Sonya Funna Evelyn, CVT president and CEO, published this opinion article in the Minnesota Star Tribune, calling attention to today’s recognition of the UN Int’l Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Sonya comments on what she saw when she began her work with CVT in January during the height of the federal ICE immigration violence in Minnesota. She writes about what she saw and what CVT clients and the broader community were experiencing, but also how people responded, writing, “But as I stepped out of that Minneapolis hotel on Jan. 26, past the boarded windows and remnants of anti-ICE scrawlings, I could see that the people were not willing to accept the actions of the government.”
