Women for Political Change

Please read the full statement at womenforpoliticalchange.org/sunset

The Anti-Blackness and ableism within the organization should have never grown to the extent it did and was only exacerbated by the exponential growth WFPC experienced in 2020.

As Women for Political Change sunsets, the organization wants to acknowledge and apologize for the harm caused within the organization and greater community, specifically toward Black WFPC staff and community members.

Thank you for the years marked by reciprocity, support, and kindness. It was an honor to serve you. For further information about the dissolution of Women for Political Change please contact info@womenforpoliticalchange.org

We want to acknowledge the communities across Minnesota who have been a part of our movement– from dedicated staff, board members, volunteers, advocates, committees, and student chapters.

It is with sincere remorse that we write to inform you about the sunsetting of Women for Political Change [WFPC], which will take effect this summer.

Women for Political Change is voting #YesOn2 to #ExpandPublicSafety in Minneapolis!

Earlier this summer, we partnered with Women for Political Change @mnwfpc to help them in their goal of providing gender-affirming care packages for BIPOC trans youth in the Minnesota, MN area!

Tonight we will be hosting a vigil for Deona Marie along side with FSFAPV & Community needs Community. Come down to Lake & Girard tonight at 6pm with flowers & candles 🖤✨

White supremacists are actively targeting and killing grieving members of community and the cops show up to... threaten and arrest grieving members of community? Who is being protected and served again?

Our thoughts and prayers today are with Winston Smith’s family and community. Executing someone for owning a gun in a state thats hostile towards Blackness and also aggressivly advocates for gun ownership is hypocrisy. There’s no peace without abolishing the police. #winstonsmith

The City of Minneapolis finally accomplished what it set out to do on May 25, 2020, finally put George Floyd in confinement behind bars and rebar and concrete.

From my time in George Floyd Square today, I can tell you that the somberness and pain is palpable. The barricades that marked this sacred space were taken down by the City of Minneapolis before the sun rose today. The energy at GFS is resilient but resiliency is exhausting.

To kick-off Pride month, we’ve prepared 50 care packages for BIPOC trans youth in MN. Care packages include an assortment of gender-affirming items, optional binders and gaffs, art pieces, and body care products. Sign up to recieve one or share with a pal: secure.everyaction.com/U3d0Xg-42UefhX…

As we begin to mark the beginning of Pride tomorrow, it's important that the trans origin of Pride be honored. It was Black and Brown transgender women who risked their lives to be seen and respected for living out their truths and the truth of other LGBTQIA+ folks.

Happy People’s Independence Day to those who celebrate 🔥 #AllPowerToThePeople #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #BurnThePrecincts

We’re only $150 away from reaching our goal!!! Donate today and help us make it to the finishing line 🏁 secure.everyaction.com/Pei4cOoHpUGVrZ…
