I’m grateful that Susan Du covered this story. Honestly it was liberating to talk about after years of suffering. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

The Council and Clerks need to schedule another meeting before the end of term so that This Council can take action on the vetoes expected tomorrow. @elliottpayne.org @aishaforward10.com

TBH, this is on the council too for not scheduling another adjourned meeting, just in case.

The City Council scheduled an override session yesterday to consider the Mayor’s vetoes. Instead, Mayor Frey waited until there were no more council meetings to prohibit an overturn of the humane encampment response ordinance (even though he said he would veto it last week). 1/

The final public hearing on the budget will take place during a City Council meeting tomorrow evening. Mark your calendars!

Won’t be crossing the Starbucks picket line for a plastic bear cup…. Cmon people 🤦‍♀️

@katiecashman.bsky.social coming through with an excellent proposal for public bathrooms along Nicollet. It's a known issue; here's how we fix it: www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

FYI: If you have news tips regarding ICE activity in the Twin Cities, especially if you have friends or relatives who have been detained, please contact me securely on Signal.

117,000 people live within half a mile of the E line, opening for service today. It marks the 8th BRT line in the region and the third new BRT line that Metro Transit has opened this year. Transit is getting better every single day in MN.

Welcome to the world, METRO E Line, and thanks to those who came out for our first trips!

Aurin Chowdhury rebutting Michael Rainville on his "defund the police" accusation. MPD has done nothing but ramp their budget off the chart. And then overspent that budget by $20 million. "That's the opposite of defunding the police. So let's give it a break."

I have a grand total of zero patience left for the top paid city staff in charge of community safety not being able to answer basic questions about crime trends and personnel allocations as we deliberate our budget.

Proud of everybody expressing their rights and telling ICE to get lost. ICE is not welcome in MPLS. Stay strong everyone.

Reflection from today & what I’ve learned thus far💜

The City of Minneapolis has declared a Snow Emergency starting tonight. No parking allowed on either side of snow emergency streetsbetween 9pm & 8am tomorrow. These streets have red snow emergency route signs & blue street name signs. More parking rules here: www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-arou...

In other Hennepin Ave news some of us who were involved in project advocacy had our own little ribbon cutting a few weeks ago. The new street is a reminder that trying is cool & sometimes pals doing a lot of smart, consistent, unpaid work (I did just a small bit) results in something great

I haven’t read the article yet but this photo is so cute and shows how truly happy @aishaforward10.com and I were to see this city project succeed and come through to fruition for our people on either side of Hennepin 🙏

"A lack of public seating disproportionately impacts older adults and people with disabilities, who may need more frequent rest as they navigate the city," Elizabeth Abramson writes.

We welcomed @mollycoleman.bsky.social to the Transportation Advisory Board today! It’s been great serving on this regional board with so many amazing community leaders. Today we’re voting on how hundreds of millions of regional transportation spending will be allocated for the next 5 years 🚌🚲

So happy to support an affordable housing trust fund award to trellis for their adaptive reuse of the flour exchange building in ward 7. More housing coming downtown in a former office, a beautiful building right by city hall!

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I’m sad to deliver the news that we unfortunately did not win our campaign for re-election. I have called the new Council Member-elect and wished her well. My term will be ending at the end of December this year, and I plan to use the next two months to do as much as I can for Ward 7 residents.

Out door knocking with @katiecashman.bsky.social who had to stop to pick up trash. Still time to send her back to city hall for another 4 years. You’ll never see her opponents doing this #votedorkatie

i just ran into emily koski as she was leaving from canvassing apartments in loring park for katie cashman and the mayoral slate. cashman has a strong strong game here and bringing in great support @katiecashman.bsky.social

Great energy on Election Day! You can vote until 8. If you haven't made a plan to vote, make one. After that, reach out to three friends, relatives, or neighbors to go vote, too!

katie cashman and supporters - including andrew gebo, running for parks district 4 - wave signs at drivers on the corner of hennepin & franklin ave on the morning of election day @katiecashman.bsky.social @gebo4parkboard.bsky.social

Huge news at Hennipen and Franklin, we have captured the coveted Female Trucker demographic for @katiecashman.bsky.social

I'm also incredibly proud to be endorsed by so many members of the Minnesota Legislature, especially the ones who represent us in Ward 7. Collaboration with the Legislature is critical for so many issues facing our city, whether it is taking actions on gun control, local government aid, or...

Building relationships that get things done across all levels of government is critical to continue getting things done for Ward 7. I'm proud to be endorsed by many of our Hennepin County Commissioners.

Ending with a bang! So excited that I get to fight for a progressive Park Board alongside amazing allies like @michaelforparks.bsky.social and @ilhanmn.bsky.social at a Dorm Storm at the U of M. Earlier hit the doors in Bryn Mawr for @katiecashman.bsky.social , seeing serious momentum in Ward 7!

I wanted to take a moment to thank our climate and transit endorsing partners. We must meet the current moment for bold climate action, especially with the Trump administration's total failure to lead on this critical issue. We can take steps to make our communities more climate resilient and...

Thank you Rep. Jamie Long for talking to Cedar-Isles-Dean residents with us tonight - we share a vision for delivering quality public services to help people afford their lives here in Minneapolis! Let’s keep the momentum.

Almost there! We just need $400 more to set up our door knockers for the final two days of this campaign. Please give what you can so we can see this through to the very end! katieforcouncil.org/donate

Wow! We've already raised $800 of our $2k goal. We have more than 40 door knocking shifts scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Give us a hand and help us get our crew the materials they need for the final 48 hours! Donate: katieforcouncil.org/donate

EMERGENCY REQUEST 🚨🗳️: A side effect of having the best door knocking team in the city is that they go through materials like nobody’s business! We’re almost out of flyers, and we need to raise $2k so we can place an order first thing tomorrow morning. Please chip in and spread the word!

I completed my first door canvassing turf of the day! I talked to two new @katiecashman.bsky.social voters! A lot of people not home, and a lot of mail that’s been delivered. But it was good to have a positive chat at the very end! Join us this evening → mobilize.us/s/SltvQx

Started the day strong with Rep. Katie Jones in Uptown talking about our forward momentum and our resilient vision for Minneapolis.

I'm proud to be endorsed by so many members of the MN Legislature. Partnership with them is critical for tax policy, securing funding (particularly with the chaos of the Trump Administration), and being on the same page to coordinate responses to the many issues we face as a community.

Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to “address climate change.” No mention of getting off fossil fuels. Nothing on electrification. Nothing on renewable energy, transit or building housing near transit. Just trees and carbon capture(?). This fluff could have been written by the Koch Bros (1/2)

Team Katie is out in Bryn Mawr today knocking doors and sharing our positive vision for the future! Join us in these final days to have important conversations about the city government we can build together, with all voices at the table 🌳🍁

I first met Jane Fonda on the frontlines of the effort to stop the Line 3 pipeline in 2020. From peace activism to women’s rights to ending fossil fuels, she never stops fighting for our future and I’m so grateful for her support for local climate leadership! 🧡🧡

I’m proud to be running a grassroots, people-centered campaign grounded in our values. Whether you’re pro-choice, pro-LGBTQIA2S+ inclusion, pro-evidence based progressive policies, or any one else who is making Ward 7 a more just and inclusive place, thank you for being a part of our coalition.

Shoutout to the “Boys for Katie” who put in the work today knocking doors in Loring Heights! Five days to go, let’s do this✊

Is national news making you angry or fearful? Channel that energy instead into positive local action 💪 We have power to help elect leaders driven not to cater to wealthy interests but to make the lives of everyday people better. We just have to seize it. Join us: www.mobilize.us/katieforcoun...
