| The Somali Action Alliance: History and Future |
 The Somali Action Alliance is a unique organization focused on building the power of
the Somali community through collective, proactive action. We began as a project of VOICE for Community Power, and after two years of support, transitioned into a separate organization in 2004. Our beginning as a voter participation project focused on the 2002 senate campaign between the late Senator Paul Wellstone and Norm Coleman. A combination or voter registration, voter education, convening activities and leadership training opportunities created a space where community members could learn and act together. The energy and possibility created provided the impetus to continue working together to shape an organization as the foundation for powerful, ongoing community building.

 Kulankii Dadwaynaha Iyo Musharixiinta
(Community Meetings with Elected Officials)
Meeting with Senatorial Candidates, 2006
This meeting, held at Augsburg College / Foss Center, was attended by a wide selection of members of the Somali Community, associated organizations, and the invited candidates.
The purpose of the meeting was to educate people in the community, and to hold candidates accountable to the community regarding issues that impact our lives directly, such as the closure of the hawalas (Somali local money transfer system), immigration restrictions since September 11, 2001 preventing us from reuniting with our families, and other issues.
