2025 challenged our democracy in new ways, but Minnesotans came together across age, class, and region to defend their freedoms. At We Choose Us, we’re building a future where people, not billionaires or corporations, decide our democracy.

Billionaires, big corporations, and the politicians they bankroll are rigging the rules for themselves.

The wealthy few are capturing our democracy and drowning out our voices.

We know a better path: a Minnesota where people, not corporations, shape our future.
We are seeing what happens when public service becomes a vehicle for private plunder. Fixing it will require sustained citizen engagement.

When the DOJ tried to force Minnesota to turn over private voter data, SOS Steve Simon pushed back. Because in a healthy democracy, your personal information shouldn’t be weaponized or used to intimidate voters.

Protecting voter data is protecting your voice.

While corporations get tax break after tax break from the White House, Minnesotans fight every day for a say.

No matter what we look like or where we come from, we all deserve to have a seat at the table. But billionaires and big corporations and the politicians they bankroll are working around the clock to take that away from us. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Engaging with our democracy at every level isn’t just a civic duty, it’s how we protect our present and shape a better future for everyone.

When neighbors organize, advocate, and collaborate with decision-makers, we make our communities more fair, representative, and resilient.

Rep. Grijalva is a story that hits close to home in Minnesota. We watched something similar unfold when Rep. Brad Tabke was kept from being sworn in for months. In both cases, voters did their part—but political games kept them from having full representation. youtu.be/1EhEeqOu8Ts?...

Our democracy only works when every vote counts. No matter your age, race, or income, you have the right to vote. With the federal Voting Rights Act under attack, protecting state laws like Minnesota’s is more vital than ever.
Some Republicans across the south are preparing to redraw their congressional maps to boot Democrats out of office — if the Supreme Court issues a ruling on a case gutting the Voting Rights Act in time for the midterms.

An end to the Voting Rights Act would free up Southern states to dramatically overhaul their congressional map.

What we’re seeing in Washington has happened in Minnesota.

Refusing to seat Rep. Grijalva mirrors tactics used to undermine Rep. Tabke’s win here at home. The message is the same: if they don’t like the result, they try to erase it.

Kids who grow up hungry are far less likely to believe in a system that failed them. If we want a healthy democracy tomorrow, we must nourish our kids today.

In Minnesota, we believe democracy works best when everyone has a seat at the table. The MNVRA protects our freedom to vote so we can make our voices heard — no matter what we look like, where we come from, or what’s in our wallet.

When politicians put power over people, Minnesotans pay the price. That’s why, as our Campaign Director Lilly Sasse of We Choose Us writes, we’re ready to draw the line and build a stronger democracy together.
