In general, How do you feel about individual freedoms and protecting them? Most of us probably hear the word freedom and think freedom is good. In general, if we have individual freedoms that gives us the opportunity to do what we would like without interference from the outside. For instance, the freedom to choose our own church is a freedom that we greatly appreciate. So, individual freedoms are generally a good thing.

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.

No document is that powerful, but it has given victims of these abuses power to obtain justice within the judicial system, but many people have not gained access to this process. These rights are just a few of the rights that effect domestic violence and sex trafficking victims every day. These rights are taken from people who deal with victimization each and every day. 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

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. It is imperative we use this surplus to give meaningful tax relief to every Minnesota family and business.”

7:15 p.m. The center atrium at the mall. A large, temporary structure houses “The North Pole”, an ad-hoc collection of holiday lights and fake snow. Rob weaves his way past a “Closed” sign, through the short maze where a line usually forms, and pokes his head behind the curtain.
