On Monday, April 6 Governor Walz announced the launch of a Discrimination Helpline to reinforce the state’s efforts to protect the civil rights of Minnesotans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid rising reports of discrimination from the Asian American community, Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan are working to protect and support Minnesotans who experience or witness bias and discrimination because of their race, ethnicity, disability, or other protected status in their job, housing, or in a public place. The toll-free helpline (1-833-454-0148) will allow those who experience or witness bias and discrimination to report incidents to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. The helpline is staffed Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
