The Social Action Committee within our Chapter works to create political awareness through legislature, community action, and civic events.

​

Voter Registration and Education 

Minneapolis-St. Paul Alumnae Chapter works to register voters at various community events and educate the community about legislative topics. Most recently, the Chapter was a sponsor of When We All Vote’s “Fuel the Vote” community drive-thru food and voter registration drives in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

ReDiSTricting 101

The Chapter's most recent public voter education event was a "ReDiSTricting101" webinar on February 12, 2022 with guest speaker Brett Buckner, Managing Director of OneMN.org.
