Remember how Election Night felt, having defeated two harmful amendments and elected a progressive majority to the Capitol? It was amazing. But we also knew we hadn't won anything yet.
And what happened next? You refused to go away. The grassroots movement that started last fall got even stronger, and won a long list of populist achievements in this legislative session. Marriage equality. A new health care exchange that puts people at the center. Ban the Box legislation that takes a step toward closing the racial jobs gap. Fairer taxation that closes corporate tax loopholes and invests in all-day kindergarten and a stronger MinnesotaCare.
Wow. We didn't go away after the election, and we won't go away now that the legislative session is over.
We've got an ambitious plan for the summer to keep the momentum going, and a generous donor has offered to match every online gift, dollar-for-dollar made between now and June 1.
Give to TakeAction Minnesota today so we can start the summer strong.
