Mission

Cure protects and restores resilient towns and landscapes by harnessing the power of people who care about them. We do this because we believe that robust human communities can only be sustained by healthy ecosystems, and robust natural environments can only be regained through vigorous stewardship. Our work takes many forms, but always involves three core practices: awakening people's bonds with the natural world around them, inclusively and strategically exploring issues and actions, systematically building communities of change at critical intersections of ecological and social well-being.

Programs

1 program

Cure's rural democracy program embraces democracy-driven solutions to rural issues and environmental justice. We work with people across minnesota to build power to create a more sustainable future and vibrant communities that benefit all who live here.the rural democracy project is helping people in rural communities build independent political power with a special focus on electoral politics. Starting at the local level is where real change will take root; this will set a precedent for the state and nation. Passionate groups of people meeting in cafes, living rooms, and churches across minnesota are where change is cultivated. This is the nursery of democracy.
