Local Fare
If you are not following Indivisible Minnesota Legislative Action, you should. They are on top of what’s going down in local government; a task I find particularly daunting.

Today at the Capitol there will be hearings on, prohibiting the shameful practice of conversion therapy, restoring voting rights for felons, providing free public transportation on Election Day, Net Neutrality for Minnesota, and establishing standards for sick leave. Pay a visit or contact legislators, especially if your own House member is on the committee.
Governor Walz and Enbridge Line 3
Gov. Walz announced yesterday that his administration will continue the appeal started by Gov. Dayton of Enbridge Energy’s proposal to build an oil pipeline across northern Minnesota. The pipeline’s route would go directly through Ojibwe treaty territory and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan has been working hard to advocate for the people and the land that would be affected.

Read more about it here, https://www.mprnews.org/…/02/12/line-3-pipeline-walz-decisi…, then call and thank Walz and Flanagan if you are so inclined.
Do you live in Minnesota’s second congressional district? There is a lot going on here! MN02’s new congresswoman, Angie Craig is working her buns off for her constituents. It has been such a refreshing change from the last two years. If you would like to follow Rep. Craig, and many other things that are happening in this district, I highly recommend CD2Action (https://cd2action.com). This website is a one-stop shop for everything you need to be in the know. There is good stuff there for everyone, even if you are not lucky enough to call MN02 your home.
Another Government Shutdown?
Congress has until Friday to figure out a funding package before another government shutdown happens. There have been rumors that there is a potential deal on the table. The deal will include $1.375b for border barriers (55 new miles of bollard fencing) and an overall cap on detention beds drops from 49,057 to 40,520. Let’s hope we can get Congress to pass it and Trump to sign it before the talking heads from Fox News convince him to do otherwise.
