DFL Affirmative Action Statement:

 

The goal of affirmative action is to recruit individuals for political activity in the DFL and the Democratic process of our government. The DFL is an active participant in the struggle to end all forms of bigotry and discrimination. As part of our commitment to ending discrimination, we seek to increase the participation of members of those communities that have been traditionally shut out of and/or underrepresented in the political process. As part of this commitment, we will seek to elect members of these communities to positions both within the DFL Party and in public office. These efforts will be directed toward all underrepresented communities.

Stonewall DFL will not sell, lease or trade its contact lists. We respect the privacy concerns of our caucus members and members of the GLBT community. If you would like communication from the Minnesota State DFL or any individual candidate, you must register with them directly. We cannot share our membership information with candidates or 3rd parties.
