Governor Walz Declares Day of Unity

[ST. PAUL, MN] – Governor Tim Walz today proclaimed today (Friday, January 9, 2026) as a Day of ​Unity, inviting all Minnesotans and Americans to participate in acts of service in honor and remembrance of Renee Nicole Good.

Good died after being shot by an ICE agent this week in Minneapolis.

“Renee Nicole Good was a loving mother, partner, daughter, and neighbor whose life was defined by compassion, creativity, and care for others,” said Governor Walz.  “While we cannot bring back Renee Nicole Good, we can honor her life by standing together for decency, democracy, compassion, and our shared values. I invite all Minnesotans and Americans to join me in a day of unity, and honoring her with a moment of silence and participating in acts of service.”

Governor Walz encourages individuals, businesses, faith institutions, and organizations to observe a moment of silence at 10:00 am, and use the day to connect in your community and engage in acts of service.
