Main Street Project provides creative and practical tools to give rural and urban community residents of all ages, cultures, economic and immigration status the opportunity to more fully participate in all aspects of community life. Our goal is to strengthen local capacity for problem solving - so that answers to challenges come directly from the community.

About the JUSTICE 2.0 initiative
Communication is a fundamental human right. Yet people are denied this right every day. Main Street Project developed the Justice 2.0 initiative to give voice to historically under-represented and digitally excluded community members and allies – those most in need of media justice. Training and support is focused on using interactive Web 2.0 technologies and digital storytelling, advocating for immigrant rights and digital justice issues, and combating anti-immigrant and racist voices in the media.

About the AGRIPRENEUR TRAINING MODEL
The Rural Enterprise Center has created an innovative, scalable model that capitalizes on the strengths of immigrant Latin@s, and addresses challenges often tied to structural racism: lack of access to land, working capital, marketing and business support infrastructure, and focused training.

The model is designed to require minimum investment / inputs and deliver maximum return / outputs, moving through three phases: Discovery, Development and Launch. At the same time, the model has the power to transform the way food is produced and delivered. Visit RuralEC.com to learn how change is unfolding in southeastern Minnesota.
