    This event will arm attendees with the knowledge and connections to mobilize Asian American and Pacific Islander communities nationwide for the 2024 elections. The Summit will include plenaries and workshops across three tracks: organizing voters around priority issues, grassroots training to expand local impact, and activating young AAPIs as change makers. Through insider briefings, sharing best practices, and forging bonds with fellow organizers, attendees will emerge prepared to build political empowerment and drive voter turnout this November. Since 2008, the Presidential Town Hall has served as a crucial national forum for inviting presidential candidates to engage directly with the AAPI community. By providing a dedicated space for candidates to address AAPI community members, leaders, and organizers face-to-face, the town hall offers one of the rare opportunities for this impactful growing electorate to hear directly from those vying for the nation’s highest office.

    Every two years, the Judicial Branch creates a strategic plan “to support its mission to provide justice through a system that assures equal access for the fair and timely resolution of cases and controversies.” Informing this plan will be the Branch’s long-term strategic vision set out in our Roadmap. This work will support a deliberate and planned approach to achieving the long-term strategies and initiatives identified through this process.

     

    The survey asks for feedback on the priorities outlined in the Minnesota Judicial Branch Roadmap:

     

    • Improve the court experience for all.
    • Prioritize workplace wellness for all judicial officers and employees.
    • Promote access to treatment courts across Minnesota.
    • Cultivate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive court system.
    • Enhance support for self-represented litigants.

    Survey responses from judicial officers, staff, justice partners, and members of the public will be used to inform the Branch’s strategic planning process. We would appreciate your feedback to this important effort for the Branch.  

     

    Please share the survey with your network as well. The final Strategic Plan will be posted on the Minnesota Judicial Branch website on the About the Courts page on the Mission & Vision tab. 

     

    The survey is available today through Friday, March 8. The link and information about the survey can be found on the Judicial Branch’s website. You can also take the survey through the direct link provided below.
