Kraft Banner 2023

Dear neighbors,

As a reminder, I will be hosting a virtual town hall on Thursday, October 23rd at 7:00 PM. Between the tumultuous summer filled with senseless gun violence, federal cuts that are raising healthcare costs and eliminating vital services, and a potential Special Session here in Minnesota to take action on gun violence, there’s a lot to discuss. 

Registration is required, and registrants will receive the Zoom link to the event. I hope to see you there!

Extreme Risk Protection Orders Save Lives & How to Access Them

During the 2023 legislative session, we took bold action to protect our communities against gun violence. One of the measures lawmakers enacted allows for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), also known as a “red flag” law. This tool helps prevent tragedies by allowing law enforcement and family members to request court orders temporarily removing firearms from individuals who pose an imminent risk of harming themselves or others.

After more than one year of ERPOs being possible, the evidence is clear: Extreme Risk Protection Orders are protecting Minnesotans from gun violence [ [link removed] ], though we need to improve awareness about them.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office now houses a specialist who can discuss and support family or household members who have concerns that a loved one is a significant risk to themselves or others with a firearm. If you have concerns about a loved one and firearms, please reach out to DASC at 612-348-5073 and ask to speak to an Extreme Risk Protection Order Specialist.
