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

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: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:MNCIFA Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:We’ve had a lot to celebrate this legislative session\, and here’s another reason to keep dancing — the Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority was created and fully funded with $45 million! \nMNCIFA is a state funding authority that will help communities\, families\, and businesses access money for renewable energy and other green projects. This innovative “green bank” was designed with equity and climate justice at its core. No one should be left behind in the transition to our greener future! MNCIFA will ensure everyone has access to the technical assistance and upfront funding needed to center equity and scale up our energy transition for climate justice. \nCome celebrate with us!\nJoin us on Monday\, June 26\, to thank the MNCIFA bill authors\, Representative Emma Greenman and Senator Tou Xiong\, other legislative champions\, and the coalition of organizational partners and people who came together to make MNCIFA happen! \nWhether you can be with us in person or in spirit\, we want to express our deep gratitude for your tireless work and companionship on this journey. Let us mark this moment for all that is to follow. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nEvent Details\nThe event will be held at the historic Coliseum Building and Hall at 2708 E Lake St. in Minneapolis. Located in the heart of the George Floyd uprisings\, this building is under renovation which will include adding solar to serve the community. \nBecause this is a construction site\, covered footwear is recommended. We will be gathering under a tent on a gravel parking area. \nStreet and lot parking is available nearby. \n\nThis event is hosted by Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light and CURE\, with support from Intermill Land History Consulting and the co-sponsors below: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional support provided by the organizational partners associated with the Rise and Repair agenda and MNCIFA legislative effort.
