  • The SAVE Act has been reintroduced which would require that our IDs match our birth certificates in order to vote. This bill creates barriers for trans folks and married people (predominantly women) that have changed their names. Supporters of the bill say that each state would develop a process to prove citizenship for those that have changed their names, but it's unclear language and there's concern of no additional funding to support that process.

After having to close our childcare center, we knew that we needed to shift our focus to policy advocacy and take the lead to support women and families in our community. We support legislative actions that make quality child care affordable.

  • This bill was introduced by Sen. Grant Hauschild (Hermantown) and proposes a Great Start Affordability Scholarship Program that would provide childcare scholarships to families making under $175,000. It would allow families not to pay more than 7% of their income for childcare.

People’s rights and freedoms are under attack, from state legislatures to the Supreme Court. We need to do everything we can to protect our families, our friends, our fellow Minnesotans — and ourselves. That’s why we signed onto the Minnesota ERA coalition.
