Get involved - help us STOP the Excess Project
It might seem as if the Excess Project is too big and backed by
too many powerful interests to stop it - but don't you believe that,
we can still stop this misguided corporate welfare scheme, and can
instead work to ensure that Lake Street and South Minneapolis continue
to be unique and vital places in our City.
But we need your help to do so. Here's a short list of things you
can do to help make our city a better place:
1) Get on our mailing list
And we'll let you know what's going on, with regular updates about
the Excess Project and the Lake Street Repaving.
We'll also be able to let you know about our workshops and presentations,
where we'll meet to discuss what kind of city we want to help create.
Just go to our subscription
page to sign up and receive our updates.
2) Participate in the STRIDE workshops
Come to the meetings we'll be holding this fall. We're hoping to
be able to get together with many of our neighbors to figure out
alternatives for the misguided and destructive Excess Project, and
also to work to influence the outcomes of the ongoing Lake Street
Repaving project.
Make sure to sign up on our mailing
list so that we can notify you of upcoming workshops.
3) Contact your public officials
And let them know how you feel about the Excess Project and about
the direction that the Lake Street Repaving project is taking. They're
supposed to represent us, so give
them a piece of your mind.
4) Get a lawnsign
Get a sign for your yard or your business, and let people know
that there are many of us who are opposed to taxpayer-subsidized
corporate welfare for Wells Fargo and Abbott Hospital. The STRIDE
"STOP the Excess Project"
signs are beautifully handcrafted with spray paint by Ken Avidor,
resident genius. You can get one for FREE
by emailing Ken.
5) Volunteer with STRIDE
We are always looking for people to help us with fliering, meetings,
actions, etc. Just go to our contact
us page and get in touch with any of us to set up a time to
meet and talk.
6) Donate to STRIDE
We need funds to cover costs for our
website, for photocopies, for paint, and for banner materials.
You can now donate online with any major credit card - just click

button below.
