If the #mnleg doesn't act NOW to save Hennepin Healthcare from closing it would displace more than 2,700 AFSCME workers and other workers, and would cause thousands of patients from across Minnesota to go without our largest safety net hospital and lifesaving health care.

On March 28, AFSCME members and allies are taking to the streets to say: enough is enough. It’s time to put working people first. Find a #NoKings rally near you: https://t.co/Dm48jgKqHO

Proud to stand with AFSCME members yesterday. These workers keep our communities running every single day. Minnesota is stronger because of them.

I’ll always be a fighter for labor and for the people who make this state work.

Co-chair @RepAishaGomez is 100% correct! #mnleg @wemakemn

AFSCME Council 5, Local 34 (Hennepin County) union members who administer SNAP, MFIP, and WIC programs for working families call out the federal government’s disastrous and dangerous decision to block these essential payments! This is wrong!

What a beautiful day in Minnehaha Regional Park — perfect weather for kicking off our weekly Saturday Ward 12 door knock! ☀️

I’m grateful to be joined by Kay Carvajal Moran who is running for Park Board in District 5, and our @AFSCMEMN5 friends!

Solidarity, @afscme33! 💪🔥💚👏

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

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.

[AFSCME Council 5 @AFSCMEMN5]

SOLIDARITY REQUEST! 💪💚🔥

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

[Emma Greenman @emmagreenman]

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

[AFSCME Council 5 @AFSCMEMN5]

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

[AFSCME Council 5 @AFSCMEMN5]

THIS IS WRONG! Stop using workers as your political pawns! #mnleg

[Minnesota DFL @MinnesotaDFL]

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.

[AFSCME Council 5 @AFSCMEMN5]

🚨 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
