J,

Quick brief—yes, we need a workers’ campaign in Minnesota, and yes, we need backing now.

In the last 30 years, the percentage of blue-collar workers in the state has surged by 28%.

That’s not organic. It’s not revival.

It’s what happens when a government strips paths to higher education, deregulates wage protections, and then calls it “freedom.”

We didn’t build this economy—they reduced it.

We’re seeing a rise in warehouse, transport, and manufacturing jobs—but with fewer protections, longer hours, and “opt-in” rights that workers can’t afford to lose. This was the plan. Quiet pressure. Controlled collapse. And now? The next phase.

I’ve picked up signals: internal chatter, restructured budget lines, noise from legal offices with ties to enforcement. It looks like Minnesota’s being prepped for a pilot—a test site to scale back what’s left of organized labor rights. Early language uses words like “flexibility,” “streamlining,” “voluntary exit pathways.” You know what that means.

They want to break us before anyone notices.

We can’t let this go quiet.

Tell me what you can fund.

We’ve got hands. We’ve got voice. We just need fire (and um, money).
