Description

#KeepIt100MN

In this election year, political involvement and civic engagement are at the forefront of the news and community conversations. Although we may not all agree on politics we think it’s safe to say that this election year has been charged.

These topics are national, local, and deeply personal, requiring attention from each of us individually and all of us collectively. "Keeping It 100" is an interactive event designed to explore how we can each get involved in our neighborhoods and communities to work toward positive change.

Join Minnesota Public Radio's Generation Listen and Minnesota Rising for light appetizers and an evening of inspiring storytelling from emerging leaders with diverse paths and approaches for community engagement, connecting with organizations and resources to get involved locally, and discussion about what we each can do to make a difference in today's political climate.
