Missions Inc.Featured, Publications

Missions Inc. Programs is an anti-violence organization. Daily, we work to end violence against all people both in our work in domestic abuse and by providing services and housing to those experiencing substance use disorders.

As a statement of our values to affirm human worth, foster self-determination, value diversity and seek social justice, we condemn the violent actions of those who stormed the United States Capitol Building on Wednesday, January 6. We condemn their violence, their racism and their antisemitism.

We know our residents and staff are impacted by the violent actions of those who participated in these riots, particularly the residents and staff of Hart House, located in St. Paul, who spent their weekend in fear of similar violence and hate speech at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Missions Inc. is committed to our work of anti-violence, anti-racism and the end of bigotry in our communities, our country and across the world.
