2022 Midterm Elections

There is so much at stake this November!

Our freedom to choose when and if to become a parent or grow our families is under attack.

And the differences between the candidates and the parties couldn’t be starker - on climate action, public education, racial justice, public safety, trans rights, and even the integrity of our elections.  

Here’s what you can do to help protect reproductive freedom and get progressive candidates elected this November. It will take all of us:


 
 

Unity

Principles

We believe that women’s rights are human rights. We must create a society in which women — including Black, Native, disabled, those living in poverty, immigrant, Muslim, Jewish, and queer and trans women — are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from barriers.Our goal at Women's March Minnesota is to know when to listen and when to lead. As a women's organization dedicated to intersectional feminism, and protecting the rights of Minnesota women, we work to raise the voices of the strong, dedicated groups doing important social justice, human rights and equality work in Minnesota. GET INVOLVED TODAY!

 

Civil Rights

We believe civil rights are our birthright, including voting rights, freedom to worship without fear of intimidation or harassment, freedom of speech and protections for all citizens regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion or ability. We believe it is time for an all-inclusive Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

 

 

Environmental Justice

We believe that every person and every community in our nation has the right to clean water, clean air, and access to and enjoyment of public lands. We believe that our environment and our climate must be protected, and that our land and natural resources cannot be exploited for corporate gain or greed—especially at the risk of public safety and health.

 

 

LGBTQIA COMMITTEE

We firmly declare that LGBTQIA Rights are Human Rights and that it is our obligation to uplift, expand and protect the rights of our gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans or gender non-conforming brothers, sisters and siblings. We must have the power to control our bodies and be free from gender norms, expectations and stereotypes.

 

 

REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE

We believe in reproductive freedom. We do not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. 

Ending Violence

Women deserve to live full and healthy lives, free of all forms of violence against our bodies. We believe in accountability and justice in cases of police brutality and ending racial profiling and targeting of communities of color. It is our moral imperative to dismantle the gender and racial inequities within the criminal justice system.

 

 

Immigrant & Refugee Rights

Rooted in the promise of America’s call for huddled masses yearning to breathe free, we believe in immigrant and refugee rights regardless of status or country of origin. We believe migration is a human right and that no human being is illegal.

 

 

RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

We believe that all women’s issues are issues faced by women with disabilities and deaf women. As mothers, sisters, daughters, and contributing members of this great nation, we seek to break barriers to access, inclusion, independence, and the full enjoyment of citizenship at home and around the world. We strive to be fully included in and contribute to all aspects of American life, economy, and culture. 

 

 

WORKERS' RIGHTS

We believe in an economy powered by transparency, accountability, security and equity. All women should be paid equitably, with access to affordable childcare, sick days, healthcare, paid family leave, and healthy work environments. All workers—including domestic and farm workers, undocumented and migrant workers—must have the right to organize and fight for a living minimum wage.

Who you should know and support

Who You Should Know and Support

One of our guiding principles within Women's March Minnesota is to know when to listen and when to lead. As a women's organization dedicated to Inter-sectional feminism, and protecting the rights of Minnesota women, we work to raise the voices of the strong, dedicated groups doing important social justice, human rights and equality work in Minnesota.

In the spirit of Coretta Scott King, we believe that you cannot stand for freedom for one group and deny it to others. Personal prejudice and systemic discrimination are pervasive in America and lead to the marginalization of many people, including women, people of color, American Indian and Alaskan Natives, LGBTQIA individuals, immigrants, religious minorities and people with disabilities. We stand for the rights of marginalized communities, for just and equitable systems, and for the freedom of all peoples who make up our diverse nation.

We know that Minnesota is not immune from discrimination or disparities and vow to work toward more inclusive, equitable communities. #OurCollaborations
