Here’s a list of some of what they’ve accomplished in the State of Minnesota over this session:

  • 20-weeks of paid family and medical leave for every worker
  • school meals for all public and charter school students
  • legalization of marijuana for recreational use
  • made state law codifying Roe v. Wade
  • legal protections for transgender youths who receive gender-affirming care
  • set minimum wage for Uber and Lyft drivers

The party’s achievements in Minnesota, said pro-workers’ rights media organization More Perfect Union, should “set the precedent for state governments across the country.”
