CURE

With your support this year, CURE made significant progress in the fight for healthy rural communities and landscapes. CURE united allies to protect our communities from covert data center deals, spoke truth about the impacts of federal funding cuts on rural Minnesotans, and made significant pushes for clean air, water, and energy.  

But there’s a lot more to do, and we need you by our side; Minnesotans are strongest when we stand together. 

Give today to defend land, water, and the dignity of our neighbors. 

Last year, your support helped us... 

• Put People Over Power: CURE opposed the sale of Minnesota Power to private equity firms, GIP and BlackRock, highlighting risks to ratepayers and advocating for energy democracy and public utilities.
• Defend the 100% Carbon Free Energy Law: CURE is actively defending Minnesota's carbon-free electric energy law against attempts by utility and industry groups to create loopholes for polluting energy sources.
• Defend the Water & Land: In coalition with organizations across Minnesota, CURE pressed for regulatory action and accountability to protect Minnesota waters from agricultural drainage, coal ash pollution& CO2 pipelines.
• Expose Data Centers: CURE is pushing for strong environmental protections and transparency in data center development, advocating for sustainable energy solutions and careful oversight.
• Protect Our Neighbors: CURE has been organizing with a coalition opposing the reopening of the Prairie Correctional Facility as an ICE detention center, advocating instead for real community investments in health and childcare.
