Take action to ensure equitable funding for older adults in greatest need.

Date: April 30, 2023,

Dear Board on Aging Members,

My name is %first_name% %last_name%. I am a member of Oromo community and I support equity.
The Oromo Community has 40,000 members in Minnesota. We are a growing and vibrant community.
We struggle to find services to serve our elders, especially transportation and special access services.

Please change the IFF by increasing the minority factor to 20 percent.

Thank you.
