The 2018 Minnesota AFL-CIO Campaigns Conference is the official kick-off to Labor 2018.
Workshops at the Campaigns Conference will focus on organizing, legislative advocacy and political action. These three core priorities are being planned as campaigns – campaigns that complement each other and work together seamlessly. The State Federation is working with affiliates to implement this strategy – viewing core priorities in a campaign structure. We are confident this method of executing campaigns will lead to more successful outcomes for all working people. After all, organizing, legislative and political campaigns should always be about improving the lives of working people. To truly win for working Minnesotans, we must do so on the shop floor, at the Capitol, and at the ballot box.
As the election of a labor endorsed Governor is the focus of Labor 2018, we will be hosting a gubernatorial candidate forum at our February Campaigns Conference on Friday morning, February 16.
