We recognized the significance of his death to our history and our community. We are thankful for our community. We do our best to honor his memory.

Read MoreMay 14, 2026 marked the 11 months since House Emeritus Speaker Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark were murdered and State Sen John Hoffman & his wife Yvette were injured. MN House Speaker Lisa Demuth was refusing to introduce SF4067, a gun violence prevention bill the Senate has already passed. So, the House DFLers planned a 24-hour sit-in starting 5 pm. The sit-in lasted much longer.
Buoyed by constituents cheering them on outside the House Floor, Legislators (and supporters) spent days asking Demuth to hold the vote. They tried introducing a duplicate bill. They held space.
The gun reform bill vote never happened. Below are videos from the days (and nights) of the sit-in.

Our hearts go out to her family, her community and our community. Our actions over the following days were intended to show respect for Renee and let ICE know that we want them out of Minnesota.
Read MoreWe at Women’s March MN are angry and worried because what we see in mainstream media does not reflect what we have seen in person, livestreams or reported by independent media. It was irritating when they consistently under reported attendance at marches but there’s so much more at stake now. Much of the rest of the world is hearing our collective story through a lens that we know is distorted.
It’s time to contact those media sources and call them out. This is something you can do from home whether you are in Minneapolis, Roseau or around the world.
Read MoreWe have some high level answers to questions from folks who want to get more involved to connect you to efforts that need help:

Want to get involved in more direct action activities with Women’s March MN?
Want to be a hyper-local helper in the Metro area?

Thank you to everyone who attended a No Kings event last weekend. We celebrated with 100,000 attendees in downtown Minneapolis. But we were not alone. To date, we have counted almost 80,000 attendees at other No Kings events in Minnesota. From Albert Lea to Zumbrota, people stood on streets, corner and bridges with amazing signs and a growing community of attendees. At No Kings in June, we celebrated with 80,000 people at the MN State Capitol and 25,000 in other rallies around the state. That means attendance has more that tripled in outside of the Twin Cities march in the last four months.
We have a list of locations and estimated attendance, where available. If you more information to share, please let us know. admin@womensmarchmn.com
