Tell your Senator: Pass the HEROES Act NOW!
US Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith
Minnesota is projected to have a $4.7 billion budget deficit -Programs have begun to close, services are being delayed, and public employees are being laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We must come together as a union family and work together simply because "an injury to one is an injury to all!" Fight with us to ensure robust aid to state and local governments.

The US House passed the HEROES Act over a month ago, providing nearly $1 trillion in federal aid to states, counties, cities, and towns to prevent service delays and employee layoffs, appropriates $100 billion to K-12 public schools, extends the federal student loan payment deferral, saves the US Postal Service, provides $200 billion in hazard pay for front line workers, and much more!
This legislative package must pass or our state and country will face even higher unemployment and more economic instability for working people. Mitch McConnell is stalling its passage and we need our Senators to push to make state and local government aid is a top priority!
