Request For Action...
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mother's Day yesterday. It was an enjoyable weekend here in Minnesota... and for the Minnesota people reading this... the following notice is from Ready 4 K and Child Care Works...
Now is the time to take ACTION!
You are needed NOW to participate and influence.
The conference committee deadline is approaching. The work of the Conference Committees is dependent on leadership and the Governor reaching consensus on budget targets. As the final decisions are being made at the Capitol we need leadership on our side! We need their support to keep early childhood care and education a priority. Please call the House and Senate leadership and tell them:
"Thanks for making early childhood care and education a top priority. Please continue to invest in our youngest Minnesotans."
Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson-Kelliher - 651-296-0171
Senate Majority Leader Lawrence Pogemiller - 651-296-7809
Other opportunities to participate:
Watch this video from Invest in Minnesota. This video features St Matthew's Child Care Center on the West Side of St Paul. http://www.investinmn.org/video.html
Also, consider joining Invest in Minnesota's Rally today, Monday, May 11, at Noon. Invest in Minnesota's non-profit, faith and labor communities will gather at the State Capitol Rotunda for a rally that demonstrates organizational and citizen commitment to raising revenues fairly to maintain adequate funding for jobs, dignity, and public services that meet essential needs in communities.
Deadline for responding: Please take action ASAP!
Thanks for your help!
