Minnesota AFL-CIO's Candace Lund talks with people about
health care reform at the Pride booth.

The Minnesota AFL-CIO participated in the 2009 Twin Cities Pride Festival on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28. Booth goers had the opportunity to sign a petition to urge Senator Klobuchar to support health care reform that will:

  • Support a public plan
  • Make employers pay their fair share
  • Ensure affordable coverage for pre-Medicare retirees
  • Not tax health benefits

Over 250 signatures were collected, and affiliate volunteers were able to talk with people about the urgent reform that needs to happen now.
