Stop Killing Black Men, Women and Children

Daunte Wright was 20 years old. He was a father. He was with his girlfriend when he was pulled over for a traffic stop. He called his mother during that traffic stop. He had a life in front of him. And that was taken away needlessly when he was shot and killed by former police officer Kim Potter, long-time veteran officer, and former union president. Daunte should be alive today.

Driver’s licenses for all, regardless of immigration status! It’s time! Support HF1500!

When is the last time you used your driver’s license as an ID? For me, it was when I forgot my library card but wanted to check out the books that I had reserved. For you, perhaps it was when you checked in for a medical appointment, entered your child’s school or ordered a drink in a restaurant.

Approximately 82,000 residents of Minnesota are eligible for a driver’s license or state ID, but cannot get one because they are undocumented immigrants. Many have been living here for decades and were able to obtain a driver’s license until Governor Pawlenty changed the law in 2003. Imagine having your driving privileges and access to an ID stripped away. For undocumented immigrants, having access to a Driver’s License or State ID is both a matter of convenience and access and dignity to move around the state.

Elections - Get Involved!

Why I Should Vote

As citizens of the United States we are members of a Democracy, which by definition is a government For the People – By the People. Therefore, the rules that shape our lives are created by US…OR…by those who show up. In this country, even if you don’t physically vote…you are still voting for something.
