Hello Youth Moving Forward Friends!


April 6, 3:30-5 is the YMF art opening at the Capitol (in the North Hall, 
adjacent to the 1st floor rotunda) - celebrating the Kulture Klub Collaborative 
COST: Consider Our Stories True exhibit .

 

This is a perfect occasion to invite colleagues, friends, board members, youth, 
family and others in your life who have heard about your work on youth 
homelessness but who have never visited the capitol.

 

Please help make this a success (WE NEED YOU), and:

  1.. Attend! 
  2.. Invite others, especially your legislators (flyers for the public and for 
legislators attached - thanks to Marney Thomas of Youthlink) 
 

Directions to the capitol and other logistical questions can be answered at 
www.leg.mn, or send questions to me and I will do my best to provide answers.

 

Art openings are fun, easy ways to enjoy one another - celebrate the talented 
Kulture Klub - and engage legislators in a casual environment! SEE YOU THERE

 

IN OTHER UPDATES:

  a.. The YMF hearing in the House Housing and Public Health Finance committee 
went very well. The hearing took place Tuesday, March 31 and was a great 
success due to your presence, due to great youth representatives and testifiers 
Grace Foresberg of Avenues and Lance Goodwin of Youthlink, and due to our great 
author Rep. Rosenthal. Please take a moment to e-mail your thanks to Rep. 
Rosenthal for his excellent leadership - at rep.paul.rosenthal [at] house.mn. 
  b.. Thursday, April 2 a crucial YMF proposal will be heard in Senate Finance! 
Sen. Marty's SF666 assures youth who run from care at age 15 or later or who 
age out of care can return for supports. 
  c.. Monica Nilsson, a treasured member of our community and talented 
columnist was once again famous on Sunday as with her brother Steven she had an 
OpEd entitled They don't need pity. They need change. published in the Star 
Tribune 
http://www.startribune.com/opinion/commentary/42021817.html?elr=KArksc8P:Pc:U0ckkD:aEyKUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU.
 Excellently done, Monica touches on multiple aspects of homelessness including 
youth experience - you'll want to check this out.
