To our neighbors in Minnesota: You are not forgotten, and you are not facing this alone. In this moment of fear, grief, and uncertainty, please know that people across the country are holding you close in our hearts. Communities everywhere are watching what you’re enduring, the raids, the trauma, the loss. We stand with you in compassion and solidarity. Your families, your stories, and your dignity matter. The courage you’ve shown in protecting one another, showing up for your neighbors, speaking truth even in the coldest moments is a reminder of the strength that lives in Minnesota’s communities. May you feel safety where there has been fear, support where there has been isolation, and hope where there has been harm. People are organizing, donating, documenting, comforting, and refusing to look away. There is a network of care around you, even if you can’t always see it. You deserve peace. You deserve protection. You deserve a future free from terror. We will not stand down in this fight for our democracy.
