With today’s passage of Paid Family and Medical Leave, no Minnesotan will have to choose between a paycheck and caring for themselves or a loved one.
Thank you for your tireless work, Senator @DrAliceMann!
Thanks @RuthForHouse "Families know that a serious illness or an injury can be devastating for families, not only physically, but financially” said Richardson. “And a uniting factor is that all of us at some point are going to need to care for ourselves or for a loved one.” -MPR
We're headed to the final vote in the Senate today!!!! After almost a decade of fighting for this, to know that we're hours away is the best feeling! #PaidLeaveMN#MNLeg
"Nothing gives you more anxiety than trying to balance work and family. Making great #childcare accessible and affordable will make that stress a whole lot less...and by the way, so will universal #PaidLeaveMN." @GovTimWalz#mnleg#SOTS#MNSOTS
@RepFreiberg thanks for listening. You are working so hard for us. Our child care teachers need retention payment and parents need more affordable child care. #mnleg#fullyfundchildcare
Have you emailed your Rep about childcare retention payments yet? DO IT NOW! We need these payments funded at the level
@GovTimWalz
proposed or teacher pay will be cut, costs will skyrocket for families, and childcares will close! (For real!) https://t.co/6BhwEpESok
No matter what you look like or where you live, every Minnesotan deserves high quality, affordable health insurance. The MNCare Public Option will save lives by making that a reality. We're excited to be a part of the coalition working to make MNcare accessible to all MN's! 💜❤️
Every Minnesotan needs #PaidLeaveMN to care for family and ourselves. Big biz wants to water down this plan so that the wealthiest don't pay their fair share. MN knows better! #mnleg
We’re rallying next week to let legislators know we want a state administered paid family & medical leave program. Join us March 21st at 9:45 AM to send a clear message, it’s time to put families & small businesses over corporate greed. #PaidLeaveMN#mnleg https://t.co/DWsCgRv3LG
We can guarantee this is the only testifier that elicited "oooohs and awwws" from a House committee this morning!

We were SO energized hearing @LtGovFlanagan speak with our KCOU providers, parents and teachers, and kids (babies!) today. We're grateful to have a Lt. Governor who recognizes the critical role childcare plays for MN families.
Best Lt. Gov for #FullyFundingChildcare! #mnleg
One more great action shot of @LtGovFlanagan - "I have the best coworker. @GovTimWalz and I are committed to #FullyFundingChildcare in MN. I couldn't have lived without my childcare provider when my daughter was young!" #mnleg
