The One Voice Minnesota Monitoring Project: Creating a Blueprint for Welcome Investigates, documents, and assesses how fully Minnesota welcomes all residents. The experiences of immigrants, refugees, and long-term residents in Minnesota will be evaluated against international human rights standards to help create policy recommendations that ensure that Minnesotans' human rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled. The report, to be released in early 2014, will serve as a basis for public discussion and policy advocacy. Find more information about the project here: One Voice Minnesota Monitoring Project. 

To be involved, contact the OVM team at onevoicemn@advrights.org.
