Our next Adult Education will be June 9th at 11:10 a.m. - John Slade, East Metro Congregational Organizer from MICAH (Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing), will be joining us to talk about the work of MICAH in our community. John has been organizing with MICAH for over a decade. He works with two chapters - the Northeast Suburban Chapter, which goes from Hugo to White Bear Lake to Mahtomedi to Stillwater, and the St. Paul chapter. Projects include the Housing Equity Now St. Paul (HENS) which recently won renter's rights protections, the East Side Housing Justice group, and support for Freedom from the Streets, a homeless-led organizing campaign. Racism is at the core of many of the inequalities in affordable housing in our area. He works on zoning and land use, transit corridors, and production and maintenance of affordable housing. He lives on the East Side of Saint Paul with his wife and child.
