TakeAction Minnesota endorses Keith Ellison (D) for MN AG [View all]


We’ve had more discussions about gender justice with Keith Ellison than any other elected official in the state of Minnesota. Over the past three months, Keith showed up, listened, and went down this powerful path with us. When many people would have retreated, Keith opened up and earned our trust and respect through his brave, vulnerable leadership.

Keith embodies the kind of co-governing relationship we believe in at TakeAction Minnesota and our journey with him will continue.

...The future we believe in and the future we imagine won’t happen if we sit this race out. It won’t happen if we stay silent. We want to have hard conversations like we had with Keith when serious issues come up. We don’t believe anyone in our society is disposable, or that we can dismantle the patriarchy and end gender oppression by terminating people from their positions. That’s got to happen through honest, trusting, and powerful relationships, dialogue, and cultural and systemic change.

..The future we’re fighting for won’t happen if a key statewide office is held by Keith’s opponent—someone who has stood against workers’ rights, reproductive justice, immigrant rights, transgender students, the Affordable Care Act, marriage equality, voting rights, and more.
