Thanks for supporting #MNWeekendofAction

Thank you to the planners, the volunteers, the people who honked at us on the bridges and the passersby who joined us for our MN Weekend of Action.  On Friday, we made posters and signs for Sunday’s Pro-Choice Bridge Brigade. Saturday, 20 people came out to write postcards to help Flip the MN Senate; more than 700 postcards were created!  We enjoyed perfect Fall weather as we door knocked for a phenomenal Pro-Choice candidate, Judy Seeberger (SD41) on Saturday afternoon in Cottage Grove. Sunday morning, 30 plus volunteers held up Vote Pro-Choice signs on three prominent bridges in the Twin Cities before the Vikings game. (Let’s hope their win rubs off on us!) 

Some of us attended the live taping of the Island of Discarded Women (IODW) Sunday night. We helped attendees register to vote and sent postcards to select addresses encouraging folks to vote for pro-choice candidates. 

At the event, Oogie_Push from the Meskwaki Nation near Tama, Iowa told a story about making calls to encourage voters in her community. They made hundreds of calls - often reaching people they knew. Many decided after the call to vote. In the end, their candidate won by 48 votes. (You can hear more stories once the podcast IOWD broadcasts!)

We make a difference! Know that and please continue to make a difference. It’s going to take all of us!

If you have an event you want us to promote, please send it to us admin@womensmarchmn.com. We have postcards and scripts if you want to send them, again email us and we’ll find a way to get you the supplies. (Like the woman who needs 400+ for her apartment neighbors to fill out!) We will continue to keep our calendar updated. 

We can do it together!!
