On September 2nd 2008, 7-10,000 people will gather at the Minnesota State Capitol Mall to engage in trainings, education, community building, music and art in the name of positive social and environmental change.
With the attention of the nation on St. Paul, RIPPLE EFFECT will go beyond the convention and beyond partisanship to further the already burgeoning global movement for sustainability, justice and equality.
Organized by Substance, a young nonprofit founded by three progressives in their early 20’s, RIPPLE EFFECT will create partnerships with a diverse team of local and national organizations to provide a catalyst that will unite activists, engage youth and demonstrate positive action.
Their work is not finished, however, as they have yet to meet their fundraising goal. To keep the event free and open to all, they are raising money organically through individual donations, name-your-own-price tickets, and sponsorships from like-minded companies.
* Your contribution will make this event possible. Get your tickets at www.rippleeffect08.com. To donate via paypal, click here! Contact info@livewithsubstance.org for more information. Thanks!
Free and Open to All | A Green and Zero-Waste Event.
