Dear brave Minnesotan: In lieu of standing beside you in person, I hope that this note works in some small way to bolster your courage and commitment as you defend your community and pursue justice. You represent the best of our country and are inspiring people far beyond Minnesota. Your life has been upended, and you are putting yourself at risk to fight for what’s right—may we all live up to the example you have set. I know that I speak for many others when I express my sincere gratitude. Thank you and stay strong. We are standing beside you from afar.
