This Listening Session is an opportunity for Minnesotans in the Iron Range/St. Louis County area to leave the tiresome outrage and unhealthy division behind.

We’re seeking residents in this area from different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints to speak honestly about what matters to them as neighbors and to listen to others. In this structured conversation, we will explore what actions we could take together to strengthen civic trust and solve challenges for the common good.

Co-sponsored by the St. Louis County Suicide Prevention Coalition, this Listening Session is one in a series that will be held around the state for a new statewide project, Minnesota: Land of Neighbors. Land of Neighbors is aimed at combating unhealthy divisiveness in Minnesota. Organized by Braver Angels Minnesota, Civic Bridgers and Common Ground USA, the campaign is funded by a group of Minnesota foundations.

Land of Neighbors is proud to partner with the St. Louis County Suicide Prevention Coalition on this event. The coalition formed in response to community concern about the loss of neighbors to suicide and other tragedies tied to mental health. And, its efforts are a response by the St. Louis community to care for their neighbors facing these challenges.
