Tell your story at the State Fair

Angela Plumbo (above), a member of AFSCME Local 517 in Washington County, talks with fairgoers about the Defend Minnesota campaign.

AFSCME Council 5 volunteers are asking fairgoers to list specific examples from their communities or their lives of the direct impact of state and local budget decisions. The stories will be compiled and shared with elected officials to help preserve vital public services. Fairgoers who participate receive a “Rosie the Riveter” Defend MN button.
