Great to see inspiring young leaders like Rep Vang at API Day @ the Capitol & to hear that our Asian Pacific caucus wants the same things as all Minnesotans: a state that welcomes immigrants, equitable education, access to health care and strong voter rights.

Thx Rep Mariani for strong leadership on Post Conviction Relief for MN refugee communities. If it is good for Cambodian, Filipinx, Lao, Puerto Rican & Mexican families, it is good for MN. API Day @ the Capitol.

Inspired to be here with kids of many cultures demanding access to equitable sustainable and culturally relevant pre-K education. Seeing the face of our future reminds me why we fight so hard. Our legislators need to remember that Kids Count On Us!

What my mom needs for #MothersDay is to know that her kids have access to child care and health care so they can care for themselves and their families. #MNLeg can make it happen this session. #FullyFundCCAP #HealthCare4All ISAIAH

Great turnout at Whipple to oppose family separation and inhumane detention. I want to believe that most Minnesotans and Americans agree but my faith is shaken. I need to get to work to rekindle it. I hope you join me. #LightsforLiberty

.#MNisOurHome - regardless of immigration status. Today, America took a blow to safety & due process by Trump - he continues cultivating a toxic atmosphere of fear & division, attempting to break the spirits of immigrant populations & those who love them. thinkprogress.org/expedited-remo…

Proud to be part of another census doorknock in north Minneapolis with AAOP and the State of MN. Need to make sure every resident is counted, seen and heard. #WeCountMN

In the midst of so much darkness, to be with St Joan of Arc and ICOM at a detention center vigil brings my heart light and hope.

It is on days like today that I am so proud to be a Catholic. The gospel is clear. If Jesus were reborn today, it would be as a refugee from a war torn place like Syria. How would we welcome Him? #WDMR2019 #JesusWasARefugee

Thank you Pope Leo XIV for reminding us that every family deserves to be welcomed in new lands, just as my family from the Philippines was. #WDMR2019

Inspired to hear Rico’s story at Henn Cty District 4 forum. You can’t heal from generational trauma as an individual, you do it in community. Our sheriff and district attorney must play a more restorative role. Thank you ISAIAH and Angela Conley for collaborating on this event.

Excited to hear ⁦Angela Conley⁩ talk about going beyond immigrant legal defense toward a full sanctuary county model that provides sustainable legal defense and holds ICE responsible for their behavior on county property. Hennepin Cty must stand with immigrant residents. ⁦

Inspired and honored to be starting a vigil with ICOM, the Minnesota Council of Churches and the Episcopal Church in Minnesota to decry the dehumanizing treatment of immigrants within a building named after Bishop Henry Whipple. What Would Whipple Do?

All people of faith must stand together to demand that Congress immediately pass a clean DREAM Act bill. #DACA facebook.com/ISAIAHMN/posts…

Excited to support Muslim Day on the hill. Beautiful reminder that our diversity is our strength. I thank our Islamic neighbors for demanding a better Minnesota for all.

Standing with our neighbors, we shall not be moved. #PoorPeoplesCampaign

We’re telling the truth about this monument to colonization today. #PoorPeoplesCampaign

Amazing people of faith steadfast in welcoming the stranger even if it means arrest. #PoorPeoplesCampaign

Light rail outside Whipple blocked by ppl of faith to disrupt our immoral deportation regime #PoorPeoplesCampaign
