Statement from CEO Beth Holger

We know that these are incredibly difficult times for all of us – especially for our immigrant neighbors, community members, Link staff and youth.

At The Link we continue to stand with and for our immigrant community – who are our community.

As hard as these times are – we believe that love, inclusion and compassion for one another are stronger than hate, fear, oppression, violence and greed. We see it all of the time including right now with what our community members, faith communities and front line nonprofits (including all of us at The Link) are doing to stand up for and help one another.

We refuse to cower down to oppression, intimidation, violence, hate, political pandering and misinformation and remain committed to our mission, vision and values.

We are also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support coming in from rural, tribal and suburban communities across Minnesota along with support from all over the country.

At The Link our Founders instilled in us to “do whatever it takes” and that is exactly what we already do 24 x 7 and in times like these we rise up even stronger and stand with our community – with love, compassion, strength and motivation for positive change, healing and justice.
