In Person + Virtual: Minnesota Peacebuilding Leadership Institute (Minneapolis, MN)

Join us for an evening of fun and inspiration, watching seven short films by and about women while supporting the Minnesota Peacebuilding Leadership Institute aka “Peacebuilding.” Together we are making Minnesota the peacebuilding power state for all.

Instigated in 2010, Peacebuilding has trained over 15,000 people from Minnesota, the US, and around the world. 80% of our trainees are women, 33% are from community of color, and the LGBTQ+ community is well represented.

Because 50% of our trainees’ request scholarship assistance, our Trainee Scholarship Fund ensures racial and economic diversity at all of our community programs.

At the in-person screening, before the LUNAFEST films and during intermission, we’ll sell $5 raffle tickets for a chance to win gift baskets worth hundreds of dollars filled with gift cards, service vouchers, and cool merchandise. You can purchase raffle tickets with cash, check, or credit card. This year, you can earn up to 5 raffle tickets for the in-person event by sharing our LUNAFEST promotion posts on social media!
