[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

I joined Minnesota leaders at @usfws Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge for a roundtable on expanding outdoor access for all. Urban refuges like Minnesota Valley provide access to nature and outdoor recreation while also boosting local economies.

On Friday Oct 29th, folks in Saint Paul marched to @GovTimWalz mansion to express the importance of divesting from banks like Wells Fargo and Chase, because they continue to fund destructive fossil fuel expansion projects such as Line 3 and Line 5. #StopLine3 We are STILL HERE

The work @IndigenousRoot2 does has taken on a new significance against the backdrop of George Floyd’s murder and a renewed dialogue on race in the United States. But Quiroz emphasizes the fact that change is not only possible, but inevitable.

[McKnight Foundation @McKnightFdn]

This quarter, we highlight over $6.3 million in grants to support grantees in our Arts & Culture program, such as Indigenous Roots, that are catalyzing the creativity, power, and leadership of artists and culture bearers. https://t.co/v6rgBvZmuM @IndigenousRoot2

[Imagine Deliver @ImagineDeliver]

@JXTA_ARTS @IndigenousRoot2 We transform community engagement insights into actionable solutions by assembling a Community Design Team of BIPOC community experts that are artists or industry futurists.

[Imagine Deliver @ImagineDeliver]

@JXTA_ARTS @IndigenousRoot2 And our community engagement process doesn't end once we've gathered insights.

[Imagine Deliver @ImagineDeliver]

Instead of hiring solo contractors as "organizers" for community engagement efforts, partner with art-based organizations who already have deep roots in the communities we hope to engage with.
