Support East Phillips and Little Earth in Their Fight to Defend the Depot

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

Support East Phillips and Little Earth in their fight to Defend the Depot!

In The South Minneapolis neighborhood of East Phillips, on Dakota territory, there is a building known as the “Roof Depot.” Community members, and especially those living at the Little Earth housing complex, want to turn it into a community center and indoor farm, with rooftop solar. The city of Minneapolis wants to demolish it, to build a highly polluting truck yard and diesel fueling station.

A court has issued a 2-week injunction (temporary restraining order) against the demolition, which was scheduled to begin on February 28th. Residents from Little Earth and East Phillips successfully testified at the Economic Development Finance and Policy Committee on March 2nd. This brings them one step closer to community-owned green infrastructure in a neighborhood that has long been heavily polluted and underfunded by the city. Residents are seeking $100 million in state funding to buy the Roof Depot site from the city, and make a meaningful investment in the neighborhood.

The bill moves to the Capital Investment committee next, where they will advocate for funding to be increased from $20 to $100 million. Then the bill needs to pass the House and Senate. There are many steps to take before we can secure this funding, so stay tuned for how to support and keep up the pressure, visit their website and follow them on Instagram @eastphillipsurbanfarm and @defendthedepot for updates!

Mapping Prejudice Seeks Volunteers to Map Restrictive Racial Covenants in Property Deeds

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

Mapping Prejudice identifies and maps racial covenants, clauses that were inserted into property deeds to keep people who were not White from buying or occupying homes. From their base in the University of Minnesota Libraries, they collaborate with community members to expose the history of structural racism and support the work of reparations.

Mapping Prejudice uses crowdsourcing to transcribe racial covenants in property deeds. After completing work in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, they are now helping Milwaukee and other cities create databases that track racial injustice. Join their community researchers who are learning together to document this hidden history.

Mapping Prejudice Seeks Volunteers to Map Restrictive Racial Covenants in Property Deeds

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

Mapping Prejudice identifies and maps racial covenants, clauses that were inserted into property deeds to keep people who were not White from buying or occupying homes. From their base in the University of Minnesota Libraries, they collaborate with community members to expose the history of structural racism and support the work of reparations. Mapping Prejudice uses crowdsourcing to transcribe racial covenants in property deeds. After completing work in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, they are now helping Milwaukee and other cities create databases that track racial injustice. Join their community researchers who are learning together to document this hidden history.

Support East Phillips and Little Earth in Their Fight to Defend the Depot

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

Support East Phillips and Little Earth in their fight to Defend the Depot!

In The South Minneapolis neighborhood of East Phillips, on Dakota territory, there is a building known as the “Roof Depot.” Community members, and especially those living at the Little Earth housing complex, want to turn it into a community center and indoor farm, with rooftop solar. The city of Minneapolis wants to demolish it, to build a highly polluting truck yard and diesel fueling station.

A court has issued a 2-week injunction (temporary restraining order) against the demolition, which was scheduled to begin on February 28th. Residents from Little Earth and East Phillips successfully testified at the Economic Development Finance and Policy Committee on March 2nd. This brings them one step closer to community-owned green infrastructure in a neighborhood that has long been heavily polluted and underfunded by the city. Residents are seeking $100 million in state funding to buy the Roof Depot site from the city, and make a meaningful investment in the neighborhood.

The bill moves to the Capital Investment committee next, where they will advocate for funding to be increased from $20 to $100 million. Then the bill needs to pass the House and Senate. There are many steps to take before we can secure this funding, so stay tuned for how to support and keep up the pressure, visit their website and follow them on Instagram @eastphillipsurbanfarm and @defendthedepot for updates!

Environmental Action Committee

submitted by millerk4@augsburg.edu

The ADSG Environmental Action Committee would like to let you all know of several areas of environmental action that are happening within the local twin cities and nationally.

Within Minneapolis, protesters have been advocating against the demolition of the Roof Depot in the East Phillips neighborhood for the last few weeks. As of February 24, a Hennepin County judge ruled that Minneapolis may not proceed with the planned demolition day (MPR: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/02/24/roof-depot-demolition-halted-for-now). Although there has been a temporary ruling (2 weeks) many Minneapolis public works and pollution advisors continue to push for the project. With this in mind if you are able EAC advocates for all students and Minneapolis community members to step up and unite to fight for what is best for the people of East Phillips and the Minneapolis environment.

https://www.defendthedepot.com/

Another major environmental update is at the federal level, The Willow Project. Although this is not something local to Minnesota your voice can be heard. The Willow Project is “… the single largest oil extraction project proposed on federal lands, estimated to add more than 250 million metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere over the next 30 years — equivalent to the emissions from 66 coal-fired power plants (roughly 1/3 of all U.S. coal plants) or from 56 million vehicles over an entire year.”

ProtectOurWinters:

https://protectourwinters.org/campaign/willow/

The Willow Project is a project that goes against promises to decrease oil drilling on federal land. This project was proposed previously but is being voted on in possible days so there is no time to waste on advocating. https://www.doi.gov/contact-us

Calling Public Speakers, Aspiring Voice Actors – Build Your Portfolio and Help Twin Cities

submitted by froehlic@augsburg.edu

The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to more than 1,200 Twin Cities students. We’re seeking remote volunteers for the 2023 Spring Semester!

We know that one of the reasons debate helps students improve their literacy is that students are engaging with all four foundational skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Because many of the students we work with are English language learners, one of the most powerful tools we have to help rookie debaters learn is auditory supplements to our written packets. With these recordings, students at all skill levels will be able to follow along with the text as they read, learn evidence while doing other tasks like doing chores or riding the bus, and rapidly improve their literacy and information retention.

How You Can Help

We are seeking volunteers to record our evidence packets at a conversational pace (120 words per minute). Help us record evidence for the following programs:

Support East Phillips and Little Earth in Their Fight to Defend the Depot

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

In The South Minneapolis neighborhood of East Phillips, on Dakota territory, there is a building known as the “Roof Depot.” Community members, and especially those living at the Little Earth housing complex, want to turn it into a community center and indoor farm, with rooftop solar. The city of Minneapolis wants to demolish it, to build a highly polluting truck yard and diesel fueling station.

A court has issued a 2-week injunction (temporary restraining order) against the demolition, which was scheduled to begin on February 28th. While the fight is far from over, this is a major win, which would not have been possible without all the incredible organizing and leadership shown by the East Phillips and Little Earth communities, in solidarity with communities far beyond. One of the conditions of the injunction is that EPNI (East Phillips Neighborhood Institute) must pay a $10,000 bond. You can donate here: http://tinyurl.com/depotfund

Support Girls and Gender Expansive Youth in Financial Literacy Leadership Debates

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 in late spring and share your story! Please sign up here for more information (dates TBA):

Calling Public Speakers, Aspiring Voice Actors – Build Your Portfolio and Help Twin Cities Students

submitted by froehlic@augsburg.edu

Message body *
The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to more than 1,200 Twin Cities students. We’re seeking remote volunteers for the 2023 Spring Semester!

We know that one of the reasons debate helps students improve their literacy is that students are engaging with all four foundational skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Because many of the students we work with are English language learners, one of the most powerful tools we have to help rookie debaters learn is auditory supplements to our written packets. With these recordings, students at all skill levels will be able to follow along with the text as they read, learn evidence while doing other tasks like doing chores or riding the bus, and rapidly improve their literacy and information retention.

How You Can Help

We are seeking volunteers to record our evidence packets at a conversational pace (120 words per minute). Help us record evidence for the following programs:

• East African Debate: Record nonfiction evidence about a topic central to the East African Debate community in the Twin Cities (TBD), written in English. Recordings needed by March 1st.
• Financial Literacy Leadership Debates: Record nonfiction evidence regarding the advantages and disadvantages of banking at a large national institution versus a small, local credit union. Recordings needed by April 1st.

Volunteers need to be able to speak slowly, clearly, and with energy. No special recording equipment is required, although we do ask that you record in a quiet space with minimal distractions. We can edit your audio for you.

Therefore, to be eligible, applicants must be first-generation (neither parent graduated from a four-year college or university) AND low-income AND/OR may be persons from groups underrepresented in graduate education.

Support East Phillips and Little Earth in Their Fight to Defend the Depot

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

In The South Minneapolis neighborhood of East Phillips, on Dakota territory, there is a building known as the “Roof Depot.” Community members, and especially those living at the Little Earth housing complex, want to turn it into a community center and indoor farm, with rooftop solar. The city of Minneapolis wants to demolish it, to build a highly polluting truck yard and diesel fueling station.

The Depot suppresses an arsenic plume deposited by a pesticide factory that operated next door from 1938-1963. If it gets demolished, residents would be at risk of toxic arsenic exposure. The city has no stated plan for remediating this arsenic or ensuring that it won’t poison community members.

Thank You for the Warm Weather Donations

submitted by clarkk@augsburg.edu

Thank you so much for your warm-weather donations to people experiencing houselessness in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood! We were able to share the donated items with the Afghan Cultural Society ahead of the storm. Nasreen Sajady, cofounder and advocacy director of the Afghan Cultural Society, and a two-time Auggie alum, shared with us how they are seeing an influx of guests looking to find shelter from the cold, secure warm weather gear and water, and use the bathroom since the closure of the local encampment. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and support. Auggie proud 🙂
