Storytelling Slam

​A vibrant community celebration, where neighbors share stories of climate & environmental justice, solutions & visions for a better world.

​Hear freshly crafted stories from your Twin Cities neighbors—many stepping up to the mic for the first time. Join us in celebrating community members who courageously share their lived experiences of climate change and environmental justice, along with their solutions and visions for a more vibrant future.

​Sat. Jan. 31, 2 -4 p.m.

​2 p.m. refreshments | 2:30 p.m. program

​Featuring the Afro-Latin to hip hop and R&B beats of drummer Kevin Washington, who will intersperse spoken stories

​Enjoy refreshments and an immersive afternoon of stories, poetry, and music that engage head, heart, and soul. Together, we’ll prepare ourselves to meet the urgent environmental challenges of our time and explore meaningful ways to respond. Attendees will also learn about the State of Minnesota’s Environmental Justice Cumulative Impacts Bill Rule (passed in 2023) and opportunities to use the power of our stories in its implementation.

​Community participation is crucial in this process, as our stories have the power to ensure the law carries the strength and accountability it was intended to have.

​This event is hosted by Change Narrative LLC with community partners: Sabathani Community Center, San Pablo Community Church, in collaboration with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
