There are so many reasons to fight -- some we fight for, others we fight against.

What is your protest purpose?

Handmaids of MN stood up for women and reproductive rights today at the Life Chain in St Michael. Women are not incubators, abortion is healthcare, and all people should have the power to choose what is right for their own bodies.

Big thank you to the folks in Mora, MN for standing up in a very red town and for welcoming us to stand beside them! We met several new friends, ran into an old friend, and are looking forward to attending their future actions.

Yesterday, your Handmaids of MN stood against TPUSA, against hate, against misogyny, against xenophobia, against homophobia, against bigotry. We stood up for those whose voices are regularly silenced.

We stood up for you.

We're horrified @ the violence perpetrated by a gunman this morning at a church/school in S. Minneapolis. These victims, mostly children, have our sympathies & support. Supporting them means fighting for minimizing the availability & the lethality of the weapons used to cause death & destruction.

The Handmaids of MN joined Indivisible 507 Rochester Members and DFLer Angie Hanson in Albert Lea, MN yesterday to protest political corruption and abuse of power.
In cities big and small, all across this country, we need folks to #StandUpFightBack as #DemocracyDefenders. Democracy is a team sport!

The Handmaids of MN continue to show up for YOU! From Rochester to Champlin, St. Louis Park to Robbinsdale, these ladies are standing up and speaking out against authoritarianism, fascism, and the illegal power grab happening in DC.

The American people deserve better.

Today, the Handmaids of MN stood up for democracy in Hastings and in Edina. We know that, to effect change, we must show up rain or shine! Thanks to all our compatriots out there who "walk the walk," even when it's not convenient!

It was our pleasure & our privilege to join the Richfield Indivisible protest today, as we honored the life & loss of a great woman, Santwana Dasgupta, who led the group w/ passion & persistence.
What better way to celebrate her life could there possibly be?

Willow River, MN recently passed (and then rescinded..at least temporarily) an unconstitutional ordinance against protests, demonstrations, and gatherings).

Handmaids of MN fight for the 1st Amendment rights for all -- in towns big and small -- and we show up in defiance of tyranny!

Handmaids of MN spent the day out and about across MN Saturday! From Hastings to Forest Lake, these ladies showed up!
Hastings was a new location for us, but we'll definitely be back and we shared time and space with our Friends of the Handmaids in Forest Lake, a favorite spot for the Handmaids.

From Vandalia Avenue to Lake Street, the Handmaids of MN started off defending Planned Parenthood and ended with protesting Alligator Auschwitz.
It was an eye opening experience watching people shame us for standing for the rights of others.
