Phone script

Hello, Senator/Representative ________.

My name is __________ and I work at __{insert agency}_ as a _{insert job}. I am a proud state government employee and member of MAPE - Minnesota Association of Professional Employees.

I am calling as your constituent to urge you to support your state workers and fully fund state agencies so Minnesotans can continue to receive the services they need and deserve. We know public workers provide the necessary services to ensure things are safe, healthy and sustainable – our work matters.

My work is important to Minnesota. {Talk about the work you do and the important role it has in the state.}

{How would it look for that work to be eliminated? Who would go unserved and how would impact them?}

I ask you to oppose funding cuts that protect the people living in your district and maintain the public services many of them rely on.

Thank you.
