2nd Annual Poverty Teach In

Founded in 2002, UMN is committed to fully engaging and training communities of color to be active participants rebuilding their communities.  We use active participants as opposed to outsiders telling folks what to do – it is called civic engagement these days.UMN’s efforts are designed to strengthen democracy and to rebuild communities of color which continue to be pummeled by the pernicious effects of racism and resulting lack of economic, social and educational opportunity. We are on the receiving end of legislation, public policies and discriminating practices.We are organizers, creating power in our communities.
