SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 11/1/21
DESCRIPTION:Our vision is that all people have a home. The pandemic and economic crisis have been building into an eviction crisis\, which could add to the already too large number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. We cannot let this happen\, and home is the solution. \nWe need Bring It Home\, MN\, a rent subsidy program that will allow all low-income Minnesotans the security and reassurance of home. \nOn Monday\, November 1\, join us on Zoom at 8:30 a.m. for a thirty-minute update meeting\, where we will learn more about the growing crisis\, and reflect on how to take action together. This meeting will have Closed Captions available. \nPlease register below to let us know you will participate and to receive further instructions on how to access the meeting. \n

SUMMARY:Clergy and Staff Gathering
DESCRIPTION:A quarterly virtual gathering space for clergy and staff of congregations to build relationships and skills for the work we share as a collaborative. In October\, join us for a preview of our policy work for 2021-22 and a conversation about where clergy involvement is most impactful in these campaigns. The common theme is calling for an increased commitment and investment in housing for people with the lowest incomes – below 30% of the Area Median Income. How will preachers\, theologians\, and religious leaders bring this moral issue to the forefront in our public life? \nThis Zoom meeting will have Closed Captioning available.
