Hi all,

Long time no see ❤

If you haven't gotten word yet, I'm moving on from my role with MN350 and starting as an organizer with the Sierra Club at the beginning of next year.  I'm so deeply grateful for all I've learned and for the relationships I've built while with MN350 (especially through the divestment work) but very excited to be taking this next step forward in my life.  I know it's last minute, but if you're available tonight please come help me celebrate this transition at Merlin's Rest (a pub in south Mpls, off Lake Street). Details are below.

Dear Kevin --

Upon reflection of the last four seasons, I find hope in how we have stood together to fight for climate justice and for each other. In the darkness of this winter season, let us gather together to celebrate the steps we have taken to mobilize our friends, family, neighbors and local communities to hold elected and corporate leaders accountable to meaningful action on climate. Will you join us for a celebratory and heartfelt evening at the MN350 Winter Community Gathering?

Thursday, Dec 21, 2017 | 6:00 - 8:00 pm
CWA Local 7200, 3521 East Lake St, Minneapolis


As a new volunteer, I am so excited to be a part of MN350 and to meet more and more people getting active in the growing, local climate movement. The Winter Community Gathering is a time to gather with fellow community members and MN350 supporters for an evening of storytelling, live music by Doug Rhode and delicious food from Gandhi Mahal.

We will also pay tribute to Patty O’Keefe, MN350’s second staff person, as she transitions to a new position with the Sierra Club. Join us to celebrate Patty’s efforts and new adventure that lies ahead.

I believe in the power of community. By gathering and standing together on the longest and darkest night, we can reflect, release, and place intentions for the coming year and the soon-to-be growing light.


Please bring your friends and family to join together in an evening of celebration, storytelling and nourishment for body and soul!


In solidarity,

Jack Sea, volunteer with MN350
