Sam Daley-Harris Visits Minnesota in Person

Reclaiming Our Democracy, Cowles Auditorium, Humphrey School of Public Affairs – Wednesday, October 9, 5:30 – 7pm

Sam Daley-Harris—author, activist, and social entrepreneur—shares the 20th anniversary edition of his book Reclaiming Our Democracy and how the organizations he has founded (RESULTS and the Microcredit Summit Campaign) or coached (Citizens Climate Lobby) have been leading change-makers in three global movements: 1) microfinance, 2) child survival, and 3) climate change. Daley-Harris will discuss how he has helped thousands of ordinary citizens transform hopelessness into extraordinarily powerful advocacy. Humphrey School Senior Fellow and resident grassroots democracy philosopher Dr. Harry Boyte will offer comments.

Community Solar Garden Info Sessions

Learn more about Community Solar Gardens and how you can participate. New legislation in Minnesota has created an opportunity that allows individuals and households to “subscribe” to energy from a solar installation located on a large roof in the community. This gives new options for community members to participate without the need to have a solar installation on their home.

Ken Bradley, from Minnesota Community Solar, will deliver a short presentation and convene a dialogue on the program. Discover how you can partner with Cool Planet to grow this idea!

RSVP 952-920-1547 or mindy@coolplanetmn.org

When: Fridays, September 13th, October 11th and November 15th, 2013
6:30 – 8pm Followed by inspiring films, food and conversation

We will provide a simple local organic main dish. Bring something to share if you wish and join the fun. ☺
