May 23: Rally at the Capitol for Public Services and Jobs
It happened in Madison…
It happened in Ohio…
Now it’s coming to Minnesota!
The union-busting and service slashing bills that happened in Wisconsin are being
pushed by right wing politicians and corporations here in MN & around the
country. Currently 50 bills in the MN state legislature are aimed at gutting
public services, slashing up to 30,000 jobs, and cutting pay and benefits for
public employees. This includes plans to cut the U's
budget by 12% to 18%, which could result in hundreds of layoffs.
Monday, May 23 is the last day of the legislative session and without an
agreement on the budget by midnight, the state may shut down. It's imperative that we send a message to the
legislature that working people didn't
create this crisis and shouldn't
have to pay for it on our backs. There's
another fix - taxing the rich and the corporations.
