncertainty) we want to do that surrounded by love and community. \nDuring our hour together the CCRN team will host community members who have participated in our resilience hub community of practice for a fishbowl conversation about how communities of faith\, conscience\, and spiritual or religious practice are uniquely poised to meet this moment. We will then break-out into facilitated rooms where we will discuss the process of engaging a “care team” in making the preparations for supporting community and holding space this fall. \nRSVP for our September Session! \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!

SUMMARY:Southwest Minneapolis Insurance Fairness Forum
DESCRIPTION:As insurance companies claim that the climate crisis is eating into their billions of dollars in profits\, they are finding discriminatory ways to extract more money from people with lower incomes\, young people\, and people of color. \nInsurance companies are consistently using credit scores to determine rates rather than risk\, charging people with worse credit – people who are disproportionately low-income\, people of color\, young people\, or people who live in multiunit housing – significantly higher rates. \nInsurance companies are subsidizing the rates of high-income customers on the backs of people who can least afford it. \nJoin us for this conversation with legislators to talk about the impacts of these policies on Minnesotans and what we can do legislatively to end this predatory practice. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!

SUMMARY:Geothermal Energy for Congregations
DESCRIPTION:Join building leaders from dozens of communities of faith\, conscience\, or spiritual practice across the greater Twin Cities Metro to learn about geothermal systems and how viable they are for decarbonizing your congregation’s building demands and lowering your heating and cooling costs. Experts Robert Ed and Paolo Spiern will present on key topics\, and Art Halbardier will give a tour of the geothermal system that Mount Olive installed ten years ago. Whether you are new to geothermal or have been around the block a few times\, you’ll find this session useful for your next step as someone who cares about your community’s buildings and climate justice.\n\nThis is the third gathering of the Congregation Energy Collaboration\, a growing group of building leaders and volunteers aiming to lower energy use and carbon emissions and realize financial savings\, a healthier planet\, and a more just society. MNIPL is facilitating this group in direct response to MNIPL congregations who recommended this approach. Attendees to our first gathering identified geothermal as the number one topic they are interested in learning more about.\n\nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!
