We need a people-centered stimulus that leaves nobody out
St. Paul, MN–Today, members of Congress and state legislators are acting to address the unprecedented economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. TakeAction Minnesota, with our national affiliates, are deeply concerned by who’s included in the federal stimulus and who is poised to benefit the most. TakeAction Minnesota released the following statement.
As the economy teeters, elected officials are racing to make changes to the nation’s Unemployment Insurance system. But in a country that ties health insurance to employment, we need to ask: what about health care?
There’s no question about it. Everyone needs health care, period. Especially in a pandemic.
When it comes to politics and policy, the question isn’t whether government is big or small, but who is our government working for.
We believe in good government that’s by and for the people.
Today, we’re thanking Sen. Tina Smith and Sen. Amy Klobuchar for standing with people and small businesses and voting NO on Senator Mitch McConnell’s corporate slush fund bill.
We don’t usually send action alerts out on Sundays but this is urgent. First, we know that we will get through this pandemic and economic crisis together or not at all. Our lives are interdependent and tied together.

ST. PAUL, MN—Today, the Minnesota House advanced a bipartisan solution to address out of control prescription drug prices. The bill would establish a Prescription Drug Affordability Commission to evaluate drug prices and protect Minnesotans from out of control drug costs.
Travis Paulson, a type 1 diabetic from Eveleth who runs a patient advocacy organization and organizes caravans to pharmacies in Canada testified in support of the bill. Paulson is facing long-term health complications from rationing insulin, which at times cost him $1,500 per month.
10 años de primavera. 10 years of spring. That is what Guatemalans call the decade from 1944 to 1954, when consecutive presidents Arévalo and Arbenz kicked out extractive U.S. corporations
