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.
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.

To All DFL Party Leaders, For Immediate Release What Does My Life Mean To You? When I heard the verdict in the Chauvin case announced, I felt I could breathe again.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.I'm sure you have all seen the verdict, and you are overcome with many emotions right now. Nothing will bring back George Floyd, or anyone else who has been killed by police, but we can cry these happy tears that today, some justice has been served.
Attached is the official statement from the Stonewall DFL Board.
Our chair, Alex, wants everyone to remember:
1. You don't need to be out there, but if you decide to congregate, practice safety precautions, and make sure you're connecting with a trusted person.
2. Seek professional support or surround yourself with loved ones.
3. It is not my intent to alarm anyone, but this must be said: if you live or work in a vulnerable area, consider getting a 'go bag' bag of essentials in case quick movement becomes necessary
4. Also, let us not discount the backlash from known supremacist groups in the area
5. Finally, as always, please utilize your own personal self-care skills

One of the things I appreciate about the @StonewallDFL endorsement process is how open, transparent, and thorough it is. Questionnaires & screening interviews are public—not secret or obscure. You can know exactly who was involved in the decision and what they focused on.
