A line went out the door of the St. Cloud State University Welcome Center as people waited for sambusas, tea, signs and conversation at #UniteCloud's Sambusa Sunday.

#UniteCloud, a grassroots community organization, held the event to promote dialogue after the election and the appearance of signs around town that were targeted at certain immigrant and refugee communities.
During the event #UniteCloud provided attendees with sambusas, a Somali pastry, and Somali tea. The organization also handed yard signs that say "Love Your Neighbor," in hopes it will prompt residents to have conversation about the different cultures living within St. Cloud.
