Statement by The Rockefeller Foundation on Events in Minnesota

Recent events in Minnesota, including the fatal shootings of two people, have shaken Americans across the political spectrum. The Rockefeller Foundation encourages those in positions of authority to work together to restore faith in constitutional protections, to de-escalate tensions, and to prevent additional violence. Our institution has long been proud to support organizations, including in Minnesota and the Twin Cities, that advance dignity and the well-being of humanity in the United States and throughout the world. We will continue to work with partners to build a country in which the constitutional rights of all Americans are protected, and they can work freely toward a brighter future for their families.
