This is an exciting moment for democracy in Minnesota.

Right now, there is legislation moving through the state legislature that would enact a state-level version of the federal voting rights and pro-democracy legislation we fought so hard for. The Minnesota Democracy For the People bill would protect and strengthen the freedom to vote, amplify the power of Minnesotans by reducing the influence of dark money and corporations in our politics, and ensure that our democracy is fair, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of Minnesotans across the state.

This isn’t just about Minnesota. Here’s what you can do

The National Popular Vote – a measure that would guarantee that the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia is actually the person who wins the election – was just passed in committees in both the state House and Senate and is poised for a floor vote.

This measure is supported by Secretary of State Steve Simon and would rectify the inherently undemocratic Electoral College system that gives enormous influence to a handful of states across the nation.

Urge your state legislatures to PASS the National Popular Vote measure when it comes before them for a full vote! >>
