Minnesota Green Jobs National Day of Action

by Dan Thiede • Metro CERTS • On Saturday, September 27th a fired-up crowd gathered at the Minneapolis Urban League to help create a new clean, green, inclusive economy.

Karen Monahan, a staff member at Environmental Justice Advocates of Minnesota (EJAM), shares her thoughts after the event: “Wow, Minnesota is ready for green jobs! We had over one hundred folks from all around the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs come together and show solidarity for the Green Jobs National day of Action…

“Over 75 folks designed their own mini version of a green jobs bill. We have expressed to our elected officials the need for some sort of bill that is co-authored with the community and we are hoping this information is the beginning of that process…

“The community who gathered at this event was extremely diverse. We had folks from the Native American, African American, Asian, Iranian, Caucasian and Latino community. We had small children, college students, mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers. We had folks from economically better off suburbs, to the heart of the inner cities. This is what I call inclusive!...”

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
