Repost Text: This is an important moment in my career as an elected official serving in the MN House of Representatives. When confronted with situations that exploit pain and trauma, I will leverage my voice and lived experiences to illuminate the issue with compassion, fostering healing within the conversation. I steadfastly oppose divisive systems that pit the oppressed against each other. Every family matters. Every child has the right to grow up nurtured by their family, steeped in the richness of their culture and traditions. Because silence is not an option, we must act. We have a duty to our families, to ourselves, to create a better future. Thank you @go4esther for your strength, grace and mentorship. My sis you’re an exemplary leader in this everyday battle for everyone in this state and movement for justice.
