Advocates! We need you! Take action with us with a Twitterstorm on Tuesday, 2/18/20, from 11 am - 12 pm. Find more details below.
WHAT IS A TWITTERSTORM?
A Twitterstorm is simply a short period of time during which advocates join together to send a high volume of tweets on a specific topic. We will prepare tweets for you (found below) and you can copy and paste them throughout the hour, or schedule your tweets in advance. You can also create your own tweets and use the hashtags below to keep us together. Please retweet and “favorite” tweets as they are sent out, even if they are tweets you’ve posted already!
GOAL

We'll do this by:
- Favoriting, retweeting, and posting the prepared tweets for the full hour
- Using LAWMAKER in our tweets
- Using the following hashtags in your tweets: #Homes4AllMN; #mnleg; #Bonds4Housing; @PaulGazelka; @SusanKentman; @MelissaHortman; @KDaudt

- More than half a million Minnesota families pay more than they can afford for homes, and that number is continuing to grow. We need #Bonds4Housing #Homes4AllMN #mnleg @PaulGazelka @SusanKentMN @MelissaHortman @KDaudt
- Safe and secure public housing is an essential part of the housing continuum. #Bonds4Housing will allow us to repair and modernize Minnesota’s public housing so residents can live safely and with dignity. #Homes4AllMN #mnleg @PaulGazelka @SusanKentMN @MelissaHortman @KDaudt
- Housing is a social justice issue. The 2018 Wilder survey found that African Americans, American Indians & LGBTQ youth are especially over-represented in MN's homeless population. We need #Bonds4Housing so ALL Minnesotans have access to affordable housing. #Homes4AllMN #mnleg @PaulGazelka @SusanKentMN @MelissaHortman @KDaudt
- Housing is a workers’ rights issue. Almost a third of Minnesotans experiencing homelessness are employed, and 13% work full-time. We need affordable housing to support Minnesota’s working families. #mnleg #Bonds4Housing #Homes4AllMN
