Now, more than ever, we must imagine a new democracy. We’re imagining and building a future where our grief is transformed into profound collective action, and where each of us is ready to find a place in the movement to save each other instead of waiting for a politician or court to do it for us. When we act collectively, we have so much power.

In Hennepin County, our primary elections give us a choice: we can elect status-quo politicians, or we can vote for bold, progressive leaders with the political courage this moment calls for. TakeAction Minnesota’s member-led political committee has endorsed two progressive champions running in competitive primaries in our district.
To parents, students, and educators across the state who have been struggling to juggle it all throughout the pandemic: we see you. We’re diving into school board races because of what’s at stake, but also because we know we can be powerful together.
Our solidarity in this moment is critical to protecting reproductive freedom – and we’re clear that this SCOTUS decision is about so much more than abortion access. Overturning Roe threatens the precedent that protects our constitutional human rights, from marriage equality and interracial marriage to trans rights and access to birth control. The implications of this ruling are far-reaching, and we all have a stake in what happens next.
With the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade any day, we’re staying grounded in the knowledge that abortion will remain legal in Minnesota; that we can amplify and support the decades-long work of abortion funds, freedom fighters, and reproductive justice champions; and that our liberation is bound together. Collectively, we have the power to care for each other and overcome this moment.
We at TakeAction Minnesota are excited to endorse a slate of candidates who are running in competitive primaries. These races give us a chance to look deeper at how our political system is or is not serving us. We’ve been talking about how ‘Not Just Any Blue Will Do.’ That choice is always starkest when we’re looking at two candidates from the same party.
At TakeAction Minnesota, we believe in a politics that is by and for the people. It’s a politics where we care for each other, protect our climate, and support bold leaders operating with the political courage and moral clarity we need to create the future we deserve.
