Have You (and your friends and family) Contacted Your GOP Senators Lately?

SF970 Public Safety Omnibus bill (Omnibus judiciary and public safety policy and finance bill) is still being heard in the conference committee. Big discrepancies remain on the issue of police accountability measures. The DFL-controlled House wants them included, and the GOP-controlled Senate doesn’t. We need to change that.

Time to Act on Police Brutality, MMIW and Operation Safety Net (April 20)

We had much to celebrate at Time to Act tonight. Globally, we celebrated the guilty verdict of former Minneapolis Police Department for the murder of George Floyd. The verdict was swift and found him guilty of all charges including third degree murder. Locally, we celebrated the birthday of one of the Time to Act participants. And then we set out to make change.

We worked on the following actions:

Remove the "Drunk Loophole" from MN Law!

Call to action! Content warning for this post, which discusses sexual assault.

There is an effort in the Legislature, which the Court affirms is "institutionally better positioned" to address this issue, to change the statute to include being intoxicated as mental incapacitation (among other changes).

Please contact your state legislators and express support for HF707 (to Representatives) and SF1683 (to Senators) to eliminate the "drunk loophole" from state law.

Inaugural Time to Act – made friends and important calls to policymakers

Hear that sound? It’s democracy zooming into action. Tuesday night from 6-7pm, a group of Women’s March MN members took Time to Act. We met via Zoom. We introduced ourselves. It felt great to hear the voices of women. We made sure everyone was confident with the technology and the process and we got down to work.
