A message from Council Member Chavez

Dear neighbor,

I have some devastating news to share with you. This morning, Governor Tim Walz, Senator Erin Murphy, and Representative Melissa Hortman signed off on a deal that would strip healthcare away from immigrants who are undocumented (adults). This is a heartbreaking day for immigrants, families, and our neighbors. We cannot let this happen as many of our community members will have serious life complications. As we continue to see our immigrant community demonized at the national level, it's unfortunate that state leaders are following similar paths. 

Here is the information of decision makers you can call to express your opinions and to support your neighbors:

  • Governor Tim Walz: 651-201-3400
  • Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy: 651-296-5931
  • Representative Melissa Hortman: 651-296-4280
