TODAY
At the Capitol
4:30 - 6:30pm
See the invite from the Minnesota AFL - CIO below.
We counted on our Minnesota legislators to do their jobs and solve the state’s budget crisis. But instead, the Republican majority has dug in their heels and insisted on a budget that hurts middle-class families.
Now, the Republicans have gone too far—shutting down state services and programs, costing us thousands of jobs, halting needed construction projects and even closing state parks.
There is a better way. Gov. Dayton’s compromise plan protects the middle class and asks the rich to pay their fair share. Under Gov. Dayton’s plan, 99 percent of Minnesotans will see no tax increase.
House Speaker Kurt Zellers, Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch and Minnesota Republicans need to get back to work, compromise with Gov. Dayton and stop protecting millionaires and billionaires.
Sign our petition and tell Republicans to do their jobs!
In solidarity,
Minnesota AFL-CIO
P.S. Instead of creating jobs, Republicans are creating unemployment. They’ve shut down the state and caused the biggest lay off in Minnesota history. If you’re angry about losing your job and your public services, please sign our petition.
Then, join your union brothers and sisters
TODAY, July 6, from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
on the state Capitol steps.
If Legislative Republicans get their way, their “cuts only” budget will eliminate 30,000 public- and private-sector jobs—permanently. That’s the result of refusing to ask the richest 2 percent to pay their share. Republicans would prefer to eliminate 30,000 jobs so they can protect the 45,000 households making $350,000 or more.

See you there!
I support Governor Mark Dayton!
