An engaged community is a powerful community. We work collaboratively with communities and organizations to increase awareness of civic processes, creating access to decision-making levers in our society, empowering residents to increase their involvement in their community.

The ANIKA Foundation partnered with Ramsey County to produce an annual Juneteenth Celebration to commemorate this historic event. We were issued a Proclamation by Governor Tim Walz and Secretary of State Steve Simon acknowledging the momentus occassion - one year after the murder of George Floyd and 100 years after the lynching of Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson, and Isaac McGhie, in Duluth, Minnesota.
