On Tuesday, Dec. 6, Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) released its November 2022 Forecast projecting a massive $17.6 billion surplus. Senator Gary Dahms (R-Redwood Falls) released the following statement: “The surplus shows government is doing well,” Dahms said. “Unfortunately, many Minnesotans aren’t doing well with record inflation, high taxes, and a looming recession.

To most Americans, human rights feel like a basic necessity in their lives. Privilege is often the most common reason many people feel that basic human rights are essentially in place for all people. Universal Human Rights month is to raise awareness about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration was established in 1948, adopted by the United Nations, and is the most translated document in the world. The Universal Declaration promises to all the economic, social, political, cultural and civic rights that underpin a life free from want and fear. This was created to protect the rights of people worldwide. There are 30 rights that the declaration states are for all people regardless of any discriminating factors. Just a few of these rights are freedom from torture, freedom of slavery, right to health, right of equality between men and women, and right to liberty and security. Obviously, the creation of this document did not end human rights violations. It should be known that it also obviously has made a difference in some people’s lives.

Each of the Universal Human Rights can and are affected by these crimes. We encourage all people to read the declaration to truly feel what basic rights people within their communities do not have the privilege of having within their daily living. Domestic violence victims and sex trafficking victims face many barriers and many of the rights that have been taken from them can and do affect their ability to be free from abuse. Human trafficking is modern day slavery here in the United States, in our local counties and in our local towns. These victi
