SUMMARY:Hennepin Summit
DESCRIPTION:We’d like to gather leaders in Minneapolis and Suburban Hennepin County to get everyone up to date on what’s coming up in our region! \nYou have all been showing up in amazing ways this year and it is having an impact. We are now poised to do some pretty powerful work this spring: ambitious plans to meet with City Council members\, a few more of our urban legislators\, Met Council members and County Commissioners. All toward the goal of creating more homes for families with the lowest incomes and keeping people in the homes they have. If we have learned anything this year it’s how essential our voices are in keeping a focus on this. \nSo this summit of awesome Hennepin leaders will give you and your teams a chance to see what you are working on in the big picture and make educated choices about where your congregation can make the biggest difference by showing up. We hope someone will attend from each congregation in Hennepin County.

SUMMARY:Scott and Carver Regional Assembly: The future of FMF\, Prairie Pointe\, and the housing crisis
DESCRIPTION:Scott and Carver Regional Assembly: The future of FMF\, Prairie Pointe\, and the housing crisis \nJoin almost a dozen congregations from the Southwest collaborative for a virtual meeting as we provide updates and action steps for the future of Families Moving Forward in Scott and Carver Counties\, Prairie Pointe\, and addressing the wave of evictions facing over 250\,000 of our neighbors across Minnesota. We are leading a campaign to change the story around housing and homeless in our communities and organizing for the solutions we need to match the crisis through the “Closer to Home Campaign” \nWe believe that God has given us what we need to thrive\, that we live in a world of abundance\, and that we don’t need to cut one human need for the other. We believe that no matter who you are\, where you live\, who you pray to\, or what you look like\, everyone should have a place to call home at the end of the day. \nJoin us on Thursday\, August 20 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. as we come together to ensure that everyone who calls our communities home has the ability to access and afford one of their own. \n

SUMMARY:Evicted: Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:3 Tuesdays: July 7\, 13\, and 21 at 4 p.m. \nAs racial injustice consumes our local and global attention\, Beacon leaders in St. Paul will take read and discuss the Pulitzer Prize winning book Evicted\, by Matthew Desmond. Desmond uses narrative nonfiction and a close lens on another Midwestern city with extreme racial inequality\, Milwaukee\, to explore the historical and present\, systemic and intimate realities of our housing catastrophe. Participants are urged (though not required) to attend all three sessions. We’ll also incorporate supplemental materials\, and take an intentionally race equity-focused lens with the understanding that many folks are familiar with the book but may not have had the chance to discuss it with a group in this way. \n
