Stand Up For A Fair Budget

This Thursday, May 13th, join faith, labor and nonprofit organizations from around the state to show our support for fair revenue increases at the Capitol. Join with the Invest in Minnesota coalition and other JRLC folks to say that when it comes to crafting budgets that protect the poor and vulnerable, revenues should be part of the solution!

The time is now to stand together and support a balanced approach for fixing Minnesota's budget problems.

This Thursday evening, legislators are likely to face a critical vote which could determine whether or not Minnesota takes a balanced approach to addressing budget shortfalls. Join us as we demonstrate our support for legislation that includes revenue raised fairly.

WHAT: A rally and action to tell legislators it's time to put revenues on the table for protecting programs that serve the poor and vulnerable.
WHERE: Minnesota State Capitol, 2nd floor 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., St. Paul
WHEN: This Thursday, May 13. Begin gathering at 5 p.m. Program at 6:30 p.m. - Come when you can, stay as long as you can!

When you join us, you'll be able to:

  • Pick up talking points and signs
  • Ask legislators to support revenue raised fairly
  • Hear a brief program at 6:30, JRLC Board Member Peg Chemberlin will be speaking.
