As Mayor of Minneapolis, I am pleased to extend warm greetings on behalf of our citizens to those gathering today for World Falun Dafa Month.
I know many residents of Minneapolis and surrounding area are enjoying practicing Falun Dafa, an ancient form of exercise and meditation. I hope that the events you have planned for today are successful and that your goals for celebrating and sharing the principles of Falun Dafa are achieved.
I join many elected leaders across the country in opposing the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China. I hope that 2014 World Falun Dafa Month brings heightened awareness to the peaceful appeals of practitioners around the world to end the illegal detainment to practitioners in China.
Congratulations again as you gather to celebrate World Falun Dafa Month on May 13, 2014 at the State Capitol.
Sincerely,Mayor Betsy HodgesCity of Minneapolis
