The Twin Cities aren’t an abstract to me. I’ve spent time there visiting friends, enjoying shows at your theaters, lying around at your beaches, eating delicious food at your restaurants. The Cities are vibrant, passionate, and kind. Watching the community that has formed from this invasion, the kind of “love-in-action” that has transformed the community I knew into the community I am seeing now is beyond words to describe. I send all my strength, support, and love. You inspire us daily and give us the courage to continue this fight in our own communities, with our own neighbors. Thank you for showing us the way.
