Thanks to Ann DeGroot from Outfront Minnesota for the tip. Now that they no longer have the sodomy law to defend in the state legislature, they seem to need something else to do.
Anyway, from this, it looks like they are looking for plaintiffs to try to sue the Minneapolis "deep pocket".

The suit I'd really like to see? Single employees suing on the basis of inequitable compensation. To me that's the real inequity going on.
The city has no legitimate authority to force a social policy upon a contractor. This is a liberty and equal protection issue.
Go fight your culture war with someone else's money.
Excuse me? Since when should the city with my tax dollars not advocate on my behalf that I and my neighbors should get the same compensation for my family that others get?
My tax dollars fund services and we should be able to decide to not hire contractors that have racist or bigoted employment policies.
By the way, bravo to Eva for keeping informed on what the far right is up to.
