Saint Paul, MN - On September 16, the newly formed Minnesota Abortion Action Coalition (MNAAC) held its second action outside of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s residence. MNAAC demanded that state officials put an end to state funding for crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) and other manipulative, anti-abortion organizations throughout the state.

Students at the University of Minnesota are demanding changes to policing on campus.
On Friday, organizers from the group Students For a Democratic Society held a rally on U of M President Joan Gabel s home lawn. We re here and we re going to continue to fight until we get our demands met, said Jalisa Sang, a freshman at the University of Minnesota.
These students are demanding Gabel take action against the U of M Police Department. The presence of police there just makes me feel unsafe and uneasy, Sang said.
Students have a handful of demands including the creation of a CPAC, or a Civilian Police Accountability Council, which would include students and community members.
