Protesters hold a sign that reads "Stop the Epidemic: No to anti-immigrant laws in Minnesota."

Here in Minnesota, the protest at the State Capitol was led by Native American activists, who drummed and danced to reclaim their sacred land. One speaker said, “For many of us, it’s not that we crossed the borders. It’s that borders crossed us!”

About ten folks identified with Standing on the Side of Love, including the Revs. Victoria Safford and Kent Saleska, and SSL’s former campaign manager Adam Gerhardstein were in the crowd. As ever, many asked questions about our message, and said how much they
appreciated love coming to the rally!
