Holocaust denial and other forms of hate have no place in our politics. We stand with those in the Jewish community who are fighting back against extreme candidates, and we encourage all voters to educate themselves on local races and vote against hate: myballotmn.sos.mn.gov/
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas confirmed that the Holocaust denier running for Roseville School Board went to two different synagogues during services around the High Holidays. - wp.me/paAnvm-kcB

Hate has no place in our schools. Thank you to our members as well as advocates from @outfrontmn @GenderJustice @UnidosMN @JCA_MN and other allies for pushing back against extreme school board candidates in MN that want to turn back the clock in our classrooms. #freedomtolearn

🧵
ALT A few weeks ago, President Biden’s administration articulated a compelling vision for combating antisemitism alongside other bigotries. The vision echoes the message Jews For Racial & Economic Justice (JFREJ), the organization I lead, brought to the White House when we were invited to submit our ideas to the task force on antisemitism, Islamophobia and bigotry.

Minnesotans should be at the center of our democracy, not foreign-influenced corporations.
Starting in January, foreign-influenced corporations will not be able to spend money in our elections to either promote or defeat a candidate or ballot measure.

"The meaning of our Constitution is found not in any law volume, but in the spirit of the people who live under it. Every business owner in America has a choice whether to live out the values in the Constitution."

We’re incredibly disappointed that this year’s path towards rent stabilization ended with today’s vote, especially with the way the vote happened.
Read our full statement: hometostaympls.com/press/sta…
By taking a vote on rent stabilization today (on Eid), elected officials failed to recognize the religious practices of both their colleagues and constituents. It set up a terrible "choice" between exercising democracy and our rights to religious freedom.

In Jewish tradition, the yahrtzeit marks the anniversary date of a person's death. The yahrzeit of #Roe expands on this custom to include all those impacted by the reversal, upholding abortion rights as an American issue of life, freedom and dignity. - tcjewfolk.com/?p=76149

A year ago today, we launched We Choose Us, a movement for multiracial democracy in Minnesota.
In the past year, we have talked with people across the state about what it means to protect and expand our democracy.
Thanks to everyone who helped make all our big wins possible!
