Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

While regular families count every dollar at the grocery store, billionaires are paying lower tax rates than the people ringing them up. Politicians made that choice. They work for the wealthy instead of you. I want to change who Washington works for.
