Shanah Tovah to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah.

“Lucy was a heavyweight of the American labor movement… In 1968, he traveled to his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, to help resolve the sanitation workers’ strike, marching shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as the workers sought the city’s recognition of their union, AFSCME Local 1733.”

It’s time for Minnesota to pass a moratorium on new charter schools.

Our Pro-Labor DFL-Majority changed lives for countless working families by simply making school meals free for every public school student. Let’s build on our historic progress by keeping our Pro-Labor Majority in the Minnesota House and Senate. #BetterInAUnion #labor2024 #mnleg
