Teachers and students have spent years clashing over the presence of cellphones in the classroom.

To learn how cellphones are impacting schools, we turn to the Edwardsville School District: Here student advisors like junior Josie Proctor and senior Amulya Girada helped superintendent Dr. Patrick Shelton craft the district's new policy — including the consequences for breaking it.

However, outreach to consumers by phone, including texting, can also come under scrutiny under a patchwork of state laws, many of which have unique nuances that create compliance challenges.

Minnesota Now has been following President Donald Trump's first two weeks in office, including the tariff threats on Canada and Mexico. Trump has said he ordered the tariffs to put pressure on the countries to prevent fentanyl trafficking into the states. Fentanyl has wreaked havoc on the lives of millions of Americans and results in about 70,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. The synthetic opioid is mostly manufactured in China. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the majority of fentanyl coming into the states was bought by drug cartels in Mexico and smuggled over the U.S. border. For a better understanding of how fentanyl is making its way into the state of Minnesota and the effect it is having here, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Drew Evans, Superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

The heavy rains and flooding that affected much of Minnesota last spring and summer may seem a lifetime ago. But it's a weather pattern we are expected to see more of as the state becomes warmer and wetter. These conditions are also hard on wild rice, which needs shallow water, especially early in the growing season. One way people who are concerned about the future of the plant are working to protect it is through the law. A campaign launching this year asks the state of Minnesota to grant legal rights to wild rice, as the White Earth Band of Ojibwe and the 1855 Treaty Authority have done. Leanna Goose is an organizer with the Rise and Repair Alliance, a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and a researcher who is working to reseed wild rice on Leech Lake. She is speaking in a panel discussion Sunday at the Great Northern Festival's Climate Solutions Series, moderated by MPR News reporter Melissa Olson. Leanna Goose joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the campaign.

President Elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants on day one of his administration. Removing the approximately 11.7 million people living in the United States without authorization would take a massive operational effort -- and likely require cooperation from both state and local governments. Right now, most Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests in the U.S. happen because of a hand off from local law enforcement. But that kind of cooperation is restricted in Washington state. 2019’s Keep Washington Working Act broadly limits state and local law enforcement from assisting with federal immigration proceedings. But Trump allies are already ramping up the pressure on local leaders in places like California and D.C. with similar sanctuary laws in place: Stephen Miller’s America First Legal Foundation announced last month that it had identified hundreds of elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions who it claimed could be held civilly liable for obstructing federal immigration enforcement. As the new Trump Administration takes office, Washington state’s elected sheriffs will be among those officials feeling the squeeze between federal agencies, and state law.

It's officially 2025, and nonprofits across the country are diligently preparing for upcoming legislative sessions, a presidential transition, and other critical advocacy initiatives. The Alliance for Justice Bolder Advocacy team is here to help when questions arise about nonprofits' ability to engage with government officials and pursue policy change. In the meantime, we've also compiled a list of our Top 10 nonprofit New Year's resolutions to help your organization ready itself for 2025 and beyond.    Attorneys for this Episode  Monika Graham  Victor Rivera Labiosa  Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort     Level-up Your Social Justice Advocacy  Check out our new Advocacy Playbook series for an overview of the laws and regulations that apply to 501(c)(3) public charities when they engage in lobbying and election season advocacy.   Resources designed specifically for advocates working in key issue areas:  Environmental Justice  Criminal Legal Reform  Gender and Reproductive Justice  Labor and Economic Justice  LGBTQ+ and HIV Communities  Health and Disability Rights  Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights  Democracy and Voting Rights    Conduct an Advocacy Check-up  Our new Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment is designed to help your 501(c)(3) public charity assess its overall compliance with federal and state advocacy-related tracking and reporting requirements and to identify opportunities for you to build your organization's advocacy capacity.   The goal is to ensure that your nonprofit is aware of the opportunities for advocacy allowed by the tax and election laws that govern lobbying and election-related activity by tax-exempt organizations.    Brush-Up on State Law with Bolder Advocacy's Practical Guidance Series  Lobbying: Working to impact legislative or executive branch policy at the state-level?

When community members  meet legislators face-to-face and discuss the issues that affect their everyday lives, not only do legislators receive the information they need to represent their communities, but those communities are empowered to invest more heavily in the outcomes of policy debates, giving them a stronger hand in their own future.  Conduct research and produce relevant resources that reflect the real story of your community and its needs.  Educate the community on the issues that matter most to your organization.  Host educational conference where people can gather, network, share information, and plan for the future.  Conduct leadership training to provide individuals with the skills needed to be spokespersons for potential policy reform.     Work Together. Join forces with other nonprofit organizations to maximize advocacy, share resources, and harness power in order to more effectively drive real and lasting policy change.  (Podcast) Working Together: Affiliation and Coalition Basics  (Guide) Coalition Checklist  (Guide) The Connection: Strategies for Creating 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and Political Organizations    Become an AFJ Member  The strength of Alliance for Justice is rooted in our membership of nearly 140 organizations that share a commitment to an equitable, just, and free society.   Throughout the 40+ years of AFJ's history, our members have been at the forefront of defending our communities' constitutional rights and building power across the progressive movement to fight for social justice.  Benefits include:  Priority access to Bolder Advocacy resources and special members-only training events  Free public webinar and on-demand webinar registration  Cutting edge research on judicial nominees  And more!  

The federal government, back in campaign season, put out word that violent crime in America was down -- and not just by a little, but by quite a bit. The government put out this word because that's what the FBI said to be true. So Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and all the Democrats and the leftist boot-lickers in the media went on a concerted journey to tell how Donald Trump was lying when he said crime in America was up, up, up, and also how lucky Americans were to have a president like Biden who actually lowered crime around the nation. Then the FBI's revised statistics came out and voila, suddenly it was seen: Trump was right. Crime was up, up, up. Violent crime had risen under Biden. And all the deep staters went, whoops! Democrats and deep state players will always pretend like crime falls under their watch, even when it's oh-so-untrue. But states don't have to rely on the feds to provide border security and crime-fighting tools to ensure their communities are safe from criminals. As Christopher Holton, a senior analyst with Center for Security Policy says, states can do a lot right now to make sure criminals aren't committing crimes in their local communities. Tune in for the recommendations.

In this new episode of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeff unwinds all things Luigi: from the arrest to the initial state charges, to the upgraded First Degree Murder charge, to the shocking federal charges. Included is Jeff's insight on why everything seemed to change in the prosecution — the impact of the massive pro-Luigi public groundswell is the culprit. In other news, Jeff describes a trip to Florida for a plea on a multi-million dollar fraud case which incredibly ended with no conviction for his young client, and why a generous act a few days prior may have caused this result. Lastly, NYC Mayor Adams' big mouthed top aide gets indicted and she still can't stop talking to the press. An update to an earlier podcast lays all the stupidity out. In short, Jeff called this one early.

In this episode, Jeffrey Lichtman dives into the aftermath of the 2024 election — Kamala Harris's resounding defeat and the unexpected national shift that defied nearly every major poll. Jeff openly admits he underestimated the American electorate, having repeatedly predicted that Trump could never win. But last week, Trump did just that, sweeping the popular vote, dominating in swing states, and leaving pundits scrambling to explain why they got it so wrong. Jeff reflects on the issues that broke in Trump's favor: from crime and immigration to economic and foreign policies that Americans across demographics were ready to change.Jeff also dissects the hypocrisy of the left's elite, who preached social justice and open borders while ignoring Americans' real needs. He explores the hard truths that Harris  and the Democrats refused to face, from soaring crime rates to economic strain and unchecked immigration. America had enough, and Jeff sees this election as a signal that the tide has turned. With the House and Senate now in his favor, Trump has a narrow window to make real changes, but as Jeff warns, he can't waste time this time around.
