Title

Join the #InvestMNts Campaign to support investments for strong communities

4/25/22
Body

Minnesota and all of its communities are stronger when our families and neighbors have what they need to thrive. Vital services like health care, child care, affordable housing, as well as services for people with disabilities and older folks have been critical for Minnesotans, especially as they navigate the health and economic crises exacerbated by the pandemic. Given the state’s historic levels of resources, now is the time to make immediate and long-term investments—or, #investMNts—in the things we know build strong, thriving communities, from affordable housing to health care to child care and more.

Wilder, in collaboration with our partners, has launched the investMNts Campaign. From now throughout the remainder of the 2022 Legislative Session, state policymakers need to hear from their constituents on the need to prioritize these once-in-a-generation resources.
