Minnesotans from the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area had their first opportunity to participate in a Minnesota: Land of Neighbors Listening Session on July 29 in St. Paul. The conversations about what we share centered around how we care for one another, where divides remain and how we can move forward.

Residents from across western Minnesota gathered at West Central Initiative in Fergus Falls on July 15 to share their thoughts and experiences on what we share and to talk about ways to create connection with those in our neighborhoods, communities and throughout the state.
