TRANSCRIPT
Minnesota's system of supports for people with disabilities, those with chronic illness, and older adults has been collapsing for several years. In November 2021, I lost my apartment and needed to move into a group home, losing most of my personal possessions, my privacy, my freedoms, and a lot of control over my life.

Even though I've sought refuge in a group home, I'm still struggling to be safe and healthy, just like so many others relying on support in their private homes, assisted living communities, group homes, or nursing homes. Dignity seems like an unreachable luxury.

You can help us improve health, safety, and dignity for all Minnesotans. Connect, inform, encourage, and empower! Thank you!
