Governor Walz’s speech highlighted the progressive victories of 2023, from making historic investments in Minnesota’s public schools to fighting climate change and restoring the right to vote for 50,000+ Minnesotans.

Minnesotans are sick and tired of having our rights put under attack. Abortion is essential health care. It is unacceptable that our conservative lawmakers refuse to stand up for reproductive rights. 

Our progressive leaders haven’t wasted a minute of this year’s legislative session. This March, they’ve passed several historic bills, with many more on the agenda. 

The Minnesota House of Representatives just approved landmark legislation to stop large corporations from artificially raising prices to increase their profit margins during times of emergency. 

Most conservatives in the Minnesota Senate and House voted against providing free breakfast and lunch for school students.

The Minnesota Senate just passed landmark legislation to fund universal school meals for Minnesota students! 

NFIB and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce represent big, wealthy corporations that have refused to pay livable wages and paid leave benefits to the majority of their employees, forcing them to choose between taking care of themselves and their families or paying the bills. 

Spoiler: it’s a lot.
