The Rally acknowledged and expressed deepest sympathy to the families of Minnesota House Representative Melissa Hortman and State Senator John Hoffman. The Rally also remembered the 5,990 residents of long term care facilities who lost their lives when Covid patients were allowed in, but families were not. 

We must never forget those who have been victims of involuntary, for-profit, abusive, fraudulent guardianships and conservatorships and no longer are with us. There is no excuse for abuse. 

We must respect and protect the human rights of our elders.
