Dear Streets.mn Community,
Imagine a Minnesota where every street tells a story, every neighborhood thrives and every voice is heard. That’s the vision we’re working toward at Streets.mn, and we need your help to make it a reality.
We’re kicking off a multi-week donation drive, and we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. Your support will fuel our mission to create more livable, sustainable and vibrant communities across our state.
Why Your Contribution Is a Game-Changer
1. Elevate Voices: Your donation empowers our exceptional managing editor, Amy Gage, to continue curating and polishing the diverse stories that make Streets.mn unique. With Amy’s expert touch, every article you read becomes a window into the heart of Minnesota’s communities.
2. Nurture New Talent: Help us bring our next contributor’s workshop to Duluth and then to reach more cities across the state! Your support will give aspiring writers the tools and confidence to share their perspectives, ensuring that Streets.mn truly represents more of Minnesota.
3. Amplify Ideas: Love our podcast? So do we! Your contribution will help us expand this popular platform, diving deeper into the urban issues that shape our daily lives. Imagine more episodes like Ian R Buck’s insightful coverage of the 2024 Minnesota legislative session.
4. Stay Connected: Our News & Views newsletter is your curated guide to the best of Streets.mn. With your help, we can increase its frequency, ensuring you never miss a beat in Minnesota’s urbanist evolution, which affects small communities and mid-size cities, too!
5. Building Community: Picture Streets.mn at your local Open Streets event, fostering face-to-face connections and sparking conversations about our shared urban future. Your donation makes these vital community engagements possible.
6. Do the Hard Work: Soon Streets.mn will post our aspirations for working to become an anti-racist organization. We’ve been educating ourselves about how to be better world citizens, and how to address past urban policies and a history that destroyed communities with freeways and housing restrictions. We want to call that out and advocate for change to help improve those communities. Please help fund this work.
