Outreach & Inclusion is Our Mission
Stonewall DFL represents the DFL in the LGBTQ community and represents the LGBTQ community in the DFL.
As the official LGBTQ outreach arm of the DFL, we participate in Pride and other events in every corner of the state – educating and registering voters, promoting our endorsed candidates, and creating a pipeline for LGBTQ people to get involved in the DFL Party.
We remind the Party of – and help it fulfill – its obligations of outreach and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.

Belong to Something Greater!
Stonewall DFL members have voting privileges at all membership meetings and committee meetings; this includes voting for candidate endorsements.
The entire membership generally meets once or twice a year, electing the board of directors which meets monthly. Members are encouraged to be active with our six standing committees which meet with varying schedules. All meetings are public and guests are welcome.
Electing Champions for our Community
Stonewall DFL works for a safe and equitable Minnesota by endorsing and electing LGBTQ and allied candidates for public office in and in the Minnesota DFL Party. Our endorsements are important to many Minnesotans who seek our advice choosing candidates that will champion issues impacting the LGBTQ community.

“I am honored to be endorsed by stonewall and proud to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community in Ward 7. I believe our communities deserve leaders that protect and serve all people and act as allies for them.” - Katie Cashman
We ask delegates to support Councilmember Cashman at their Ward Convention this weekend and encourage DFLers to support her campaign.
We encourage delegates to the Ward 3 Convention on Saturday to show up and support Emilio. They are an outstanding leader who will carry our values to City Hall.
"I’m running for City Council because I believe local government should be a place where every resident—especially our LGBTQIA+ neighbors—feels safe and supported. As federal threats grow louder, the work we do in our own backyard becomes even more important. I’m committed to passing policies that protect 2SLGBTQIA+ rights and partnering with community leaders to make sure Minneapolis remains a place of belonging for everyone." - Jamison Whiting
We encourage delegates to support Jamison at the Ward 11 convention later in May, and ask DFLers to support his campaign.
