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

SUMMARY:Beacon Now: What’s Next in St. Paul?
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re brand new to Beacon or have been a supporter for years\, we invite you to attend a virtual “Beacon Now” session. In this session\, we’ll touch on the basics of Beacon’s work\, go in depth on one aspect of that work\, and discuss how we can make a difference for our neighbors now. Encampments of neighbors without a home are again growing. Racial disparities in housing continue to harm communities of color. This session will cover work we’ve done in St. Paul to provide home and support for adults who have experienced homelessness including those who lived in the 2018 encampment at the Wall of Forgotten Natives. You’ll also hear what’s next for homes to support neighbors in the Saintly City. \n

SUMMARY:What’s the Deal?: Housing Crisis and State Response
DESCRIPTION:Clara Lind\, our Donor Experience Manager\, will be hosting this event with information from Ben Helvick-Anderson\, Director of Public Policy\, and Craig Freeman\, Community Connection Manager. Craig will give an overview of Beacon’s organizational structure and our policy initiatives\, and Ben will provide a perspective on what the current Minnesota legislature has (or hasn’t) accomplished on behalf of our neighbors who experience housing instability on a daily basis. \nWe will also be able to give you a rundown of our future political goals and how Beacon’s policy work all leads towards our vision of a world in which all people have a home. \nTO REGISTER: Please email Clara Lind at clind@beaconinterfaith.org with your name and if you are a member of a congregation. Once you’re registered\, Clara will provide you with login directions for the event.
