Join HIRE Minnesota to Mourn the Passing of Another Failed Construction Season
Please join us in this important action to again highlight the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s (MnDOT) 17 years of failure to meet its hiring goals for people of color.
On Tuesday, September 29, 2009 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. – HIRE Minnesota will stage a funeral procession to mourn the loss of yet another construction season in 2009. We will meet at Lao Family Community of Minnesota located at 320 University Avenue West in St. Paul (see map) and march to the State Capitol lawn, where we will hold a funeral to grieve for the loss of opportunity for people of color at MnDOT. A small delegation of HIRE Minnesota members will then proceed inside the MnDOT headquarters to meet with Commissioner Tom Sorel and demand that systems are put in place to bring back hope for better outcomes in 2010!
We are more powerful with more voices! Please join us to make sure MnDOT hears our call for justice and equity! Please RSVP so we know to expect you!
*We also need volunteers to help make this event a success! Please sign up online to volunteer for our Sept. 27 phone bank to make calls to HIRE Minnesota supporters!
Also, join us for the HIRE Minnesota Coalition Meeting on Thursday, October 8, 2009 at Summit Academy OIC, located at 935 Olson Memorial Highway in North Minneapolis.
This is another opportunity to make your voice heard: come to the next quarterly HIRE Minnesota coalition meeting. Hear updates on what HIRE Minnesota is working on, and help set the agenda for 2010! Please RSVP on the HIRE Minnesota web site.
