We Did It! The Levy Renewal Passes with 59% of the Vote

We are so grateful for all of your support of the Anoka Hennepin Levy Renewal - this will make a big difference in our classrooms. In these tough economic and cynical times, we really appreciate what you did to give us this win with 59% of the vote.

Special thanks to the over 100 members who helped make direct contact with voters through our phone bank; the over 200 members who helped write personal postcards; the legislators, parents, students, and vendors who assisted with our efforts; our staff at the state Education Minnesota office, America Votes, and the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation for all the infrastructure work; and all those who helped with the organization of our activities. With so many doing their part to get the message out, this was an effective and exhilarating campaign.

We just can't thank you all enough.
