In the Community
- MICAH St. Paul Chapter Annual [virtual] Legislative Breakfast (Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing) Wednesday, January 26, 8-9:30 am via Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82536401270. MICAH is called to challenge racist practices like this that harm communities of color. St. Paul had passed tenant protections that limit use of criminal, housing court, and credit records by landlords; but then repealed that legislation under pressure from a big landlord lawsuit. We will look at these issues of racism and housing at a state and local level. RSVP with your name, phone number, legislative district or street address, and the number attending to us at MicahBrkfst@comcast.net.
- Home Demolitions in Jerusalem, a three-part Zoom teach-in, will be held on Sundays, January 30, February 13 and 27, 12-1 pm. Details and Registration
