While other states are banning books and restricting freedoms, Minnesota is writing a different story.
 
We’re working to put an end to book bans based on ideology – because censorship has no place in our democracy.
 
Happy National School Library Month, Minnesota!

🏳️‍⚧️ It’s #TransDayofVisibility !

Today and every day, we celebrate the resilient and vibrant transgender and non-binary communities!

Together, let’s continue building a state where trans and non-binary Minnesotans can live with dignity, free from discrimination. #TDOV #TDOV 2024

To our Trans neighbors and loves ones across Minnesota: We see you, hear you, value you, and love you.

LGBTQ+ inclusion is good for communities, and it’s good for business.

We urge Best Buy to stand on the right side of history in charting a path forward that reflects our Minnesota values of welcome and inclusion.

Happy Trans Day of VIsbility. Amazing trans people living their best lives. Reminding everyone to be yourself and be seen whether that means wear the dress, get the tattoo, cut the bangs, try on a new pronoun or transition. So many faces of beautiful today!!

We’ve made Minnesota a more welcoming place for all by banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit youth.

And we’ve put new protections for trans adults in place – because every Minnesotan deserves to live as their full, authentic selves.

Hope to see you tomorrow! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

In Minnesota, we're not in the business of stifling First Amendment freedoms. That’s not what Minnesotans do – and that's not what Americans do.    
 
We’re working to put an end to book bans based on ideology.

Shout out to Minnesota State Rep. Finke for authoring legislation to protect Minnesotans from being targeted for displaying support for the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a no brainer: Pride flags are here to stay. mprnews.org/story/2024/03/…

At a time when thousands of book titles are being banned across the country, Minnesota is making sure books remain accessible to teach and inspire the next generation of readers.

In Minnesota, we don’t believe in banning books in our schools.
 
Instead, we’re focused on making sure every student is fed and educators have the resources they need to succeed.
