Peter Mielech is doing all he can to help protect voting rights and marriage equality for all Minnesotans. That's why this weekend, he is organizing "MN Musicians Vote NO!" a two-night music festival and get out the vote effort. Along with delivering a fun atmosphere, Peter's goal is to raise awareness and funds in order to defeat Amendment 1 and 2 on the ballot this election.

By day, Peter, an SEIU Healthcare Minnesota member, is a patient transport aide and a union steward at United Hospital in St. Paul, MN. But he's currently volunteering his time to organize the awareness event. "This all came about because I have a unique interest in music and I found a way to use that to deepen my involvement with my union and with causes that are important to me," he said.
