Shutdown Rally is Wednesday, July 6

If you’re tired of the political games being played at the expense of hard-working state employees and vulnerable citizens, join us Wednesday, July 6, from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the State Capitol.

Instead of creating jobs, the Legislature is creating unemployment. They’ve shut down the state and caused the biggest lay off in Minnesota history. A “cuts only” budget will eliminate 30,000 public- and private-sector jobs – permanently.

Note: Please bring a non-perishable food item, as we will be collecting for local food shelves. Also, representatives will be on hand to offer resource information to laid-off employees.

Join your fellow state employees and concerned citizens as we approach the one-week mark of the shutdown we will return to the Capitol to ask our elcted leaders to compromise and find a solution.
