We ask you to contact your legislators to put regulations on (or eliminate) this dangerous organization that is weaponizing $40 MILLION dollars in their political pursuit to end bail. MN Freedom Fund is actively causing harm and death to people in the Twin Cities and MN.

You know how some banks and credit institutions have been shutting down accounts of businesses and organization whose politics or products they don't agree with? i.e. gun manufacturers, alt social media platforms, etc.
How can we use that avenue to impact MN Freedom Fund?
22/
Huh. Seems MN FreeDumb Fund doesn't like being held accountable. They've removed their contact page (pic).
Luckily we saved it previously.

File under: #CantMakeItUp
In Oct. 2021 the chief executive officers at Ecolab (and Securian Financial) wrote to Mayor Melvin Carter b!tching about the crime...
All the while, they were helping fund the bail out of violent criminals.
Kneejerk actions, meet consequences.

Regime #MNmedia runs cover for Minnesota Freedom Fund in wake of @CrimeWatchMpls list of violent and dangerous offenders bailed out by MFF.
And, FYI, MFF absolutely did NOT address their "accountability" for injecting dangerous offenders back into our community.

@MNFreedomFund straight up lied in the recent interview when @WCCO ran cover for them. They stated all the dangerous people were bailed out before the new leadership was installed in April 2021.
Thread numbers 2, 3, 10 and 11 were bailed out after that date.
