CW: violence/death involving elected officials.

Tonight, a suspect is in custody in the wake of horrific acts of violence targeting lawmakers over the weekend.
This post contains mentions of violence/death. Tonight, a suspect is in custody in the wake of horrific acts of violence targeting lawmakers over the weekend. Our communities join all Minnesotans in mourning the loss of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark; and we hold in our care Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they continue their recoveries along with all of their loved ones. Speaker Emerita Hortman was a respected leader, an ally to our communities, and will be dearly missed. OutFront Minnesota condemns these acts in the strongest of terms - violence has no place in our political process or civic life. Our communities know the impact of these actions all too well, only a few weeks ago we honored Harvey Milk's birthday. His assassination along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone in 1978 is forever part of our history. While we await specific details from this investigation, we know that politically motivated threats of violence towards elected officials, healthcare providers, and civic institutions & organizations are all too prevalent. We understand that many other elected officials along with reproductive healthcare providers were among others named as targets. We hope this arrest brings a measure of relief. Acts of violence like these can affect all of us and we encourage those who might need them to seek out supportive resources. We stand with all those affected by these and other threats of harm. We call on our communities and all those across Minnesota to stand together in this moment, to reject violence, and to look out for one another and for those who serve our communities.

Today, Minnesotans showed up.

HF 12 - a bill seeking to limit the full participation of trans kids in sports - failed to secure the 68 votes needed and did not pass in the Minnesota House.

It’s a win for all of us who believe in inclusion!

Thank you to everyone who showed up today!

A president has the power to set policies; but no politician has the power to define our inherent dignity, worth, and humanity.

OutFront Minnesota stands with all communities impacted by today’s orders.

We are not going anywhere.

We’ve got this.

We’ve got us.

Everyone deserves the chance to play.

Urge your representatives to vote NO on HR 28 / S 9.

outfront.org/take-action
FEDERAL ACTION ALERT H.R. 28 / S. 9 Urge Your Representatives to vote NO on H.R. 28 / S. 9 WHAT IT DOES: This bill is effectively a ban on the full participation of athletes. HOW: By changing Title IX-which impacts all receipients of federal education funding (K-12 and collegiate) "Inclusion is the right thing to do, and in Minnesota, it's the law. The connection, participation, community, and acceptance found in athletics are important to youth; no matter how they identify. We believe all students should continue to have the opportunity to compete and play." OUTFRONT MINNESOTA ›>TAKE ACTION Head to OUTFRONT.ORG/TAKE-ACTION to contact your Representative and Senators and urge them to vote NO on H.R. 28 / S. 9. Everyone should have the chance to play.
