For residents of Minnesota's senior care facilities, one of the most wrenching aspects of the pandemic has been their extreme isolation from loved ones. Since late March, visitors have been all but banned from nursing homes and assisted-living facilities across the state. Family members have been forced to leave care packages outside locked doors and wave at residents from a distance. Many have been forced to limit visits to remote video feeds. "It has been utterly heartbreaking," said Jean...
Ibrahim Demmaj listened as Democratic legislators and city leaders stood by the rubble of his Minneapolis furniture store on Monday to debut a roughly $300 million plan to help rebuild communities damaged by arson, vandalism and looting. "We need your help; we need your support. We don't want to be relocated," Demmaj said of his business near the corner of Chicago Avenue and Lake Street, an area hit hard by the unrest that followed George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody. Minnesota...
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a landmark civil rights law protects gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in employment, a resounding victory for LGBT rights from a conservative court. The court decided by a 6-3 vote that a key provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 known as Title VII that bars job discrimination because of sex, among other reasons, encompasses bias against LGBT workers. "An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or...
A Minneapolis community nonprofit is suing the city to stop the development of a project it believes will disproportionately harm the health of people of color. The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, Inc. filed suit Friday in Hennepin County District Court against the city and the Minneapolis Public Works Department over the Hiawatha Campus Expansion Project. The city decided that an assessment to evaluate the project’s environmental impact was not necessary, and violated state and federal laws by failing to apply for construction permits w...
The Minnesota Legislature was once a lonely place for state Rep. Rena Moran. After her election in 2010, the St. Paul Democrat was the only black woman serving in the 134-member state House. Just seven of 201 state lawmakers identified as minorities. "It was taxing," she said. "We [were] trying to represent communities of color's voices through legislative policy and practice and that can get lost in a body of 134 individuals." By 2017, the share of lawmakers from communities of color had...
WASHINGTON - After months away from the campaign trail, President Donald Trump plans to rally his supporters next Saturday for the first time since most of the country was shuttered by the coronavirus. But health experts are questioning that decision. Trump will head to Tulsa, Oklahoma - a state that has seen relatively few COVID-19 cases. Yet the Tulsa City-County Health Department's director told the Tulsa World over the weekend that he wished the Trump campaign would move the date back...

[St. Paul, MN] Today is an important day for civil rights. The U.S. Supreme Court decided in a 6-3 ruling that an employer cannot fire an employee based on their sexual orientation or gender identity under federal law. “Today, the highest court in the country affirmed that discrimination against LGBTQ+ workers is illegal. Since 1993, Minnesota’s civil rights law has prohibited discrimination on the basis of someone’s gender identity or sexual orientation. The decision today by the U.S. Supreme Court echoed this fundamental right,” said Minneso...
WASHINGTON, D.C. | The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) commends the public statement of Washington, D.C.

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) — The Cherokee Nation has removed two confederate monuments from its Capitol Square that were erected nearly a century ago by the Daughters of the Confederacy. A crane removed the monuments from the nation’s tribal headquarters in Tahlequah on Saturday as Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr., watched. “It’s difficult to tell our story when we have non-Indian-driven monuments talking about the Confederacy, when they greet people as they come into our Cherokee Nation museum," Hoskin said in a statement. “It was time for a cha...
WEST ORANGE, NJ - West Orange will remove a monument to Christopher Columbus from a local intersection because it's "divisive" and a "symbol of hate and oppression," Mayor Robert Parisi said. The decision to remove the monument at Valley Road and Kingsley Street comes amid a fierce controversy in West Orange. A pair of petitions – one demanding its removal and another urging its preservation – each gathered hundreds of signatures. Recently, someone hung a sign reading "Murderer" around the 5-f...
