Dear FairVote Minnesota Community,
Following the tragedies of this past weekend, we have all found way own private ways to process and grieve. Melissa Hortman was a leader and a champion for democracy. She and Mark will be missed not only by those who knew them, but also by the many thousands of people who were impacted by their work. I want to invite you all to join us at an event this evening where we can all gather together at the place where so much of that work took place. We will be meeting with other mourners from across the state from 8:00pm to 9:30pm on the steps of the State Capitol for a candlelight vigil. |
This is a memorial, not a protest. Melissa's colleagues who are organizing the event ask that you bring your own candles, but do not bring signs of any kind.
Our thoughts continue to be with Melisa and Mark's children, John and Yvette Hoffman, and their families. If you want to support the Hortman children during this time, we encourage you to donate to this fund to help cover funeral costs and other expenses. We hope to see you there, Jeanne |
