Demand Universal Background Checks!

On the morning of yet another fatal school shooting, MN Legislature voted along party lines AGAINST moving forward universal background checks HF1669 (except for Rep. Franke) and protective order HF1605. This is not okay! #Enough #NotOneMore

National Walkout - Gun Reform Now!

#Enough #GunReformNow #NotOneMore

As students and teachers across the country take part in Enough: National School Walkout, let's amplify their voices by calling our US Representative and Senators about some important federal gun bills.

Northside Students - March For Our Lives - March 24, 2018

Students across the US are calling for sensible gun laws and an end to gun violence. In 2 weeks, March For Our Lives events will take place across the country and the world.

Young Black activists have been calling for an end to gun violence for decades without much media attention or mass support. Let’s make sure the concerns of our MN communities most impacted by gun violence are represented at the national event, that their voices get heard.

Did you know?

As many as 1/4 low-income urban youth have witnessed a murder, and 75% have heard gunshots.
Black kids are 3x more likely to be killed by guns than white kids.
Black kids are 10x more likely to die by gun homicides than white kids, but white kids are more likely to use guns for suicides.

Let's make that the concerns of the communities most impacted by gun violence are represented. Let's ensure their voices are heard.

Equal Rights Amendments Must Pass! HF189/313/3257 & SF224/101/2827

What do we want? The Equal Rights Amendment.

When do we want it? NOW!

In the US, women still face inequality due to sexual harassment, inequitable pay and unequal treatment in the courts. Let’s change that and make women equal under the law. It is time!

Let’s join the 24 other states who have added an Equal Rights Amendment to their State Constitution (including Texas)! Let’s get the ratification going again at the federal level!

Beyond DACA - Permanent Protection For All!

The March 5th DACA deadline is all but gone, with no legislative solution for Dreamers. Or TPS holders. Or DED holders. Meanwhile ICE detention and deportations are ripping families apart. Our legislators are failing our immigrant brothers and sisters.

“Beyond DACA” is a series of actions hosted by local immigrant rights groups THIS WEEK to hold our MN legislators to account for their in/action. Let’s join them in demanding permanent protection for all!

Taskforce for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Minnesota

Indigenous women are 2 ½ times more likely to suffer violence than any other group in the US. In some parts of Minnesota, the murder rate of Indigenous women is over 10 times higher than anywhere else in the country. This must stop!

MN Reps Kunesh-Podein and Becker-Finn are calling for a taskforce to be set up to address the endemic crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Minnesota. Let's support this call!
