Align MPLS Winter 2025-26 Organizing Guide
Congregational Organizing is vital to the work Align Minneapolis does in addressing homelessness. Our Campaign Guide provides ample opportunity for values and beliefs to meet action and praxis. Whether directly serving someone experiencing homelessness or advocating for laws and policies that creates more affordable housing or better serves our unsheltered neighbors, each act of engagement either introduces, inculcates, or reinforces faith inspired values.
