Racism has no home in Minnesota.

That’s why racial discrimination is prohibited in employment, housing, government services, schools, and public places.

During #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth and every month, our message is clear: living a life free of sexual harassment and assault is every Minnesotan’s civil right.

As a kid, my family used a Section 8 housing voucher. I know firsthand how many barriers low-income renters face.

To protect Minnesotans like Maria, we need to get the Housing Stability Act over the finish line.

The Housing Stability Act ensures Minnesotans like Maria aren’t denied housing because they receive rental assistance.

It’s #AutismAcceptanceMonth ! We #CelebrateDifferences and the neurodiversity in autistic Minnesotans across the state.

It takes all of us to create a more inclusive state where autistic people can thrive and be their full, authentic selves.
