  We need to Invest In Children NOW!
  Dear Carol ,



  Now is the time to take ACTION! You are needed NOW to participate and 
influence. 

    Conference committee deadline is approaching. The work of the Conference 
Committees is dependent on leadership and the Governor reaching consensus on 
budget targets.  As the final decisions are being made at the Capitol we need 
leadership on our side! We need their support to keep Early Care and Learning a 
priority. Please call the House and Senate leadership and tell them:

     "Please invest in child care and early childhood education because it IS 
essential for ALL children in Minnesota."

    Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson-Kelliher - 651-296-0171
    Senate Majority Leader Lawrence Pogemiller  - 651-296-7809
    Other opportunities to participate:

    Watch this video from Invest in Minnesota. This video features St Matthew's 
Child Care Center on the West Side of St Paul.

    Also, consider joining Invest in Minnesota's Rally Monday, May 11 at Noon. 
Invest in Minnesota's non-profit, faith and labor communities will gather at 
the State Capitol Rotunda for a rally that demonstrates organizational and 
citizen commitment to raising revenues fairly to maintain adequate funding for 
jobs, dignity, and public services that meet essential needs in communities. 


    Deadline for responding: Please take action ASAP!
