Please join us to discuss this and other ideas too! Bring ideas of existing organizations and efforts that we can support.

We realize showing up can be a little intimidating but we promise either Kathy, or Sherry, or both of us will be there with a warm welcome. We’ll have a pinwheel so it’s easy to identify us, and whether you’re a talker or more of a listener, you can join the conversation in whatever way makes you comfortable. Some have brought a friend or a spouse the first time :). Come for 10 minutes or an hour or more. It’s just about making connections to others after a long, long time apart.
Bring your own chair and your favorite morning beverage.

We have to make sure that no one thinks the guilty verdict in the Chauvin trial means the work it done. It’s just beginning—again. Racism is a White problem. If Black and Brown people had the power to solve it, it would have been eliminated hundreds of years ago.
We want to bring white allies together in one space to talk about specific actions that we can take to address the wide-ranging issues that plague our BIPOC community members. We don’t have the answers, but we know if we bring together a bunch of people who are committed to change, we will be able to brainstorm and come up with specific things we can do. Time for action!
We will be outside at a park shelter. Due to Cov-id registration is required is limited to 50 people.

Connections! We need them! As more and more of us are vaccinated, we want to take advantage of the great parks in Roseville to make connections outdoors. We invite you to join us on Wednesday mornings for informal chats to get to know others in our community. Each week we will pick a different park to meet (Roseville has 30 of them!). Bring your own chair and your favorite morning beverage and talk to others in person! We will still respect Cov-Id restrictions and ask that you wear a mask.

This National Association of Mental Illness (NAMI) Minnesota-led workshop focuses on Black trauma due to experiences of racism, discrimination, and negative police interactions, and the effect these experiences have on the health and mental health of African Americans. Healing is addressed through focus on mental wellness for African Americans, and covers mental health, mental illness, the mental health system, and provides participants with information on mental health assessments, what they are, who can and cannot do an assessment, and other important information to address the most common barriers that prevent African Americans from help seeking.
This is a two-hour class that allows for open participant discussion.

Sacred Settlements are an innovative, research-based way to address long-term homelessness by developing holistic tiny home communities in cooperation with a faith community. Some of our local faith communities, including New Life Presbyterian and Prince of Peace Lutheran, have expressed interest in supporting tiny homes projects.
In a tiny home community, each resident has their own tiny home, and as a whole, the community shares facilities and amenities such as kitchen and dining spaces, bathrooms, laundry, gardens, workshops, and gathering areas. The land is managed by a religious or social organization to maintain standards for safety and welfare. Specially-trained missional-neighbors live in the settlement and work with all the members to ensure that the settlement is healthy and thriving. A team of advocate-befrienders wrap around each inhabitant coming off the streets to build trusted relationships, walk alongside them as they journey to meet their life goals, and connect them with valuable support services.
Settled (Settled.org) is unveiling the nation’s first model Sacred Settlement. A demonstration of five unoccupied tiny homes, a greenhouse, and a common gathering area are available for tour at Woodland Hills Church in Maplewood to bring awareness to a community-first approach to ending chronic homelessness. The one-hour tour begins with an exclusive screening of an 11-minute documentary of this movement, followed by a walking tour of the homes, and plans to bring about the first occupied Sacred Settlement. Health safeguards in place.

Due to the popularity of the Talking About Race discussion series, we continued to host a monthly Community Conversation on Race using topics suggested by attendees. Our first topic is Microaggressions. A microaggression is a subtle, often unintentional, form of prejudice. Rather than an overt declaration of racism or sexism, a microaggression often takes the shape of an offhanded comment, an inadvertently painful joke, or a pointed insult.

Our third Little Red Bin Collection was coats, hats, mittens, scarves and snowpants for Roseville Area Schools. Our little red bin just couldn’t keep up with the huge outpouring of donations!
