statement from jason garcia - taylordahlin.com/f/statement-... @jason4parks.bsky.social

NEW EPISODE: we've seen Mayor Frey go from "end homelessness" to crushing encampments and endorsing a position expanding incarceration for folks experiencing serious mental illness. It's 2025 and a Trump executive order takes the same position. How did we get here? millcityhall.com/episodes/202...

I’m happy to announce I’ll be tabling at the Open Streets Hennepin event on September 20! The event runs from 11am-5pm on Hennepin between 26th St and 34th St. If you’d like to help out, email me at [email protected] to sign up for a shift!

If you're trying to figure out your Minneapolis Park Board votes -- it's important assuming you love our parks! -- the Minneapolis Area DFL Senior Caucus is holding an event with all the candidates September 29 at ML King Park, 40th & Nicollet. Details here: www.mplsdflseniors.org/index.php/ev...

A few days ago, the Southwest Connectir published a piece about the District 4 park board race- you can read about what @gebo4parkboard.bsky.social and I think are priorities and what we’d like to see happen to move the park board forward. www.swconnector.com/stories/park...

For our community member involved at today’s horrific shooting-

There's a vigil tonight at 8pm, Lynnhurst Park, for victims of the Annunciation shooting. It's being organized by Moms Demand Action and Protect MN. Please share to your networks. #minneapolis #twincities #mpls

A statement from Senator Zaynab Mohamed on the shooting Minneapolis.

I don’t live in park district 5, but this is the kind of energy I want to see from every park board candidate! Vote Kay for Park District 5. And also vote Jason Chavez for Ward 9.

This is a great thread about the proposed designs for the Lake Hiawatha area redesign. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something important and our feedback will make a huge difference for us and future generations. Please review the plans and give your feedback at the linked survey!

I’m beyond thrilled to have the endorsement of MFE Local 59! We can do so much more to build better relationships between our parks and schools and provide valuable and NECESSARY services to the youth in our community. I appreciate the educators and the union for standing behind me this year!

Yes - we do need this money- help out if you can-

Clean up with Katie is back and this time we’re headed to the Mall park in Uptown! Join us tomorrow for a neighborhood clean up followed by a chat at Pimento on the lake.

$70/$600! thank you, friends and comrades 🌼 shares are greatly appreciated, let’s close this gap and help these beloved folks out!

hi! i am fundraising for two very close friends of mine, @dilettante-oji.bsky.social & their wife. they need some help making rent — they're $600 short. if you donate $20+, i'll send you mail. venmo + paypal: @allisonannecollage write RAT or use rat emoji in the description

As we approach the fall, campaigns will be heating up! Please donate to our coordinated campaign to help our Labor- and DFL-endorsed park board slate bring worker and people oriented change to our parks! Let’s build a bulwark against Trump and Miller this fall! secure.actblue.com/donate/mpls-...

It’s been very exciting seeing how many people are active this weekend around so many great progressive candidates. I love seeing neighbors out for @dewayneforminneapolis.com @omarfatehmn.com @aurinmpls.bsky.social @elliottpayne.org @michaelforparks.bsky.social @engy5150.bsky.social and more!

It’s important to remember that very few of our races are between just two people this year! Ranking Davis/Fateh/Hampton in some order is important and we need to keep reminding our friends & neighbors about that. If you’re here in District 4, remember to rank me and @gebo4parkboard.bsky.social!

Don’t worry about it

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Please join me for this important event! I’ll be taking this tour with @wedge.live and Jake Werner to see the encroachments first-hand.

That feel when you’re just casually reading The Flyover and suddenly get to a whole section about you that you didn’t know was going to be there 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thanks @racketmn.com!

We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor. We deserve better.

If we want to beat Trump and facism, we need a DFL party that puts people over party insiders, money, and factionalism. If you're feeling disaffected, I get it, but the answer is to get more involved, not less. If you want to fight for a better DFL, sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Here are your winners… and STILL LABOR AND DFL-ENDORSED CANDIDATES FOR PARK BOARD Amber Frederick @michaelforparks.bsky.social @olsenforparks.bsky.social @engy5150.bsky.social Ira Jourdain and Jason Garcia

A good campaign is about bringing people together, and I appreciate seeing so many of my favorite people in one place last night!

Everyone should be like Gus and support @jason4parks.bsky.social!

Pinning ceremony for gus! Vote @jason4parks.bsky.social for mpls parks!!!!!!

I also want to say how thankful I am for the support of many wonderful trans and queer people tonight. It filled my heart to the brim seeing all of your beautiful faces in the crowd and knowing you have my back in this. I love you all, so much!

Thank you to everyone who came to HAMMOCKSTRAVAGANZA! tonight, it meant the world to me to see you all and talk about the future of our park system! They’re not on here but I want to give a special thanks to my friend Blaise who spoke eloquently in the city’s Indigenous language of Dakhóta.

Just had such a lovely time hanging out and chatting with Jason. Today was a heavy day for everyone who cares about the future of Minneapolis. Seeing and supporting my friend in their element felt so powerful. I know when they win they're gonna do so fucking well. Let's show up for the good ones.

💜 Ward 4 is at a crossroads. Right now, our community can either continue down a path of politics as usual where too many families are priced out, safety is reduced to policing alone, and the Northside’s voice is ignored or we can choose a new direction. I’m running to bring that change.

I hope to see you all at HAMMOCKSTRAVAGANZA! If you can’t attend, you can still support our Labor and DFL park board candidates by donating to our coordinated campaign at the link below! secure.actblue.com/donate/mpls-...

I just want to remind everyone who follows and appreciates the work @taylordahlin.com does in local journalism that she is a freelancer and usually does this reporting for absolutely no money. She is also still recovering from cancer and surgery. Support Taylor’s recovery and follow up care!

Hammockstravaganza is in 1 day. How important is it? Jason Garcia is someone I would cross legal & ethical lines to help. For example, I would do political activity for Jason from my cubicle at the Hennepin Co Sheriff's Office - if that was the place I worked. It's not. But if it was, I would.

i'm hoping to make it to this tomorrow, and i hope to see y'all there!
