About the North STAR Coalition <br />The North STAR Coalition includes dozens of faith-based and social justice organizations representing more than one million <br />Minnesota residents statewide who see this legislation as an urgent moral imperative that will benet us all. Alliance members <br />believe in the dignity of every human being, without exception. We’ve supported people in ICE detention, helped newly arriving <br />families nd their footing, rendered legal aid, posted bail, met with representatives, organized in our communities, and helped win <br />drivers licenses for all. <br />Our Mission <br />To ensure that all immigrants in the state of Minnesota can live their lives with the dignity, safety, and respect we all deserve through <br />supporting legislation that protects immigrant communities from unrestricted federal overreach of local and state law enforcement. <br />Our Values <br />Safety <br />Safety is created through valuing difference and seeking to honor the rights of <br />all people. It is not created by fear of the other that is enforced through exclusion, discrimination and separation. <br />Trust <br />Trust that is earned by being accountable to the people, naming where trust has been damaged and working to repair that <br />trust on the terms of those who have been harmed. <br />Respect <br />Show immigrants the respect they deserve. Ensure people are treated with dignity regardless of their country of origin or <br />immigration status, and challenge people, laws, and institutions which limit people’s ability to live dignied lives. <br /> English
