Civil rights are the foundation of our democracy, protecting them isn’t optional, it’s essential. I will always stand up for the rights of every Minnesotan to live free from discrimination and injustice, no matter their race, gender, faith, or background.

At a time when MAGA extremists are working to roll back hard-won rights, we must stand united in defending equality, freedom, and justice for all.

As someone who has spent her career standing up for fairness, accountability, and justice, I know that protecting civil rights means safeguarding the very heart of who we are as a nation.
