SUMMARY:Be the Spark Training
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Be the Spark! \nParticipants can expect an opportunity to learn\, reflect\, connect\, and build  community and movement organizing skills. .You will leave with a practical toolkit for public advocacy\, with a blueprint for inviting people to take concrete action on the issues that matter to you\, and with a framework and narrative for movement building towards justice and liberation. \nThe work of building a more just and sustainable world is collective work – no one person or organization can change the world alone. We are part of a movement of people who care passionately about this world and the people who live in it. Our ability to influence change at the Capitol\, help our neighbors transition into more sustainable energy\, and repair the harms of centuries of greed and extraction is dependent on people like you and your willingness to organize your friends\, neighbors\, and communities to live differently in this world. \nBe the Spark offers training and conversation that will help you grow your capacity to organize\, build your skills through connection with other passionate people\, and help you inspire others into climate justice work. In each session\, you’ll get tools and practices that will help you inspire your people\, focus your purpose\, and identify tangible actions for successes you can celebrate. \n\nFacilitated by Julia Nerbonne (MNIPL Executive Director) and Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos (Director\, Youth N Power)\nLunch\, coffee\, and snacks provided\nThe focus of this training will be intergenerational with robust youth participation\n\nInterested in attending? Please consider making a gift to support this free event! Click here to make a donation.  \nWe know that this training is being offered on Saturday\, and so it may not be accessible to people observing shabbat. Accordingly\, we are also offering a Sunday training date. Click here to learn more about our Sunday date. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Vote for Climate: Using Relational Organizing to Get Out the Vote with Sen. Omar Fateh
DESCRIPTION:Elections are critical to making sure that our state and country are committed to repairing the harms of climate change and to building towards a green and interdependent future. In this important time\, we need people like you and people you know – people who care about this world and everything that lives here – to vote in November. \nThe most effective way to get folks to the polls is when someone they know and trust shares why this election is important and helps them make a plan. That’s why MNIPL is holding a series of events in October to help people like you get their friends and neighbors to vote in November! \nJoin Sen. Omar Fateh and MNIPL for a conversation about relational organizing\, a tool that helps us reach out to people in our communities to get them to vote for people who care about the things we care about: policies that support a green future and authentic repair for the harms of climate change. \nThis session will offer concrete tools for you to make a plan to vote\, tell your story about your commitment to addressing climate change\, and help your loved ones get to the polls. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!
