    Looking for a little good news this November? We’ve got you covered. With Give to the Max officially underway, we’re celebrating with our favorite Give for Good stories, highlighting the great work of nonprofits making our communities brighter each and every day. Giving for Good looks a little different for all of us, but there’s one thing we all share: when we give generously, courageously, and joyously during Minnesota’s giving holiday, we are Giving for Good together. And when we do, we help to power the work of nonprofits who make our state a better place to call home. So join us as we Give for Good now through November 21 at giveMN.org

    Thanks to your support, we’ve created welcoming communities for #newcomers and #displaced people globally. 🌍 The outcome of this #election does not change that, and we will not stop fighting for the dignity of all people. This week at Alight, we’re asking: Will legal pathways remain for refugees in the U.S.? 🇺🇸 What will happen with the refugee sponsorship programs that so many of us have worked so hard to build over the past few years? You can support refugees by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word—every action counts. ✨ Share your thoughts and keep the conversation alive. 💬 https://bit.ly/3AsBTp5 #Alight #Refugees #WelcomeCorps #Election2024

    As Americans head to the polls today, I want to share a reminder: No matter today’s election outcome, Alight's commitment to refugees and displaced communities will not change. We work alongside many types of governments around the world, each with unique challenges, yet we always adapt to the circumstances at hand to continue doing the doable for individuals who have been uprooted from their homes. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve been creating welcoming communities for newcomers to the United States, and we’ll keep going. Whether by making an extra gift *today* to sustain our work or becoming a monthly donor, your support makes a real difference. Thank you for making this work possible. https://lnkd.in/gNs8VErS

    In partnership with the Mortenson Family Foundation, Alight gathered leaders and funders in Minneapolis to discuss ways to build community, foster social cohesion, and create belonging for all—whether newcomers or longtime Minnesotans. 🌟 Open conversations explored shared values, diverse experiences, and strategies to bridge divides and strengthen connections 🤝. To get involved or partner with Alight on our new strategy in creating welcoming communities across the U.S., contact 📧 info@wearealight.org.
