ISAIAH's Faith in Democracy!

A few weeks into MN’s “State of Peacetime Emergency” regarding COVID-19, childcare centers struggle to remain open as they are both critical to frontline worker families and suffering their own decades long financial crisis. A childcare provider in Greater Minnesota, a provider in the Twin Cities and a state representative who’s championed the legislature for more childcare funding, physically distance but socially connect, for a conversation on how Minnesotans can care for those who’ve been caring for our families - before, during and after this crisis.

A Minnesotan-immigrant mom who was separated from her son at the border, a clergywoman whose congregation made the choice to be Sanctuary Supporting and a Minneapolis city council member whose residents want safety for everyone (documented or not) have gathered in a studio to reveal how you have the power to create a state that recognizes everyone’s dignity – whether MN born or new comer.Featuring:Lizette (ISAIAH leader in Sanctuary)Alejandra Hernandez Chavez (ISAIAH, translator)Rev.
