We stand with the Minnesota Building Families Association in deep disappointment and frustration that the Minnesota Building Families Act did not pass in the Senate this weekend, bringing an end to this bill’s historic momentum for the current legislative session. Minnesota advocates worked tirelessly this year in pursuit of meaningful, inclusive, and impactful access to care for people who want to build their family. Their dedication, persistence, and courage have not gone unnoticed.
To those advocates - we see you, and we thank you. Your efforts deserve recognition, respect, and celebration.
To the fearless leaders of the Minnesota Building Families Association - Julie Berman, Meta Getman, and Miraya Gran - your five years of unwavering commitment have made you trusted experts and powerful advocates for family building access in Minnesota. Your leadership and persistence have brought this issue closer than ever to the finish line.
We know the weight of showing up year after year for a cause that matters so deeply. Please know that you are not alone. We will continue to stand with you, fight alongside you, and support you until every family in Minnesota has access to the care, they need to build the family they dream of.
Please join Julie, Meta and Miraya for a Town Hall about this year’s efforts. Thursday, May 21st at 7:00 PM on Zoom. Register here and please submit any questions you have: forms.gle/DBKzAniBvfpEn8ZW6
