Facts. Legislative races in MN will make all the difference in how the next two years (and beyond) looks for our state. Right now we have a 1 seat DFL majority. Every one of the DFL incumbents have held the line for LGBTQ+ rights and voted in favor of work to move our communities forward.

"We got here, in part, because too many Democrats have been weak." - Our DFL-endorsed candidate for US Senate, Peggy Flanagan, speaking truth to power in Rochester.

We just need more time! This Transformation Plan is feeling very rushed! Let’s make sure community and caregivers are given a real opportunity to be heard. Making sure all decision makers, and those affected, have as much information as possible. #MPS #Minneapolis #PublicSchools

Today, we learned that Congresswoman Craig would not be joining us at the DFL endorsing convention in Rochester. If you can’t face your own party, you’re not ready to face a Republican. I’ll still be working hard to earn your endorsement. I hope to see you there!

What’s a BBQ without friends? Join @ilhanmn.bsky.social anmn alongside DFL-endorsed candidates for school board, @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social and @beccaforschools.bsky.social for a Summer Kickoff and BBQ! Saturday, June 6th @ 1:00 PM. RSVP for location: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

I signed A Better DFL's Pledge for Trans Liberation because Trans people belong everywhere! I am committed to making MPS a safe and welcoming environment to all students! www.thepledgefortransliberation.org

Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department. A day that changed our city, our country, and the lives of so many forever. Today is a day for grief, rage, reflection, and remembrance. George Floyd should still be alive.

Some of us MPS board candidates, caregivers, & educators are reading “As Public As Possible” together; it’s sparking so many ideas! I cannot recommend David Backer’s book enough. Hear him on the “Have You Heard” pod here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... & here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

George Floyd was murdered 6 years ago on May 25th - Memorial Day. The 6th annual Rise & Remember Festival will take place at George Floyd Square on Monday, the first year Memorial Day has landed on the 25th since. Thought i'd share some of my past photos: chaddavis.photography/sets/rise-an...

tomorrow night is the culmination of the rise and remember festival marking the 6th anniversary of george floyd's murder by minneapolis police. brass solidarity band leading a processional from the square to the say their names cemetery is always such a wonderful moment

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.

If you want to know more about the Domestic Abuse Service Center and what they offer, the HCAO podcast has an episode with a good segment on it.

THANK YOU MINNEAPOLIS! ON TO NOVEMBER!!!

Working alongside MFE to advance shared priorities has expanded my vision of what’s possible when people come together. We strengthen our community through connection and commitment to collective well‑being. A thriving Minneapolis depends on thriving public schools, and thriving public schools...

It has been a profound honor to stand alongside our educators on the picket line, organizing families to show up, rallying at school board meetings, and speaking publicly in support of MFE. Despite the crisis we are facing, there is so much good happening in our schools, which I see in the work...

Council Member Wonsley is an effective, efficient legislator. She understands the needs of her constituents and is constantly working to achieve their goals, while never sacrificing the foundational values her community expects to see represented. I hope to lead with the strength she does! 💙💙💙

When I decided to get into this race, it was to make sure our MPS kids have access to the best education we can provide. That means fully investing in our public schools, being accountable to community, and building relationships at the legislature to get it done. Let’s get to work!

Senator Zaynab Mohamed is leading on bills at the Capitol that will address funding shortfalls at MPS. Throughout Metro Surge, Sen Mohamed provided daily updates to our community making sure we knew what was going on. She spearheaded mutual aid drives...

Very excited to receive the endorsement of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE), along with brilliant and caring friends and colleagues like @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social @beccaforschools.bsky.social Abdul Abdi and Collin Beachy. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Zaynab’s dedication to serving her constituents is something I deeply appreciate. During the ICE invasion, her office worked tirelessly to help families at my son’s high school get the food they needed after hiding in their homes for weeks. I will never forget that.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that @ilhanmn.bsky.social is endorsing @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social (At Large), @shannon-for-d3.bsky.social (District 3) and @beccaforschools.bsky.social (District 5) for Minneapolis School Board.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is the type of leader I want to be. Since her days at the MN legislature, Congresswoman Omar has been consistent, courageous, committed to the people she serves, and passionately lead from the grassroots up. Receiving her endorsement is a great honor.

Congresswoman Ihan Omar has been a heroine to me for as long as she has been in office! She is brilliant, strategic, strong, and bold in her governance, and I could not be happier to have her support. @teamilhan.bsky.social @ilhanmn.bsky.social

It is such an honor to have the support of Congresswoman Omar. She is the type of leader I want to be - courageous, bold, creative, dedicated to finding real solutions for her constituents. It means so much to know that she believes in our campaign to bring out the best in Minneapolis Public Schools

I am honored to have the endorsement of a leader like Commissioner Angela Conley. She brings the type of energy and expertise I aspire to have on School Board!

Commissioner Conley has set a great example for what strong local leadership looks like, and I'm so grateful for her support. I'm eager for the opportunity to work with her for our schools.

Delegates! With convention fast approaching, we want to get to know you and hear all your questions about the school board! Come meet the progressive candidates running to represent you! We hope you can join us for coffee and community. With @beccaforschools.bsky.social as well!

Today may be Trans Day of Visibility, but we will fight for our trans students every single day!
