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!

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:Why Are Our Electric Utilities Structured Like This?
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how the electric utility industry works? Or why its financing\, business practices\, technologies\, resources\, and regulatory structures look the way they do in various places around the country? The history of utilities in the United States is filled with controversy and compromise. Understanding that history can reveal what’s possible for political action today at the local\, state\, or federal level. \nJoin MNIPL and Ben Kodres-O’Brien\, who will share his insights about the industry’s history—and how that history could or could not inform efforts of policymakers\, activists\, and other changemakers in Minnesota and beyond. \nBen is a PhD Candidate at Columbia University. His dissertation examines the history and political economy of the electric utility industry\, and how past policies have affected and been limited by the diverse mix of technologies and generating resources in use within the United States. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!

SUMMARY:The More They Build\, The More They Make: How Utilities Plan for Profit
DESCRIPTION:Utility companies make money when they build energy infrastructure. The cost of that infrastructure is passed on to customers through rate hikes – like the 13% rate increase Xcel is proposing right now.  How can we tell if what utilities propose are the things that best serve our pocketbooks and communities?  \nJoin us for a webinar to learn more about the way utilities are incentivized to build infrastructure and how that affects our rates. We will also be joined by Brian Edstrom\, Senior Regulatory Advocate for the Citizens Utility Board\, to discuss the current Xcel Rate Case that is open for public comment through the end of the year.  \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP!

SUMMARY:Quarterly Community Offering - Summer 2025
DESCRIPTION:Through the year and beyond\, we’ll be hosting Quarterly Movement Offerings\, which will be an opportunity to share what we’re working on and hear from you what you’re paying most attention to. Each session will have information about the state of climate justice work here and abroad\, an opportunity to reconnect us to the importance of building a more equitable and interdependent world\, and tangible action steps our communities can take to move us forward. \nNow\, more than ever\, we need you to show up for what we know to be true: that radical kindness can create meaningful change\, that decarbonizing our world’s energy is not a partisan issue\, and that the moment for building our local and global capacity to prepare for climate disruption is upon us. \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP FOR THE SUMMER QUARTERLY COMMUNITY OFFERING
