HIRE - Healthcare, Infrastructure, and Renewable Energy - has turned out hundreds of people across the Twin Cities, bringing together American Indian, African American, Latino, Hmong and recent immigrant communities.

HIRE's town hall forums have built toward a day at the capitol, which will take place on April 20. This video shows clips of Louis J King, among others, speaking at a HIRE event in Minneapolis in March 09.

Mysti Strege covered two HIRE meetings for the TC Daily Planet, and Tim Lehman assisted in putting together this video. Mysti Strege is a student at Hamline University and an intern at the TC Daily Planet. Tim Lehman is a student at Macalester College and an intern at the TC Daily Planet.
