My heart is breaking to see the violence, hatred, and fear that has descended on Minnesota. However, the way that your communities have come together to support and protect each other, in spite of the risks, is truly inspiring. I believe you are setting an example for the rest of America. You are the best of us, and you are shining a light for all of us to illuminate the path ahead. Sending love and prayers to you all, may God keep you safe and give you continued courage and strength.
