UnRestricted and UnStoppable
2023-06-08 17:30 - 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Minneapolis Cider Company
As Roe v Wade fell and attacks on reproductive freedom raged across the US, Minnesota stood up, fought back, and put our state on a clear path toward realizing a brighter, fairer, safer, more equitable, and more expansive vision for reproductive rights, justice, and health care access.
None of this would have happened without every single person and organization who came together to play their crucial part in the process.

There’s plenty more to do, and we’re just getting started — but now it’s time to celebrate.
Please join us on Thursday, June 8 for UnRestricted and UnStoppable — a big, exuberant party appreciating, honoring, and expressing our tremendous gratitude for the unshakeable, unbreakable, unstoppable coalition of advocates, activists, lawmakers, and proud Minnesotans from across the state and all walks of life who have made all this progress possible.
WHEN: Thursday, June 8 at 5:30 – 7:30 pm
WHERE: The Haralson Room at Minneapolis Cider Company
COST: $25 a ticket (with free tickets available for anyone for whom cost is a barrier)
RSVP: https://unrestrictmn.org/party/

HOW LOVE WON - 10 YEARS LATER
2023-06-07 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | The Main Cinema, 115 SE Main St, Minneapolis, MN, 55414, United States
Wednesday, June 7 at 7:00 PM
Join us for a special screening and conversation to mark 10 years since Minnesota legalized same-sex marriage. The 2016 MSPIFF Audience Award-winning How Love Won: The Fight for Marriage Equality in Minnesota traces the unlikely victories for same-sex marriage supporters in Minnesota.
The conversation following the film will include panelists former Minnesotans United for All Families Campaign Manager Richard Carlbom, OutFront Minnesota Executive Director Kat Rohn, and filmmaker Michael McIntee. Discussion will include what has changed and what has not—including increasing violence and harmful rhetoric targeting trans people.
ABOUT THE FILM
How Love Won is an inside look at how LGBTQ+ activists in Minnesota won over people on a very divisive issue: gay marriage. How Love Won has become the playbook for how to actually talk about tough political issues. At the core of the movie are conversations people had about gay marriage — conversations that enable understanding and disarm hate. The film documents how Minnesota was a historic tipping point in the fight for marriage equality.
