The Lake Street Council condemns the divisive rhetoric and actions targeting our Somali, East African, and Latino community members, along with the many other communities facing discrimination and attacks on their rights and dignity. These neighbors are integral to the fabric of our business community and neighborhood. They are business owners, employees, customers, valued residents, and families who contribute immeasurably to what makes Lake Street special. We stand with all marginalized communities and will continue to support them.
