Rooftop solar coming for Roof Depot: The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute and Cooperative Energy Futures landed a federal grant to develop a large solar array to power project and local homes. sahanjournal.com/climate-enviro…

This spring we're planting seeds that will nourish East Phillips for the long haul 🌱
And now, we need funds to buy equipment like a solar-powered water pump, storage tanks, and a few wheelbarrows. Help us hit this goal by chipping in at any amount here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/ep…

🌼 Come chat with folks from the EPNI team! We'll be hanging out from 11am - 3pm on April 18 and April 29. This is a casual way to meet some of our team leads as well as share your ideas, questions and feedback relating to the Roof Depot development project.

We’re sowing new seeds in many ways every week and now we're asking you to help them take root! Support this work by chipping into our spring fund drive 🌱

Thank you to community organizers at East Phillips Urban Farm and ClimateJusticeCommittee for such an amazing educational event about the fight for environmental and racial justice in Southside Minneapolis. We appreciated our elders speaking about their experience! Show up for Camp Nenookaasi

Thanks for sharing ideas and snacks with us at our March community meeting ☀️

We focused on discussing the emerging Outdoor Urban Farm portion of the project. Attendees gave input on what those outdoor spaces should look and feel like through conversation, crafts and more 🌱

Thanks to LERA coffee hour for having me present to Little Earth residents! 🥞☕️

Over a shared pancake breakfast, we had a jam-packed conversation about:

Bituminous Roadways closure, shutting down Smith Foundry, folk’s dreams & desires for the land, and @EPNI_UrbanFarm updates!

We accepted the National Lawyers Guild's Social Justice Award in great company❤️‍🔥

EPNI wouldn't have this chance to renovate the Roof Depot without the East Phillips neighborhood, Little Earth, community partners & elected officials that fought alongside us over the past 10 years

We need your input! Join us on 4/3 or 4/7 to help craft community demands before EPNI goes to the bargaining table with funders and developers in April, when we'll work collectively to refine the ownership model for the development phase of this project. linktr.ee/epnifarm

Calling on those who like cleaning and organizing! Come hang out and help as we get our supplies tidied up before the growing season starts. Find us at 2433 Bloomington Ave, Mpls starting at 5pm 🧹

Thank you to the Minnesota chapter of the National Lawyers Guild for the community justice award, and much gratitude to Susana De Leon for the nomination 🌼 Join for a wonderful evening of speakers, food and more on Saturday.
