Last year, MNIPL and our network saw huge wins on a state, national, and international level! There are unprecedented amounts of funding promised to low-income and Black communities, Indigenous communities, and communities of color to repair the harms of climate disruption and move towards sustainability.
But we also know that the how is just as important as the what — and we need your help to make sure those dollars go where they're needed and not into the pockets of corporations.
We need resources to meet the scale of the challenge and possibility in front of us. We ask that you give more generously, more ambitiously, and more meaningfully than ever.
Every contribution matters. Every difference we make comes from all of us.
Thank you for your financial gift! We are grateful that you are a part of our work. We are grateful for all that you do to care for our world!
Helping Our Community Go Solar!
Because of MNIPL's guidance and efforts, as of Fall 2023
The same systems that separate us from caring for the earth also work to separate us from caring for one another.
The United States was built on land stolen from Native people by the stolen labor of enslaved Black people. The same way of thinking and being has created a world dependent on fossil fuels at the expense of our care for each other and the earth.
We can’t work towards a thriving, just, and sustainable world without also committing to repairing the wounds of land theft and enslavement. With this in mind MNIPL hosted four "Reparations Learning Tables" conversations to start educating our community on what reparations can be, why they are important in the here and now, and how individuals can get involved.
Reparations Learning Table Series
We had an amazing opportunity this legislative year to effect meaningful change with a bold climate and equity platform. We are happy to say that the Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority (MNCIFA) was created and fully funded with $45 million!
MNIPL led the campaign to establish a state fund that helps communities, families and businesses access money for renewable energy and green projects. A powerful follow-up to the 100% bill, this ensures all Minnesotans have the opportunity to benefit from clean energy.
Now, we need to make sure those funds go where they're supposed to: into the communities most impacted by this climate disruption.
Rise and Repair Coalition and Rally
Another session highlight was leading the Rise and Repair coalition of 28 organizations that brough over 250 people to the Rise and Repair Rally and lobby day at the State Capitol on February 15th. The event and coalition uplifted the Indigenous Rights and Climate Justice legislative platform, including Indigenous, youth and faith speakers.
