42 million people nationwide rely on SNAP for critical food support. Now, thanks to anti-worker extremists in Congress, families are going to go hungry, because the administration is not providing full funding for SNAP. Tell Congress to fund public services. 1-888-981-9704

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost
Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is pursuing a third term, citing his desire to continue pressing back on the Trump administration and making the cost of living more affordable. His entry into the race likely clears the field on the DFL side.
