Take Action
Policies are about people. If we want Minnesota to be a state where everyone can thrive, regardless of race, income, or where they live, we need bold and just policies. It is more important than ever that policymakers hear from everyday Minnesotans and the organizations that serve them to create a stronger, more equitable state.
Get involved by adding your voice on issues impacting our families, children, communities, and you.
For organizations
From the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits:
Minnesota nonprofits and many more organizations receiving federal funding were faced with an immediate freeze of federal grants and loans, due to a memo issued by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Monday, January 27.
UPDATE (1/29/25): The OMB memo freezing all federal grants and loans, has been rescinded.
While this is good news, it will likely be short-lived as further actions may have a similar effect on nonprofit and the communities we serve.

Minnesotans’ health and well-being is at great risk from federal proposals to drastically cut funding for Medicaid (called Medical Assistance (MA) in Minnesota). These proposals would put the health care of hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans at risk. Â
Your voice is needed NOW. Congress is starting the debate on these cuts this week in Washington, D.C.
