As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Operation Metro Surge is state-sanctioned racial profiling used as a tool of political intimidation.

But Somali Minnesotans aren’t intimidated, we’re brave and resilient, and our neighbors have our back.
