2015 5% Campaign
2015 5% Campaign: Contact your legislators now!
Last year’s 5% campaign was so successful because so many individuals contacted their legislators to express how important the increase was
to them. The 5% Campaign is working again to secure a rate increase to
further increase the wages of direct support staff throughout Minnesota.
Please contact your legislators and let them know how important this
issue is and ask them to support this effort. Remember to thank them for
their past support. The bills are: In the Senate: SF 646 and in the
House: HF 564.
