We are in the fight of our lives to save our literal freedoms and half the country can’t be bothered.
It’s hard to blame them for tuning out politics, but the only way we have a chance to win is to get them off the sidelines.

This is a short-sighted decision that will impact lives and life-saving research across the country, including in Minnesota.
