Wonderful to celebrate passing the MN Voting Rights Act with my #mnleg Senate partner in this work @SenatorChampion and the #mnleg Inclusive Democracy Caucus @AGEllison @MNSteveSimon @_LillySasse_ @HeyWintana @wechooseusmn @NAACP_LDF and so many voting rights champions @umnUROC!

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

An honor to speak with @JonathanScott and @scooterkendall at the @representus American Democracy Summit last night about how Minnesota passed the biggest slate of pro-democracy reforms the state has seen in 50 years!

[Sludge @Sludge]

NEW: Minnesota lawmakers passed a major elections bill that aims to expand voting rights, also becoming the first state to pass a ban on foreign-influenced corporations spending in elections.

This is the moment we’re in. There’s been chatter at the #mnleg about how democracy reform should always be bipartisan… well, it’s a bit difficult to do when some members of the MN GOP believe we shouldn’t have one in the first place.

Minnesota Senate Republican: “Democracies are terrible”

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

“Show me what democracy looks like!”

“This is what democracy looks like!”

The energy in the Capitol last night was unmatched. In a blizzard. Hundreds of people celebrated into the early hours of the morning. And it happened. Congratulations #DL4All!

[UnidosMN @UnidosMN]

No blizzard can stop our power. Immigrant power, presente! #DL4ALL

[Lilly @_LillySasse_]

So proud.

Celebration outside Senate Chamber after MN Senate passes Restore the Vote, a bill that returns voting rights to 50,000-plus persons currently on probation for felony offenses.

LFG.

[Restore the Vote MN @RTVMN]

Happy #RestoreTheVote morning!

See you in just a few hours - 10 AM at the Capitol!

Now’s the time #mnleg

[Lilly @_LillySasse_]

Tomorrow is a historic day for our democracy. Thank you @RTVMN for your decades long work on this bill. One step closer to getting this long overdue, impactful reform PASSED this session for over 55,000 Minnesotans. See you tomorrow. #mnleg

[Restore the Vote MN @RTVMN]

🚨This is not a drill🚨 TWO Big turnout events are taking place this week (Tmw & Fri.)- Please show up and support! #RestoreTheVoteMN #Freedom2VoteMN #MNLeg

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

Every November, Minnesotans show up for our leaders.

Now it's time our leaders showed up for us. And our democracy.

Or next time, we may not be able to show up for them.

Tell your legislator you expect them to protect and expand democracy this #mnleg: https://t.co/z11tekbJ7s

[Erin Murphy @epmurphymn]

“This is what democracy looks like” isn’t just a chant. It is us. Together, we have the power and the right to create our future. With a rotunda full of joyful warriors, I will fight for our democracy. #JoyFightWin

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

Powerful words in the @MNReformer this January 6th from @MNAFLCIO President Bernie Burnham, @seiumn President Jamie Gulley and @EducationMN President @DeniseSpecht.

We must take meaningful action this #mnleg to protect and expand our democracy.

So excited about this!

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

Big news at the Capitol as legislators announce their new Inclusive Democracy Caucus!

The best way to protect our democracy is to expand it, and it’s exciting to see leaders ready to do just that this #mnleg !!

[Lilly @_LillySasse_]

🔈🔈🔈This was Minnesotans’ mandate!

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

Earlier today, the Minnesota House announced that Democracy is a Top 3 Priority of the next #mnleg.

We are thrilled to see that House File 3 is full of changes we know we need in order to build the multiracial democracy Minnesotans deserve.

[Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon]

I’m proud that we in Minnesota signed a brief urging SCOTUS to reject a fringe legal theory that could allow state legislatures to do anything they want in regulating federal elections - stripping all power and authority from governors and state courts.

What a powerful weekend! Over 200 grassroots leaders committed to lead to pass a pro-democracy agenda at the #mnleg this session.

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

This weekend, over 200 leaders from across the state came together for the #wechooseus Strategy Retreat.

We have a plan to transform Minnesota into the multiracial democracy we all deserve.

And we're taking it to the #mnleg this January.

"Now is the time to pass legislation to strengthen the freedom to vote..., protect our election workers..., and ensure that it is Minnesota voters, not big corporations or the wealthy few, who are calling the shots." - @emmagreenman

Yes! Powerful words in today's @MinnPost

[Lilly @_LillySasse_]

Share this number far and wide today, folks. If you see something, say something.

[We Choose Us @wechooseusmn]

Keep Minnesota a state where everyone can cast their vote free from intimidation and harassment.

If you see voter intimidation or harassment on election day, you can report it to Common Cause and the ACLU.

Meanwhile, a progressive coalition of two dozen groups has formed to counter election conspiracy claims in Minnesota because, they say, democracy hangs in the balance. My story: https://t.co/F1ruHjaDE6
