Language petition sign and pass on

We urge you to take the time to add your support to this important petition.

Please distribute and forward this e-mail widely.

We were #176 to sign

The Midwest Casino Workers Organizing Council supports this petition and we are in full support of removing any and all barriers to revitalizing the Dakota and Ojibwe language in Minnesota. We represent forty-thousand casino workers employed in smoke-filled casinos paid poverty wages who are without any rights in the Indian Gaming Industry. When we win union recognition our contracts will be multi-lingual including in the Dakota and Ojibwe languages.

In solidarity and struggle,

Maggie Bird
President,
Midwest Casino Workers Organizing Council

Hello Friends & Family

Please take a moment to help support some of the work that I have been
involved in for the past few years. The following is a link to an
online petition that we are trying to get passed around to support
language in the state of Minnesota. A lot of people have worked very
hard to be heard at the state level. Please help us have a strong voice
and take a moment to sign this petition and please feel free to share
with your family and friends that feel would like to support this
effort. Do not delay this legislative session is coming to an end and
we do not have much time to get the word out.



Here is the link for the petition: http://petitionspot.com/petitions/DOLRA
