Pozole Fundraiser with María Teresa Tula

cover

Home-cooked meals to #KeepStPaulHome!

Love good food? Care about housing justice? Join us for a special 2-part fundraiser!

María Teresa Tula will be cooking home made pozole, and she'll be teaching a virtual cooking class where you can learn to cook pozole!

María Teresa Tula is a renowned human rights activist, author, and leader of Co-Madres (Mothers of the Disappeared) of El Salvador. She is also a beloved grandmother who prepares delicious food for her family and community. She lived for many years on St. Paul's West Side, where her granddaughter, Cintya Canales, currently organizes for housing justice with the West Side Community Organization (WSCO).

Cintya and María are teaming up to offer two exciting ways to support housing justice here in St. Paul:

Why support rent stabilization?

Whether homeowner or renter — across race, class and zip code — all of our neighbors in St. Paul deserve the chance to put down roots in our communities.  More than half of St. Paul households are renters. We are teachers and nurses, organizers and essential workers who keep our city running and love and care for our communities. But the most basic of human needs — shelter — is put out of our reach by predatory property owners who want to extract and hoard resources at the expense of ALL St. Paul residents. 

On November 2, we can vote YES for rent stabilization to make sure St. Paul is a place where everyone has a place to call home, no exceptions.

Click here to learn more about this important policy — and how you can become part of our growing movement!

What is pozole?

"Pozole is a traditional soup or stew made from hominy with meat and can be seasoned and garnished with shredded lettuce or cabbage, chile peppers, onion, garlic, radishes, avocado, salsa or limes. Known in Mesoamerica since the pre-Columbian era, today the stew is common across Mexico and neighboring countries, and is served both as a day-to-day meal and as a festive dish." –Wikipedia
