## Resource

When the Great Depression hit Minnesota, unemployment soared to 29% statewide—with some regions like the Iron Range facing a crushing 70%. Farmers, already struggling with debt and drought, added to the crisis. In response, Minnesotans rose up: a Minneapolis pastor launched the “Organized Unemployed,” issuing scrip and running a commissary to keep people fed and employed. Labor strikes, including the 1934 Teamsters’ uprising, demanded union rights and fair wages, often met with violence. As federal New Deal programs stepped in, local efforts faded—but their legacy lives on as proof of how communities innovate and resist when capitalism fails.
