Although I have not lived there in a long time, I grew up in Minnesota and I love our community. It breaks my heart to see our state under attack, but it fills me with hope to see Minnesotans defending their own. I want you all on the ground to know this is world news. Your actions are seen and supported. You are inspiring. You are loved the world over. Everyone who asks me about the situation back home receives the same answer: I am proud to call Minnesota home, and I would expect nothing less of my old friends and neighbors. I love you. Hold tight to one another. Stay strong.
