Equity Committee update

The Equity Committee focused on renter outreach and advocacy in 2022, hosting several renters forums, community meals at Union Flats and Seal Hi-Rise and partnering with HOME Line (homelinemn.org) for renters’ rights resources and Q &As.

In September, the committee hosted the first St. Anthony Park Community Council ice cream social at Hampden Park where more than 200 community members came together to talk with committees and local organizations.

Currently, the committee is compiling its 2023 calendar to include community meals, renters events and community events. It is also applying for a HOME Line Renter Advocacy VISTA to help organizing efforts in the St. Anthony Park renting community.

However, the committee needs help to carry out this work. If you’re interested in joining in, please consider attending our committee meetings on a new day and time: We will be meeting the last Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. For more information, please contact jessica@sapcc.org if you have any questions.
