Who We Are
We Make Minnesota is a coalition of labor unions and grassroots organizations united by our shared belief in a caring and collaborative society. We fight for the public revenues and investments that create a strong and prosperous Minnesota, where communities can thrive and everyone is afforded the opportunity to live a safe, healthy, and dignified life.
We believe that…
Minnesotans know what it means to care for each other.
Whether we’re Black or white, Latino or Asian, Indigenous or immigrant, we know that when we all contribute, we can make this a great place to live for all of us, no exceptions. And whether our backyards raise corn or condos, forests or freeways, we know what makes a good life: a roof over our heads we can be proud of, good jobs that support our families, time to be with our loved ones, care when we’re sick, clean air, clean water, and good food.
But...
…for too long, certain politicians have pit Minnesotan communities against each other, while allowing the biggest corporations and richest 1% to get a free ride off our contributions. They profit off our backs, draining our schools and communities of our resources, and then try to pin the blame for our hardships on Black people, new immigrants, and those struggling to make ends meet.
We are out of patience for these blame games and ready for elected officials to take action.
We Make Minnesota, and we’re better off together.
As elected officials make decisions about the budget, it’s time to recognize that We Make Minnesota - regular people across race, gender, and zip code. We have made it clear that we want the leaders we chose to choose care and choose fairness, in our budgets and in our lives. It’s overdue for the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair contribution to make a Minnesota that works for all of us.
