Thank you @HennepinD2 for joining our #HANDSOFF MEDICAID / #AFSCMEGO rally this afternoon! Together, we’re fighting for workers, patients, clients, and our neighbors!




Solidarity, @afscme33! 💪🔥💚👏
It’s day six of the @afscme33 strike and Philadelphia city workers are holding the line! One day longer, one day stronger. Philadelphia works because DC33 does. It’s time for a fair contract with the wages, dignity and respect they deserve.
Walker Art Center workers in AFSCME Local 4493 are fighting for justice and fairness and sounding the alarm on union busting tactics. @AFSCME #union
Thank you Sen. @doronclark and Rep. Amanda Hemmingson Jaeger for your strong support of our union state employees who Make Minnesota Happen! We are grateful for your friendship and leadership! ✊🔥💚 #mnleg

US Senator Mike Lee used his platform to inflict more pain on Minnesota. Our Velvet Hammer, Senator Tina Smith, called it out.
At her town hall, when the crowd says people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, Joni Ernst responds "well we all are going to die." #iasen
Interrupting this daily #mnleg budget overtime update with a warning: the biggest Minnesota corporations are trying to extract tax cuts and roll back worker protections—all while raking in profits hand over fist. This is a shakedown. Enough is enough. #handsoff #unrigoureconomy
Layoff notices to state employees & not passing the state budget on time doesn’t only impact state employees. It impacts workers in cities, counties, school districts, & non profit organizations that also need the state legislature to pass a budget. #mnleg #afscmego

THIS IS WRONG! Stop using workers as your political pawns! #mnleg
MNGOP leaders think that "if the government shuts down, that's great." Let's be clear: a state government shutdown would bring chaos to our state. Minnesotans wouldn't be able to renew driver's licenses, parks would close, and tens of thousands of people would be laid off.
🚨 We call on Minnesota state lawmakers to finish their work and pass a responsible state budget — and to do so without delay in order to avoid unnecessarily triggering avoidable and distressing layoff notices being delivered to tens of thousands of state employees. #mnleg

State correctional officers and staff, unions tell state lawmakers: STOP THE CLOSURE OF STILLWATER PRISON #mnleg
