ISAIAH : Faith in Democracy

Isaiah Minnesota is a faith based organization dedicated to creating a Minnesota that is equitable and just. Isaiah works on issues at the local and state level, develops leadership of everyday people who in turn become involved in matters that affect our daily lives. 

This summer, the southern Minnesota chapter, under the leadership of Rev. Todd Lippert, has been holding listening sessions to learn what the top concerns are for people in this region. Through house meetings and adult forums at churches, these are the themes that have emerged as most concerning: Housing, elder care, future of rural hospitals and paying for health care, child care costs and availability, climate and environment, food security and expenses, and school funding. This information will be used to create an agenda for Isaiah in our work with political leadership and the local and state level. 

I ask that you participate in this by completing this anonymous survey. The survey is in partnership with the Small Town Organizing Project of Isaiah. The results will help us determine how we create a Minnesota that works for everyone. 

Small Town Needs Survey-Northfield UMC. All the responses are anonymous. The deadline for the survey is Sept. 21. Small Town Needs Survey - Northfield UMC 

I encourage you to join others from Northfield and elsewhere in attending the Oct. 11 training and state convention Dec. 13th. You CAN make a difference.
