Sign up for more details

Join us for a rally to let our community know we will not sit idly by while Republicans drive up health insurance premiums and cut off access to necessary healthcare across Minnesota. 200,000 Minnesotans are going to lose insurance because Brad Finstad, Pete Stauber, Michelle Fischbach, and Tom Emmer keep voting to make your life more expensive. Republicans are the ONLY ones responsible for this shutdown.

SNAP Cuts Harm our Communities

November 1, 12:00–1:00pm

440,000 Minnesotans Are About to Lose Their SNAP Benefits

Starting November 1, nearly half a million Minnesotans will lose access to Food Stamps (SNAP) — a lifeline for families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

This crisis is no accident. It’s the direct result of the Republican-led government shutdown, driven by Representative Pete Stauber and other Minnesota Republicans who refuse to come to the table and negotiate.

While families face hunger and grocery stores and farmers struggle, these lawmakers are prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires and cuts to food assistance, healthcare, and education.

Join us on Saturday, October 1, from 12-1 PM, to stand together and demand an end to the shutdown.

Let’s send a clear message: Minnesota’s kids, seniors, and people with disabilities cannot go hungry — Save SNAP now!

Food Shelf Donations for the Cook Community Food Shelf will be collected at the event.

We recommend signs that are themed around SNAP/food stamps, the government shutdown and the affect of SNAP cuts in our communities. We also recommend short (around 10 words), easy to read signs.

Please note: A core principle behind these actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Our vigil is calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to Israeli blockade of Gaza, an end to genocide in Gaza, and an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. This will be a silent vigil. Many find this healing and powerful for continuing our work towards peace and justice. After the half hour of silence, there will be a group song and group reading of names and ages of some of those killed in Gaza. Anyone wanting to stay and stand longer with signs is welcome to do so! Please wear black (if you can) and a hat or scarf for head cover. Homemade signs are welcome.
