SUMMARY:Monarca Democracy Defense Training
DESCRIPTION:Neighborhood-based training located in Seward\, Minneapolis\n\nThe exact location will be shared in the confirmation email after you register through Monarca’s website:\n  \n“We have lived through the largest federal immigration operation in US history. We have been tried\, tested\, and we have shown the world that we\, the people\, still have the power we need to defend and expand our American democracy. \nOur elections on November 3rd are an essential part of that defense. Election integrity is under unprecedented attack. People in the highest levels of government have called to nationalize elections\, tried to seize voter rolls from our state officials\, and threatened federal agents at polling places. \nJoin Monarca and your neighbors for our new Democracy Defense training. Together\, we will build a broad network to defend our democracy\, using every lever we can to ensure we have safe\, free\, and fair elections\, and that our votes are counted. \nIn this training\, you will learn more about: \n\nThe threats we are facing\nThe actions we can take\, now\, up to the election\, and beyond\nHow to organize locally to build democracy defense networks\, building on what we already have\nNext steps to stay engaged with the work\n\nThe training focuses on local organizing\, including an intentional planning period to work alongside your neighbors. If you are coming from outside the area\, we are excited to see you\, and we think you’ll get the most from the event if you can attend with 2-3 people from your neighborhood\, as well as connect with us afterwards to plan a training for your area.” \n  \nThis event is hosted by Monarca. Seward Neighborhood Group is sharing this on our website for communication purposes only. Please contact Monarca for all questions at trainings@monarcamn.org.

SUMMARY:Public Artwork Unveiling at Wadaag Commons
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special community celebration and dedication of the public artwork at Wadaag Commons. \nFeaturing more than $500\,000 in permanent artwork\, this represents one of the largest investments in culturally grounded public art in the Seward neighborhood. The building also features what may be Minneapolis’ most visible Islamic-inspired public art. \nThe artwork was created by Twin Cities artists and reflects East African and Islamic artistic traditions through a community-centered vision grounded in the belief that “Home is Sacred.” In the face of increased anti-immigrant rhetoric and immigration enforcement in Minnesota\, this project represents a permanent and highly-visible public affirmation of belonging\, dignity\, and cultural pride. Together\, these pieces help tell a story about who belongs here and what it means to feel at home. \nThe program will include remarks from project partners\, recognition of participating artists and contributors\, opportunities to experience the completed artwork\, and time to connect with community members and guests. Light refreshments will be provided. \nRSVP \nWe look forward to celebrating with you!
