The campaign to shut down HERC is now entering a more public and critical phase. We invite you to join next Tuesday August 15 at 1:00pm at the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners meeting in downtown Minneapolis.

Please RSVP so we can send updates about the event, county meeting rules, and our demands: https://actionnetwork.org/events/rally-to-shut-down-herc-trash-burner/

This is an important action– the most important for people to join so far in this campaign. A wide range of people will speak directly to the commissioners, including: doctors, union leaders, scientists, teachers, waste workers and experts, and impacted community members. We need to back them. If we create enough pressure now, we can compel the county commissioners to set in motion HERC’s closure. County staff are already preparing a closure plan because of our work this last legislative session. Now we need these elected commissioners to ensure there’s a date attached to that plan.

Read more here: https://sahanjournal.com/climate-environment/herc-closing-plan-hennepin-county-bonding-bill/

Please bring your people!

Location: Government Center A2400, Board of Commissioners chamber, 300 South Sixth Street Minneapolis, MN 55487. To get to Room A2400, go up the escalator, then go through security for elevator A (not C) to the 24th floor.

Transportation: light rail (Blue & Green lines to Government Plaza); street parking; or *let us know if you need a ride on RSVP form*

Arrival Time: Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before 1pm to make time for getting through the body scanner.

In solidarity,

The annual Health Fair is from 11:30am to 4:00pm. We still need 4-5 volunteers for the later shift, from 12:30 to 5:00pm. Tasks will involve breaking down tables & chairs at the close of the event, direct vendors and community participants, distribute backpacks, and other tasks as needed. There will be PIZZA!

Pillsbury United Communities is the parent organization for the Brian Coyle Community Center located at 420 15th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55454, there are both Blue and Green Line train stops in the neighborhood and multiple buses that run on Cedar and Riverside Avenues. Parking should be easy to find in the morning and a little more challenging in the afternoon. If you’re concerned we can help!

This is a great way to spend some time with the awesome communities in Cedar-Riverside–and to use your community service hours! If you have any questions or concerns please email Jenean Gilmer at gilmerje@gmail.com. Thanks big time, this is sure to be a fun event!

Sophia has been with Augsburg since 2020 and has made countless behind-the-scenes improvements to our payroll processes and benefits administration. Through her role as Payroll and Benefits Manager Sophia has interacted with nearly every employee on campus to provide support on accessing benefits, leaves of absence, and payroll questions with compassion and wisdom. She has provided leadership on audits and compliance requirements with outstanding diligence and attention to detail. Sophia has been a valued collaborator on the Human Resources team – she is smart, dependable, approachable, and a true professional. We wish Sophia well in her future endeavors, – she will certainly be missed!

Climate Grief to Joy Healing Circle on Thursday July 13th from 5-8pm in the Augsburg Community Garden.

Rooted in Indigenous thought, and held as small group workshops, Healing Circles provide a vessel for participants to name, hold, and release intense emotions around climate change, while also contextualizing how we ended up here. Unprocessed grief can limit access to the present moment. We are often either stuck in the past or jumping ahead to the future.

Through cycles of music and poetry, participants engage in an outdoor, moving journey that engages the senses and prompts a path to our individual and collective healing, unlocking the potential to shift the stories we tell and reimagine the future we are building. All are welcome, registration for this event is required, as space is limited.

Click on the link below to register and for more information on the event. This Healing Circle is sponsored by Environmental Sustainability at Augsburg and is supported by Oyate Hotanin in collaboration with musical duo Buffalo Weavers and Change Narrative, a climate programming producer —in a year-long climate action-driven project, Society of Mother Earth (S.O.M.E.).

This summer Augsburg will again host the annual Vocation of Lutheran High Education Conference. Each year, members of Lutheran colleges and universities gather to explore the distinctive roles we play in higher education. The theme of the 2023 conference “So that we (faculty, staff, and administrators), too, may flourish” takes its name from Rooted and Open, where NECU institutions commit to serving students who are “called and empowered to serve the neighbor so that all may flourish.” In a time of staff and faculty burnout, resignations, and uneven degrees of belonging, we will consider how we educators, too, may flourish in mind, body and spirit.

Highlights include a keynote address by Jonathan Malesic, author of The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives; plenary sessions led by Deanna Thompson, Rev. Lamont Wells (NECU Executive Director), Krista Hughes, Monica Smith, Marc Jerry, and Jeremy Myers; small group conversations and workshops on the flourishing of faculty, administrators and staff; and guided VOCARE spiritual practices, led by Rev. Dr. Charlene Rachuy Cox.
The conference begins at 5:00 pm on Monday, July 10 and ends at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, July 12.

You may view the preliminary agenda and register for the conference at https://www.augsburg.edu/campusministry/2023/03/30/2023-vocation-of-lutheran-higher-education-conference-registration/

The registration fee is waived for Augsburg participants and meals (lunch and dinner) are provided to Augsburg participants free of charge. The deadline for registration is Friday, June 23. If you have questions about registration, please contact Janice Dames (x1732 or dames@augsburg.edu). If you would like more information about the conference, please contact Jeremy Myers (x1202 or myers@augsburg.edu).

Community Connections Conference

submitted by froehlic@augsburg.edu

Are you a woman or gender expansive person employed or studying in the field of finance?

The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, serves middle and high school students in the Twin Cities. We are looking for leaders to join us as volunteer debate judges for our Financial Literacy Leadership Debates program.

In this program, girls and gender expansive youth learn about core financial literacy subjects through the fun, engaging, and competitive vehicle of debate. The topic this year involves the advantages and disadvantages of banking at a large national bank versus a local credit union.

No debate experience is needed – we will train you. Attend our luncheon at Augsburg University, judge debates, and share your story!

The debate event will take place on June 3rd from 9:30 AM-2:30 PM.

Title: Find Calm in Chaos: Radical Self-Care in Uncertain Times

Date: Tues., May 9th

Time: 1:30-3:00

Location: virtual

For a variety of reasons, employees across the globe are feeling deep levels of burnout and languishing that, for many, has led to “quiet quitting” or literal quitting. We know that these challenges are often experienced even more acutely by BIPOC and non-majority employees, who exist within systems of oppression and who are often called on to do the work of dismantling those systems in more emotionally laborious ways. Given the increasing complexity of our work, as well as the emotional toll of the last handful of years, many Augsburg employees have expressed desire for opportunity for connection, engagement, and time to prioritize professional and personal care. This session, provided with the support of President Pribbenow and the Health and Well-Being Task Force, offers space for employees to take time out of the demand for productivity to intentionally focus on the health and well-being of ourselves as individuals within the Augsburg community.

From Dr. Lewis:

This session is a gift of time and space to take a deep breath together in community. We explore practices of Radical Self-Care and being “awake” that help create space for wellness, and thereby interrupt the effects of toxic stress and trauma, especially related to the world pandemic and racial injustice. By the end, participants connect with themselves and others more deeply and practice healthy expressions of grief, pain, and joy. Strengthening our foundations around radical self-care can help us all show up for ourselves, our loved ones and our community.
