As a community-based non-profit, MNLC is a place of welcome, friendship and community, where newcomers and neighbours gather to support each other, learn from each other, and take action together for a more just and compassionate society. More at MNLCT.org
As the calendar flips over to 2026 you have the opportunity to start fresh. You can go anywhere from here, your current circumstances aren’t a limitation, they are only the start of a new journey.

Celebrated from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, Kwanzaa is a cultural celebration rooted in cultural heritage and built around seven core principles (Nguzo Saba): Unity, self-determination, collective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. It’s a moment to reflect and reconnect.

The biggest step is always the first one: The decision that where you are is not meeting your needs and you are going to do something about it. Once that decision is made, you’ve already accomplished a lot.

Human rights are ESSENTIAL. They are the essentials we all share, the common ground that unites us across differences of race, gender, belief, or background.
Your right to safety, to speak freely and to participate in decisions that affect us are the foundation of our lives.
