The Rally to Fund Our Future has been rescheduled to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18. Given all the uncertainty at the Capitol right now, we believe this is our best approach to raise awareness about the importance of raising the revenue needed to improve educator pay, pensions and health care.
The Minnesota House has yet to solidify a power-sharing agreement, and Republicans are trying to use a temporary majority to take control of the chamber for the next two years. DFL legislators have signaled they are planning to work in their districts for the first weeks of the session. Between the House and Senate, there will also be at least two special elections and litigation over which party will control which body.
Due to all of this, the rally has been rescheduled to a time when we expect legislators to be back at the Capitol.

Rally for the financial security educators deserve!
Join fellow educators and labor allies at the Capitol on TUESDAY, FEB. 18 to demand Minnesota’s wealthiest corporations pay what they truly owe in taxes so our elected leaders can invest in educators and other working people.
Without improvements in educator pay, pensions and health care, Minnesota won’t fix the staffing crisis in our schools or provide our students with the education they deserve.
Here are the details:
