Standing With Our Community

These are hard days in Minneapolis.  #HEARTMPLS

There’s a lot happening in our city right now, fear, uncertainty, tension and many of our residents, neighbors, clients, and local business owners do not feel safe in their own homes or communities. That weighs on us.

As a company rooted here since 2007,  we want to be clear about where we stand.

At the most basic level, every person deserves to feel safe in their home, in their neighborhood, and while going about daily life. Right now, that sense of safety is missing for many people around us.

We may not all see things the same way, but we can agree on this: our city needs empathy, calm leadership, and people willing to stand with their community, not turn away from it.

This is a moment to show who we are.

That can look different for each of us:

• Checking in on clients, tenants, coworkers, and neighbors
• Supporting local businesses that are struggling
• Being patient, respectful, and thoughtful in how we communicate
• Showing up with compassion, even when conversations are uncomfortable

We don’t expect anyone to have all the answers. We do expect ourselves to lead with humanity.

Minneapolis is our home. The people who live and work here matter. Let’s continue to be a company that stands with our community, especially when it’s hard. 

Thank you for showing up the way you do, every day.
