Nancy Meeker, Executive Director of A Minnesota Without Poverty will be the guest speaker for the May 18th District 46 meet-up.
A Minnesota Without Poverty is a statewide movement to end poverty in Minnesota by 2020. This movement began in 2001 and evolved into an ecumenical and interfaith initiative to end poverty. A Minnesota Without Poverty seeks to engage all sectors of society – faith communities, government, business, people experiencing poverty, education, communities of color, non-profits, and foundations. Everyone can play a role in ending poverty in our state and beyond, as it affects us all, no matter what walk of life we come from or what our economic situation may be.
In the past couple of years, A Minnesota Without Poverty staff and volunteers worked tirelessly in support of the Minnesota minimum wage ($9.50 per hour) legislation that was signed into law just this past April. Come and hear what important work they continue to do and hope to do in the future!
Come early at 6 pm for social time with others before the speaker starts at 6:30 pm. All our welcome to attend this informational gathering.
