Effective & Efficient Legislative Action
Action Learning: How to Impact Minnesota Legislation. Former Senator Ann Johnson Stewart will conduct a program from the perspective of a Minnesota Senator to inform us about how to Impact the legislative process efficiently and effectively.

Stop the Social Security Death Panel
The US House is preparing to vote to advance a bill that would create a fast-tracked, closed-door commission with the power to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. We need to stop that commission before it goes into effect.
Ask your senators to support seniors, not insurance corporations!
An industry-friendly letter in support of Medicare Advantage is currently circulating in the U.S. Senate, and we need senators to stand up for their constituents by refusing to sign.
