Last Friday, I was thrilled to help deliver more than 20,000 Yes 4 Minneapolis petition signatures to the Minneapolis City Clerk. This is a major step in our work to create a public safety system that is all-inclusive, where everyone has healthy food to eat, a warm bed, and a roof over their head; and where everyone feels safe in our schools, our homes, our communities, and our lives.

(ST. PAUL, MN)–Today, TakeAction Minnesota unveiled a billboard near the State Capitol, visible to commuters heading north on 35E heading north, to urge state lawmakers to pass a Prescription Drug Affordability Board this session.
“Minnesota families should not have to choose between paying for food and housing or paying for medicine they need to stay alive,” said TakeAction leader Carol White. “State Senators must listen to their constituents. Price-gouging of prescription drugs hurts all of us. Families are hurting.”

At TakeAction Minnesota we believe in a future where each and every person is free to live in joy. We believe in just, caring communities where we can all be free. And we believe that to reach those goals, it takes a multiracial commitment to defend Black lives and build a brighter future for all of us because we know our liberation is tied together.
Actions taken by the legislature alone will not achieve that future, but legislative action is a prerequisite to meaningful change.
That is why we support the House Public Safety Bill.
The movement for Black lives—for just, caring communities where we can all be free—exists far and wide beyond the walls of a courtroom. It is in all of us. In our communities, our streets, and our acts of care. It
