The national debate today is whether people should be able to live free from fear, here in America. Whether the soundbites of the day are about the citizens of Ferguson, refugees from Syria and other conflicts, or a young man here in Minneapolis, Ilhan will always fight for the rights of the oppressed and against the hate that seeks to divide us. Every person deserves to live in a safe community and realize the American dream. We need more leaders like Ilhan. You can help get her elected - donat
