Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

@esaagar Birds of a feather 😂

Only reason I know the Senate is debating the K12 bill right now at 3am is because I have a 6 week old to feed. Super confused as to the utility of doing this right now. Who is at their best, who is able to watch at this time? It’s a $23 billion bill! #mnleg

@GovTimWalz The city of Saint Paul does not claim this

[Jose R. Perez @JRPMN04]

Thursday, March 2nd I testified at the Minnesota Senate against SF 1477, legislation that would eliminate all non-traditional pathways to long term teaching.

Young people must still be represented in our laws even if young people are not yet able to vote. #mnleg @bridgemakersmn
