The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation and Minnesota State AFL-CIO, along with multiple Central Labor Councils throughout Minnesota have called for a Day of Truth and Freedom for Friday, January 23rd. “This will be a Statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection: no work, no school, no shopping – only community, conscience, and collective action.”

Here are ways you can assist or otherwise get involved:
