Jan. 11 Dan
McGrath, Executive Director of TakeAction Minnesota .
. .
. .
. says the defining feature of TakeAction is Òan
active membership which unites organizations and people around strategies that
win concrete victories.Ó
TakeAction
is a young and growing statewide organization that traces its roots back to
Paul Wellstone – and to two groups that joined forces in 2006:
Progressive MN and MAPA (Minnesota Alliance for Progressive Action). Instead of building an organization
around a candidate, organizers engaged people around Òa vision of something
new.Ó In the last three years
membership has grown to 10,000 members and 23 organizations working together.
We
will be enlightened by DanÕs session with us, as we learn more about TakeAction and how we all are part of its work.
Jan. 25 Pastor Jane
Buckley-Farlee of Trinity Lutheran
Pastor
Jane will talk about TrinityÕs ELCA Interfaith Ministry Grant and the work the
Congregation does in their neighborhood community, and she will share the
insights theyÕve gained from this work.
And in coming months, weÕre also planning
connected programs on Clean Energy; Native Americans and the environment,
including discussion of the effects of mining tar sands; Native Americans and
other pressing issues they continue to face; and issues around the worldwide
trafficking of women, including Native American women. Details to follow.
PARKING: Pastor Jane of Trinity Lutheran has graciously agreed
that we may continue to use the spaces in their parking lot
signed for St. MartinÕs Table (until they have a new tenant). However, please
be careful to observe all the signs in the lot and to
be certain to leave available three spaces in the center reserved for
Trinity Staff.
