Children's Sabbath Action

With child poverty in Minnesota on the rise, and the recession impacting children at disproportionate rates, now more than ever it is crucial that we work with our legislators to ensure that our children are protected in the legislative process.

This past session, in the face of a $5 billion budget deficit, tough cuts were made to programs that support vulnerable children. In the next year we will be working with community partners to enact legislation that will mobilize families to ensure child wellbeing.

TAKE ACTION NOW to inform your elected leaders that the rise in child poverty in Minnesota is unacceptable. Organize a Children's Sabbath action that your congregation can participate in this year. Below are resources you can use, including a POSTCARD that you can print and send.
