Bright Hope - Jun. 21, 2023
June 21, 2023
BLUNT ROCHESTER: Bright hope. it's more than a place where I worshiped with my grandmother It's the spirit of resilience that's always lifted me through good times and bad.

Wolves - Dec. 5, 2023
December 5, 2023
CHRISTIANSEN: When I was a little girl, a wolf hunted our family farm. It wasn't content to pick off a chicken or the family dog, it wanted the whole farm. My father found work but the wolves found him. My parents always thought they'd catch a break, but they never did. The wolves came for Mom-and-Pop stores, they came for cheap prescription medicine, they came for affordable homes, they came for college loans. Forget inflation, wages never kept up with corporate greed. So I went to school and scholarship. I […]

Ilhan Omar: As organizers we know the most important things are that you have to build trust with people and that you have to organize from a place of love. We organize from a place of love because we want our communities to get what they deserve. We want to organize from a place of love because we believe that compassion, and empathy, and courage are contangious.

Leader (Ilhan for Congress campaign ad)
July 31, 2020
Announcer: When Donald Trump attacked, Minnesotans had a leader in Washington who stood up for our community and never backed down. In her first term in Congress, Ilhan passed bipartisan legislation to curb gun violence. When the pandemic hit, she passed the MEALS Act to guarantee school lunches for our kids. And Ilhan is leading the fight for progressive priorities: like Medicare for all. So let's send our Congresswoman back to Washington, by August 11th vote for Ilhan Omar.

Meaningful Change -- July 23, 2020
July 23, 2020
Ilhan Omar: Our systems are at a breaking point. A broken health care system unable to adequately address a public health pandemic, that has now killed over 130,000 people, including my father. A broken economic system that has led to 40 million people loosing their jobs, and businesses shuting down throughout our district. A broken housing system that's left many Minnesotans displaced, or housing insecure. A broken justice system that has victumized black and brown Minnesotans in policing, in our judiciary systems, and in our prisons. For too long, corporate […]

I will Never Stop Fighting For You -- July 20, 2020
July 20, 2020
Ilhan Omar: Hello Minnesota, I wish I could be there in person with you, but Congress was called into session this week for votes. This week I get to vote on the no ban act: a bill I led to place Donald Trump's "Muslim Ban" in the dustbin of history where it belongs. You sent me to Congress in 2018 to fight for you because you knew you needed an organizer, an advocate, and a policy maker; someone who will fight for paid leave so mothers don't have to worry […]

The America We Deserve - Ilhan Omar for Congress -- July 31, 2018
Isra Omar: This country says it was founded on fundamental values of justice, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But these core beliefs are under threat: We're spending more money incarcerating people than educating them, mass shootings continue to terrorize the nation, a wealthy few profit off the destruction of our environment, and children are being caged and seperated from their families. These systems of oppression were built by people, they persist because Congress doesn't have the moral clarity and courage to fight and defend our democracy. Ultimately, they've proven […]
