Vision Duluth ESST Celebration

Posted May 30, 2018

Vision Duluth has worked together for two years to pass earned sick & safe time in Duluth – and on May 29th, 2018 the Duluth City Council voted to pass an ordinance!  We should be really proud of what we were able to accomplish together.  We became the 44th ESST policy nationwide – and only the 10th to pass inclusive family language.

Please join us as we celebrate the passage of the ordinance, the work we’ve done together & the many folks that were involved at every stage and in every aspect of the campaign.

We will gather for beverages & food, share stories & and continue to build our relationships with one another.

All are welcome – so please invite folks to join.… Continue reading »

Vision Duluth Launches!

Posted October 15, 2015

Personally, I’ve participated in hundreds of conversations with people who’s voices are too often invisible and unheard. And I am so inspired by what has come out of these conversations and how it has created a clear path for our work at TakeAction.  After hearing from hundreds of people, and sharing with thousands more, we are finally ready to bring this vision to the larger community. On October 19th we’re launching Vision Duluth!
