Across the state, Minnesotans work every day to build strong towns, schools, businesses, and institutions. No matter our background, there is a shared value of protecting what we love and creating a vibrant future for our kids and grandkids. All people—urban and rural—deserve livable communities that meet our daily needs, from education, childcare, and healthcare to clean air and water and healthy environments. At CURE, we help to make sure that rural voices are heard in policy, and we stand with tribal nations in the decision-making that impacts our homes, livelihoods, and landscapes. We all love living here. Together, let’s protect the land, water, and people that make it home.Â
