Northside Initiatives

The PEACE Foundation 2009 Calendar

The movement underway to end violence on the Northside is working! Violence has been down close to 50% on the Northside this year. Your involvement in PEACE Foundation events, forums, and initiatives has been one part the solution, along with a host of other connected actions. We need to build on this momentum by staying focused and keeping active on the Northside.

Partnering with the PEACE Foundation means to join neighbors and community leaders from North Minneapolis, and members of the PEACE Partner Ally Groups forming around the community to…

  • Break bread with partners and allies from across the region
  • Build relationships across the divides that usually separate us
  • Get educated and informed about what we can all do to change the system
  • Support strategies to reduce violence on our blocks
  • Strategize on how the movement for local peace will prevail

Location of Gathering the Movement monthly forums:

PEACE Foundation Offices, above the Cookie Cart, 1119 W. Broadway Ave. (between Emerson & Fremont).  Enter back door/park in alley.  Forums include a light dinner.  If you would like to carpool from the CTK parking lot at 6pm, contact Tomi Kean at 612-285-7095.

These forums are the 4th Thursday of the month except for during the summer months when they have other events at various times. Usually at least 2 or 3 from CTK attend – so it’s easy to join in!
