Save the date! The Gubernatorial Forum is set for September 29th (6:30p-8:30p) at the Minneapolis Hilton. The forum, presented by the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless, the Minnesota Housing Partnership and A Minnesota Without Poverty, will focus on issues related to housing, homelessness, and poverty. Cosponsors include: Minnesota REALTORS Association, Joint Religious Legislative Coalition, Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, Youth Moving Forward Coalition, and Davey Law.
The forum will be held at MCH’s Annual Conference which typically draws over 250 housing advocates, service providers, public employees, and people experiencing homelessness from across Minnesota.
The forum will be moderated by Keesha Gaskins, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Minnesota. The League of Women Voters of Minnesota (LWVMN) is a non-partisan, grassroots, volunteer organization with 42 local leagues statewide. The organization’s members research, find consensus on, advocate, and lobby for selected public policy issues. Founded in 1919, the League is best known for encouraging citizen participation in the electoral process through voter registration and the organization of public forums and candidate debates for citizen education.
