Dear Neighbors,???

I've really enjoyed the opportunity during the interim to engage with the community and get back into my comfort zone with organizing. Pride month was a great opportunity to connect with queer folks across the state and talk about the work we're doing to make our communities more inclusive. A highlight from Pride was joining Rep. Ilhan Omar at OutFront Minnesota?s celebration. It was joyous sharing space with exceptional leaders in our LGBTQIA2S+ community.??

The Queer Legislative Caucus accomplished a lot this year, but there's still more work to be done.??

Here's what I've been up to:?

*PRIDE Month*?

It was an honor to walk in this year?s Twin Cities Pride Parade. It's such an important event to celebrate the LGBTQIAS2+ community and our progress towards equality. Marching alongside my friends and allies and showing the world that we are proud to be who we are was extremely rewarding. As a community, we came together to collectively say to our LGBTQIA2S+ community, you belong here.??

*Press and Publications?*?

Getting to share my story and experience with others in our community and communities across the nation has been a dream come true. I hope my story uplifts and inspires the next generation of leaders and champions in the LGBTQIA2S+ community to be fearlessly authentic and never give up hope.?

*Keystone Community Food Center?*?

I was happy to join Mayor Carter and city councilmembers to break new ground on the Keystone Community Food Center. My bill HF 1265 [ [link removed] ] invested $2.6 million in their program. Keystone is making a real difference in the lives of people in our community. They are working to end hunger and strengthen our communities, one meal at a time.? I would like to thank Keystone for their important work, and I encourage you to get involved with their efforts. There are many ways to help, from volunteering your time to donating food or money. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against hunger.?
