This year’s elections will shape the future of labor in Minneapolis.
Union members work hard for their families. We want our leaders to work hard for us too.
The current majority on the park board has failed workers repeatedly. It’s time we put people in charge who understand that being pro-labor is being pro-parks. Our nationally-award winning parks are worker-made.
The political process begins with precinct caucuses on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 — and we need YOU there!
When labor shows up, pro-labor candidates win. The time to choose them is now, not later. Caucuses only happen once a year! If you’re a busy person, pre-registering for the caucus is one really impactful way to safeguard worker rights.
