Climate Justice Night: Thank you!

Friends, 

Huge thanks to everyone who took part in MNIPL Climate Justice Night at the Museum!

We are deeply grateful to all who joined us on Thursday to support the growth of a new, hopeful story with MNIPL.

We honor the generosity, energy, and love you brought to this special evening. Together we raised more than $35,000 for the interfaith climate justice movement in our first gala-style event, including tickets, sponsorships, donations, and raffle purchases.

Your generous financial contributions directly support our network in expanding access to community-owned solar, empowering youth, and building an inspired movement for 100% renewable, equitable energy. 

Special thanks to our emcee Rep. Frank Hornstein and speakers Jim Bear Jacobs, Bob Klanderud, Ellen Anderson, Bob Blake, Raj Sethuraju, Teddie Potter, and performers Priest Jones, Tiyumba Drum & Dance, and Steve Blons Duo for sharing inspiring words, music, and dance.

Your feedback is valued and we would love to hear your ideas for future events. Please fill out this short survey. 

We’re excited to be working in partnership with you and look forward to collaboration in the year ahead. 

Check out beautiful photos below by Alina Yaman and Charissa Verdoorn and view the online annual report here. Donation receipts will be mailed this week. 

With gratitude,

Julia Nerbonne, Executive Director
