Please take Action, and forward to your networks

Please take action, and forward to your networks!
Inline image 1Take action with MN-Mesa Latina TODAY to pass the Driver's License for All bill through the Senate and help make Minnesota’s roads safer and more inclusive for all! Ensuring that every Minnesotan, regardless of immigration status, has equal opportunity to apply for a driver’s license means that every Minnesotan has equal access to road skill testing, vision testing, and auto insurance, increasing public safety for all. Law enforcement officials statewide strongly support the bill, citing safer roads and streamlined processing as benefits for their work and for all Minnesotans. Join MN-Mesa Latina TODAY in calling upon the Minnesota State Senate to restore driver’s license access to all Minnesotans with the Driver’s License for All bill! 
As part of a broad coalition made of organizational and individual allies like yourself, MN-Mesa Latina achieved monumental victory in passing the MN Dream Act. Now, the Driver’s License for All bill needs your help. The Driver's License for All bill is being heard on the Senate floor TOMORROW, Thursday, May 9, and we need YOUR voice to make sure the bill passes!
Take action TODAY in three easy steps!
1) Find your State Senator here: http://www.gis.leg.mn/OpenLayers/districts
2) Call or email them, and ask them to support the Driver's License for All bill using the below language (if you are leaving a voice mail, remember to include your full address):
Honorable Senator ______________: 
Hello, my name is _____________ and I am one of your constituents. I am contacting you today to ask you to support Senate File 271, the Driver’s License for All bill. The Driver’s License for All bill would restore driver’s license access to all Minnesotans, regardless of immigration status, and create safer and more inclusive roads. Law enforcement officials statewide hail the bill as a big win for all Minnesotans in public safety, and I agree with them. Equal access to driver’s licenses means equal access to road skill testing, vision testing, and auto insurance, making driving safer for all Minnesotans. Please join Minnesota with forward-looking states Illinois, New Mexico, Utah, Washington, and most recently Colorado, and support the passage of Senate File 271, the Driver’s License for All bill.
Thank you for supporting the ability of all Minnesotans to work, attend school, and live their lives.
3) Fill out this very short 3-question form to let us know you did it!
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING DRIVER’S LICENSES FOR ALL!___________________________________________________________
