House Public Safety Omnibus Bill
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.
