Come join with people from Isaiah and friends from St Mary’s as we make our voices heard at the Minnesota State Capitol. Each week during the legislative session there are opportunities to show up and speak with our legislators about the issues that matter to all Minnesotans. Our legislators really want to hear from us and encourage conversations on the issues. It might sound scary but it’s really a fun, affirming and powerful.

Jobs Committee Hearing: Paid Family & Medical Leave + ESST + Wage Theft

PUBLIC HEARING

Tuesday, March 26, 2019 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM CT

State Office Building, 100 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55155

Seeing the first smile of a newborn baby; holding hands at the hospital with a sick family member; comforting loved ones at the end of life; being able to heal and get well – Paid Family and Medical Leave Act let’s this happen without sacrificing a paycheck. It’s a simple, fair and widely popular state-administered program where everyone contributes – both employees and employers – and everyone benefits – families, workers and businesses. This would not only alleviate the disparities across race and class, but also among small businesses that are disproportionately impacted by not having a statewide paid time to care program.
