Friday
1. Children Belong with Their Families
Today, multiple groups will be banding together to demand the Trump administration end the practice of separating children from their families at U.S. borders, and ensure the safety and well-being of all children with no exceptions. To support this movement, call your members of Congress today and thell them to protect children, end intentional family separation and stop human rights abuses in the name of immigration reform. Demand that Congress stop funding the agencies that are infringing on children and their families’ human rights. Use your social media platform and tag your representatives as well.

Call you members of Congress and ask them what actions they plan to take to end gun violence. Inaction on their part means you will vote them out in November.
3. Food Donation Act of 2018
This bill would expand civil and liability protections for the donation of apparently fit grocery products to food banks and people in need. Instead of being thrown away, food that is imperfect but still good to eat can be put to good use. This bipartisan bill seems like one we can all support.

4. Time to Get to Work!
Minnesota’s state conventions are happening this weekend. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to volunteer to help a worthy Minnesota candidate win in November. Rest assured, we all need to pitch in if we want to see positive change happen in our government. Virginia is a great example of this. Just months after a blue wave changed the face of Virginia’ s General Assembly, the VA Senate voted to expand Medicaid for 400,000 Virginians. https://www.washingtonpost.com/…/5df5e304-640d-11e8-a768-ed…

Do you hate what Trump is doing to America? The best way to check his behavior is to vote in Democrats in the fall. We have got to get people motivated to vote. https://www.nytimes.com/…/opi…/midterms-trump-democrats.html
We’re right around the corner from another set of special elections – and we’ve got the chance to help roll back some of the damage Scott Walker has done to Wisconsin from home. On June 12, the two seats Walker tried to avoid calling special elections for are up.

Want to know the best way to get out the vote? It’s canvassing. Nothing beats face to face interaction with voters. Put on your walking shoes and join a local campaign in some lively door knocking. If we all do a little we can make a big difference. What we do in the next 5 months will affect our lives for years to come.
