Minnesota Church Ladies Videos
Budget Holes and Hotdish: Church Ladies agree charity won't be enough for the investments our communities desperately need. At a recent meeting of the Ladies Aid, the members of the Minnesota Church Ladies came to the conclusion that their creative solutions may not be sufficient for the state's crucial needs.
Wedding Cake Conundrum: This video, starring the Minnesota Church Ladies, is the second in the Enough for All Series, produced by A Minnesota Without Poverty. When it's time to serve the wedding cake the Church Ladies discover they have a problem: Will there be enough? They discover they have the courage to solve the conundrum and there is indeed enough for all. Their situation mirrors current state and federal challenges and can make the solution to our conundrum abundantly clear also.
Public Policy Pickles: The Minnesota Church Ladies are back with the third video in the Enough for All Series. Once again they make a discovery: When one person is affected, we are all affected. Five vignettes tell the story: Earl Lost His Job, 24/7, The Local Library, After School, and Pickle Jar. And the bottom line is this: We have enough for all to have enough. And--We all hurt when some of us don't have enough.

We need your help to fight these reckless cuts and make sure that deficit reduction is accomplished in a fair and responsible manner and not on the backs of vulnerable families. We need your help to put forward an alternative vision of shared prosperity and responsible deficit reduction that examines the whole budget, including defense and wasteful tax expenditures.
