Today is #ThankYouThursday where we give some love to the amazing community partners that support our work. Today, we want to give a shout-out to C.H. Robinson. They have generously partnered with Tubman since 2008 to support our work in service to survivors of domestic violence experiencing homelessness. Thank you!!!

"'We can write all the laws in the world but until we start taking women's lives seriously and valuing them and believing them, we're going to keep having more tragedy,'' Cassidy said. "Illinois is taking this view into account with a series of new laws. Only New York and California — and now Oklahoma — have comparable resentencing statutes, although efforts to change laws are underway in several other states." https://heyor.ca/hH9P9A

"'A shelter is being closed down right before holiday season. Let’s think about that for a second. That means people that’s been living together for years have to find a new family right during the holidays.'" https://heyor.ca/k9jEu5

REMINDER: Tubman's administrative offices in Minneapolis and Maplewood, including virtual services and the NorthStar Youth Outreach Center at Maplewood Mall, will be CLOSED on Monday, September 2, in observance of Labor Day.
