Today, we honor the Chairman, Fred Hampton.
Fred Hampton was a Black civil rights activist and socialist revolutionary. He was an original member and the chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, and deputy chairman of the national party.
#BlackHistoryMonth
Due to the failure of
@MNUFC
to enact proof of vaccine/negative test requirements, as well as more stringent mask protocols, we will ask our members, and all of the other SG's to join us in a financial boycott at
@allianzfield
until the club puts these policies in place.
Last month we sent 756 books to our incarcerated book club members! Next month we plan to send 800 books!!!! Help us make this happen by purchasing a book from our prison chapter book wishlist 🙏🏾💕
So do we.
@MNUFC
, remaining silent says volumes. Not making a statement makes the statement that you do not support your pregnancy capable fans and their basic human right to control what they do with their bodies.
We are upset & ashamed of the inaction of our club. Do better.
Dear
@MNUFC
admin,
I love you. You’re awesome. You followed me when I was still an MLS Free Agent Fan.
I just wish the team would make a statement saying they’re outraged by the SCOTUS decision. You’d even make a fancy graphic for us.
It’s not you. It’s them.
Cheers,
PA Loon
We stand in solidarity with
@MnufcUnion
, supporting their pursuit of a fair deal. We'll join and back their picket line in any way they decide.
Workers' rights matter. ✊🏻
#Solidarity
#MNUFC
🧵 Today we strike. For 7 months, we have bargained with
@MNUFC
for our first contract. The team has repeatedly stalled and shown no interest in bargaining a fair deal. We feel we have not been take seriously.
Due to the failures of
@MNUFC
to enact proof of vax/neg test requirements, as well as more stringent mask protocols, we will continue to ask our members, and the other MN SG's to join us in a financial boycott at
@allianzfield
until the club puts these policies in place.
Couldn't be with a better group of people at the
@ISCSupporters
conference. We love and respect each and every one of them, and couldn't do what we do without their support.
#ISCABQ
@MNUFC
This is less than the bare minimum. The "honor system" only works if people give a shit, which they don't.
Please enact the policies of many other MLS clubs and require proof of vaccine, or a negative Covid test for those unable to get the vaccine.
Start caring about your fans.
We stand in solidarity with our friends and allies within
@ThePlastics_SG
and
@thebanterpubfc
.
We agree with & will defend their right to use their voices against racism, sexism and fascism, and we condemn those that have attempted to silence them.
1/3 I am proud to have been part of Major League Soccer for 11 seasons. During my time in the league I have received tremendous support and kindness from fellow players and the entire MLS Community.
It's time to actually do something to show the management of the club that their "bare minimum" policy, which shows no regards for the health of the immunocompromised and young fans who enjoy coming to matches, just isn't it.
Enough is enough. Enact these policies today.
We stand in complete solidarity with
@EmpireSC
. The actions of Dante Vanzeir, and the complete inaction from the
@NewYorkRedBulls
organization is absolutely inexcusable.
Racism has no place in our game.
✊🏻
@MNUFC
If you won't listen to your fans, will you at least listen to the MN Dept of Health?
Instituting a negative COVID test/proof of vaccine requirement for entry, and stricter mask protocols for home matches would help stop the spread.
Stop contributing to the spread.
The Minnesota Department of Health says if more COVID-19 mitigation efforts aren’t taken inside schools and at large events, the community spread will get worse.
Now this...
@shari_ballard
Do better. First, you refused to take a stand on reproductive rights and are now actively working to union bust. Do us all a favor, take two weeks off, then quit.
Why does the management of this team hate its workers and its fans?
#ShariOut
#MNUFC
.
@shari_ballard
has retained Littler Mendelson to fight our union drive. They are known for aggressively fighting
@SBWorkersUnited
and
@amazonlabor
. They are the biggest anti union firm in the world.
For a team that claims neutrality, this is aggressively anti union.
We stand with the
@MLSPA
. They've sacrificed the health and well-being of themselves and their families over the past year and the offer they've proposed to the league is fair.

#AllezISC
This is ridiculous.
#MNUFC
, let's follow your timeline over the past 90 days
• Won't recognize that repro rights are human rights
• Actively union busting
• Making "volunteers" work 20+ hrs for a tshirt, a ticket & a parking pass (total cost for y'all, about $15)
Do better.
The most fascinating thing about
@MNUFC
asking for Volunteers to come to 3 mandatory 7hr rehearsals to do on field displays at the
#mlsallstar
match is how they also offer a parking passes to the Volunteers as a "Benefit"
Something
@MnufcUnion
has been requesting for a long time
We stand behind True North Elite, as well as all of the other MNUFC supporter groups in their stance against the banning of the Iron Front symbol. Symbols like these show those from marginalized communities that we support them and welcome them into our spaces.
#AUnitedFront
Congratulations to
@LadiesofSKC
for working so hard to stand up and speak up for what they believe in. We support you and will continue to support you, and other supporters, who stand up to do what is right.
Abusers and enablers have no place on our sport.
#GWOut
The Bucket Hat Brigade is 100% unapologetically pro-choice.
It's time for us to stand up and continue the fight for our members, family and friends who should have the ultimate right to choice and that no government has a right to regulate that choice.
We stand in solidarity with the Ladies of SKC in opposing Gavin Wilkinson's employment with
@SportingKC
, arising from his alleged cover-up of abusive behavior during his time with the Portland Timbers and Thorns.
There should be no place for abusers and enablers in our sport.
So, it's 100+ days til the 22 home opener.
#mnufc
, now is the time to put proof of vax/neg COVID test/more stringent mask protocols into place at
@allianzfield
, so that all of your fans, esp. those families with young kids, can attend matches.
Until then, the boycott continues.
@MNUFC
@allianzfield
We are imploring you to strongly consider following suit here and implement these policies, starting with your next home match.
We feel that it would be an amazing way to show you care about your fans, stadium employees, and team staff.
every day that goes by without a statement on abortion rights from MLS (or most teams) is still so goddamn disappointing it hurts.
they know half their fan base is women, right? not to mention those who work for the league and teams. do better.
This is why we continue to ask all of the SG's to join us in a financial boycott at
@allianzfield
.
No drinks, No food, No merch purchases. Period.
Since they only care about $$, let's show them how it will hurt if they don't implement these policies.
Tonight before the
#MNUFC
match several team executives met with the SGs to discuss covid policy. It was disappointing to hear them trot out every possible justification for why they couldn't and wouldn't have a vax/test policy.

#WeSupportYou
Today, and always, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community.
Our hearts goes out to them and their family.
Trans people deserve to be safe —period. The continued violence against trans people, and the constant questioning of the humanity of trans people must stop.
Enough is enough.
CW: violence, discrimination, assault.
On Monday, a transgender woman was violently attacked at the Lake Street Light Rail Station. She was left with a broken rib, collapsed lung, & internal cranial bleeding. Please keep her, her family, and our community in your mind. 1/
Hey
#MNUFC
, another
@MLS
team placing proof of vax/negative test protocols in place for entry.
As COVID #'s rise, you continue to do nothing. When are you going to listen to the science experts and require these protocols to protect the health and safety of your fans?
This means:
•No beer/beverages purchases at any event in
@allianzfield
.
•No food purchases at any event in
@allianzfield
.
•No merchandise purchases at any event in
@allianzfield
.
Enough is enough. Until they start caring about their fans, we will stop giving them money.
On this
#InternationalWomensDay

Alright
@MnWoso
, we looked at your merch offerings and we need some bucket hats in that shop... What do we need to do to make that happen?
Asking for a lot of friends.
We will be following the lead of the
@nwsl_players
by observing a minute of reflection and silence in the 6th minute of every match for the remainder of the

season.
We ask that the other MN SG's join us in solidarity.
#ProtectNWSLPlayers
We would like to send our thoughts to those affected, and stand with our fellow
@ISCSupporters
members, by the senseless tragedy that took place today in Nashville.
We denounce the lack of sensible gun laws in TN, and call for much stronger gun reforms in the US.
#DoBetter
We appreciate the thank you, but we believe that all workers deserve a fair wage and benefits.
Also, as a pro-union supporters group, we would never cross a picket line for our own enjoyment or benefit.
Keep up the good fight, we got your back!

Period.

Just retweeting this to say that
@MNUFC
and
@allianzfield
have done fuck-all regarding this. Remaining silent and burying your head are letting us know as fans that you do not care.
We implore you to implement these vaccine/testing policies, as many other

clubs have done.

We are imploring you to strongly consider following suit here and implement these policies, starting with your next home match.
