If you'd like to support the families impacted by the fires in Maui, consider donating to Maui Economic Opportunity (MEO), the local #CommunityAction Agency on the ground in Maui. Thank you for all you are doing, MEO!

@kjcfalcon you could stay up and watch the #GASEN results!

[Planned Parenthood North Dakota Advocate @ppNoDak]

YES! Huge congratulations to @Hamida4ndhouse for being elected to House District 10! Thank you for committing to protect reproductive freedom for all North Dakotans.

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

[Liz Kuoppala @kuoppala]

We can afford to end homelessness; we can’t afford not to. Providing supportive housing and basic human services costs far less than the costs of having so many of our neighbors struggle while living without food and homes. #mnleg @Homes4AllMN @MNHomelessCo

[Rhonda Otteson @RhondaOtteson]

While the needs span the state, local solutions are essential. Local providers have deep knowledge of community resources and are able to help ppl navigate systems, access shelter, find a home and connect to services. #mnleg @melissahortman @jeremyrmiller #homes4allmn

[Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative @BelieveInHome]

Ensuring all people have a home reflects our deepest values. As people. As faith traditions. As communities. And as a state.

#Minnesota is best when we invest in the dignity and stability of #home. We can't settle for anything less!

[The Arc Minnesota @thearcminnesota]

People with disabilities need access to safe, accessible affordable housing. We also bring the perspective of the disability community to #Homes4AllMN and believe in expanding the coalition supporting housing needs.

[MSSA (Minnesota Social Service Association) @MNSOCIALSERVICE]

MSSA members know access to housing affects everything, and homelessness is a crisis in MN. Housing is a mental health, racial & economic justice, & LGBTQ+ issue. Minnesotans cannot thrive without safe, stable housing. #Homes4AllMN #mnleg

[Avivo @AvivoMN]

We believe everyone deserves to live well and work well, and without a home that's impossible. Imagine trying to reach recovery or find work when you don't know where you'll be sleeping night to night, and can't keep your belongings safe. #mnleg #homes4allmn

[Liz Kuoppala @kuoppala]

#Bonds4Housing help close the gap in rural Minnesota between the cost of building affordable housing and what the market can afford. Housing stability means kids do better at school and workers do better at work. Let's get this done #mnleg

[Homes for All Minnesota @Homes4AllMN]

General Obligation (GO) Bonds preserve public housing, and Housing Infrastructure Bonds (HIB) support affordable multifamily and single-family housing. How would #Bonds4Housing make a difference in your community?

[Liz Kuoppala @kuoppala]

Folks are struggling, landlords need to be paid, the state has a surplus. Let's invest in families and in communities with Emergency Rental Assistance! #Homes4AllMN

[Homes for All Minnesota @Homes4AllMN]

Thanks so much for joining us today for a Tweetchat for this #mnleg session! Be sure to quote retweet us with your answers and like each others' responses!

Our first question today: Why do you advocate for Emergency Rental Assistance this session?

[Ryan Mac 🙃 @RMac18]

The father of an escaping Ukrainian family that was killed said he found out his wife and two children were dead by seeing the now famous picture on Twitter.

Of the photo, he told @AndrewKramerNYT: "The whole world should know what is happening here."

If you are reading and sharing news about Ukraine, you are the resistance 🇺🇦

[Alina Leonova @AlinaLeonovaSF]

I'm Belarusian. Seeing more and more hate against Belarusians as a result of Lukashenko's participation in Putin's atrocious war against Ukraine, I have a few things to say.

[Natalia Antonova 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @NataliaAntonova]

History will remember Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech.

My heart aches, but I am proud of him right now. #StandWithUkraine

[Max Fras @maxfras]

Zelensky's live address to the Russian people is as amazing as it is heartbreaking

[Minnesota Council of Nonprofits @MNnonprofits]

Did you know...44% of nonprofits are still seeing an increase in demand for services, but 47% can only operate for 12 months or less before financial distress, according to @SmartNonprofits's fifth COVID report? This is not sustainable. MN needs #Relief4Nonprofits.
