I’m 31 years old, have a kid on the way and am looking to sell my house. Property tax increases over the last 5 years have made owning a home unaffordable. Adding a kid on top of that, my hands were forced. Getting rid of fraud and abuse is the only way to lower costs for Minnesotans. Adding money to an affordability issue only creates more unaffordability issues. Something needs to be done.
Jordan supported: Demand Governor Tim Walz Admin Resign in MinnesotaI’m a tax paying Minnesotan. I have a child on the spectrum and have been pushed back on waitlist after waitlist and now finding out they used that system to make all this happen enrages me.
Cory supported: Demand Governor Tim Walz Admin Resign in MinnesotaAs a young adult and small business owner- I am so sad to see the state and cities I once loved so much absolutely crumble and divide. No dream is possible anymore.
Alicia supported: Demand Governor Tim Walz Admin Resign in MinnesotaThis feels like a law that was made without actually considering whether it would help students or not. We’ve been begging for resources and support for years, and instead were met with a phone ban. You can’t repeatedly ask students want they need, blatantly ignore them, and then think your solution will solve everything.
Kelsi supported: End the Alabama School Phone BanI use music to help me focus, without it I always have bad and stressful days . Also I've had situations where I was stranded in a bathroom where if I didn't have my phone I would have been stuck. I also have severe anxiety and depression so having something to calm me or being able to text friends after a test is always helpful. So I think that the phone ban will do more harm than good.
Shelley supported: End the Alabama School Phone BanHi there! I’m Madison, and I’m a senior, a daughter, a student, and a young woman navigating a world that often feels a bit unsafe. When Alabama implemented the FOCUS Act and banned phones in schools, I didn't feel more focused; I actually felt more vulnerable. As a girl, I already tend to be more cautious and aware of my surroundings. Now, I’m expected to go through my school day without the one thing that provided me comfort, connection, and a sense of safety.
My phone is my link to my paralyzed mom, helps calm my anxiety, and lets me reach out to my family or call for help if I ever need it. It’s not just about losing a device; it’s about losing our peace of mind. We’re not looking to scroll through TikTok during class; we just want to feel seen, heard, and protected. Thanks for understanding!
