Statement in Support of Mask MandateThe Council for Minnesotans of African Heritage supports Governor Tim Walz’s statewide masking requirement. The response from state leaders has helped slow the spread of COVID-19. However, we understand that now is not the time to relent. We must continue to come together and make collective sacrifices. Over the past few months, we’ve come together to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our neighbors. We’ve done it in many ways. We’ve worked from home, grappled with e-learning for our children, forgone trips to the gym, and dealt with isolation and loneliness. We’ve missed milestones of all types, as well as sadder occasions like funerals and good-byes. We did all this together, with the hopes that our shared sacrifice would spare thousands more from illness and death.Last Modified: 7/24/2020 Size: 0Author: Categories: Community, Tags: Publication,
