June 2025 Newsletter

Your Monthly N4MN Update   🏳️‍🌈 June 2025 🏳️‍🌈 Member Social - Wednesday, June 18th N4MN's work focuses on big picture policy that - when passed - take years or decades to become reality. Come hear from a N4MN founder and volunteer what it's like to live in a city, Zurich, where many of the reforms we advocate for are standard. 💭 Have these accomplishments automatically made Zurich a housing-supply paradise -- or are there other factors at play complicating the story? What crucial lessons can Minnesota learn from Zurich’s housing journey? 💭 Join N4MN and Bike MN for a short discussion, complimentary chips, salsa, & guacamole, and time to connect with each other, while also helping N4MN raise $1,000 to continue advocating for these important changes. 📅 June 18 from 6pm to 8pm 🗺️ 241 Fremont Ave N 😋 Chips, Salsa, and Guac provided RSVP for Single Stair Stories + Fundraiser 🎉 You're Invited to our End of Session Celebration! 🎉 Join N4MN volunteers + friends as we CELEBRATE the wins, hard work, and impact we made together during the 2025 Minnesota State legislative session. 📅 June 30 from 6pm to 8pm 🗺️ 411 N Washington Ave 😋 Food & drinks provided – please RSVP at the link in bio by June 23rd so we can plan accordingly! RSVP to the End of Session Celebration 📖 Extra, Extra, Read All About It 📖 Read some key take-aways from our most recent Member Social with CTUL where workers organize, educate and empower each other to fight for a voice in their workplaces and in their communities. "Let’s build more homes for our neighbors, AND make sure the people building those homes are paid fairly and treated with dignity. That’s how we solve our housing crisis and build the kind of communities we all deserve." Read the post here. Minnesota needs to provide more housing choices and options, particularly smaller homes, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. These options help support young people just starting out, older adults seeking to downsize, and the growing number of Minneapolis households who have no children. Read the streets.mn article here!
