Yesterday I attended Voices of Wisdom: Pathways to Peace in Golden Valley, an MLK celebration hosted by The Sweet Potato Comfort Pie.
After sharing stories at our table, all eight of us chose to donate our pie to Haven Pantry in recognition of their support for our immigrant community.

I sat with small business owners doing everything right and still barely hanging on. Sales are down, payroll is up, and promised support never reaches their accounts.
County leadership offered a resolution. Not relief. Not action.
Businesses need cash flow, not symbolism. Show up with action. 📣

What happened in South Minneapolis today should never have happened. Less than 24 hours after Chief O'Hara raised concerns about escalation, a life was lost. I'm filled with grief.
This cannot be minimized. Hennepin Co and Minneapolis must stand with the community and push for the full truth.
