Neighbors addressing climate change
Transition Town — All St. Anthony Park
Smaller Footprint, Stronger Community
We’re neighbors linking up to live responsibly on the Earth. Our ideas are as many as the challenges we all face. But they may not yet include yours. Come, think, work, and celebrate with us!
Our purpose is to raise our neighborhood's understanding of climate change and the limits of fossil fuels, and to foster a positive, community-wide transition to more sustainable ways of life... ASAP. ASAP reminds us that climate calls for our best efforts, right now. All Saint Anthony Park means South and North; renters and homeowners; newcomers and long-timers; businesses and nonprofits, youth, students, and seniors; faith groups, people of all ethnicities... all are needed. (See a map of our area of St. Paul, Minnesota.)
The 100 Trees Initiative is greening the streets of South St. Anthony Park. We're among the partners in this collaboration with the Creative Enterprise Zone.

During the pandemic, we reflected, grieved, and dreamed of a better world. We also learned new habits, some worth keeping! Keepers is a zine by neighbor and book artist Regula Russelle. Read it here, then print copies to share (instructions).

stronger community.

Kindred, Octavia Butler's visionary novel of time travel, was a landmark in science fiction when it was published in 1979. Dana, a modern Black woman, is transported abruptly from her home in California to the antebellum South to save the white son of a plantation owner from drowning.
The book group is co-hosted by Transition Town and the St. Paul Public Library. Note that we meet at Zvago Housing Co-op for this session. Details. Questions? Email Communications@TransitionASAP.org.
