January 16, 2026 at 2:18 AM
This weekend, please protest peacefully and thoughtfully. Do not engage with counter protestors and do not escalate - that won’t help your immigrant neighbors.

We know of countless families who are better off because of Gov. Walz’s school meals, paid family leave, and college tuition policies. He’s given so many hope for a brighter future - the kind we all want to live in. We thank him for his service and know he’ll set the next leader up for success.
