The Rally Against Hyper-Scale Data Centers today shows that people across the state have deep concerns about proposed massive data centers in our communities.
We need a two-year moratorium NOW to make sure that we have the right regulations in place to hold true to our clean energy commitments.

Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos and Makayla Freeman stand behind a podium addressing a seated crowd in the Minnesota Capitol Rotunda. Behind them is a painted cloth waterfall draped from the rotunda balcony. It says, "Honor the Treaties. How do we heal our relatives & Mother Earth, Makhá Iná, Gimaamanaan Akí?" There are pieces of paper shaped like blue water drops, green fish, and cream stalks of wild rice pinned to it.
MNIPL’s Jim Bear Jacobs reminded us of how much we can learn from our relationships to the natural world, and Youth N’ Power’s Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos and Makayla Freeman led us in a call and response about letting go and releasing the ways of being that are causing us hurt and pain.

A table with pieces of paper drawn on and cut out to look like blue water drops, green fish, and cream stalks of wild rice. People are writing on the pieces of paper.
Four people are pinning pieces of paper that look like stalks of wild rice and fish onto a large cloth painted to look like a waterfall in the Minnesota Capitol Rotunda.
Folks wrote out their ideas for healing on fish, water droplets, and stalks of manoomin or psíŋ (wild rice) and pinned them to this waterfall in a shared reflection on where we need to go next.

MNIPL joined with Rise & Repair on the first day of the legislative session to welcome our legislators back and ask the important question: how do we heal our relatives and Mother Earth?

A close up of a ice-glazed branch of a tree back-lit by the sun is in the background.
There is a box of text that says, "There was a time when this vision to end fossil fuel use felt aspirational. Something we needed, something to strive for, but something that seemed to many to be based on a future we couldn’t see.
"Today, this vision isn’t aspirational. It is inevitable.
"Even as we confront the phase out of fossil fuels, in the face of an industry that paralyzes certain players to make the change we need, the sun is shining.
"For us all."
An insert of a picture of a woman sits above another text box that says, "Sara Wolff, Strategic Policy Director"
