It's a heavy day to be online but do you know what feels good? Connecting with neighbors and talking about building better futures for our city. Join me for a casual meet & greet in the Wedge and get to know @aishaforward10.com and her vision for Ward 10! Sept 18! www.mobilize.us/aishachughta...

Tomorrow, @robin4mpls.bsky.social and I will celebrate our birthdays with you, and we're excited to have a special guest joining us to close out the night, our future Mayor @omarfatehmn.com. We'll have some treats to share and more available to buy. Register at aishaforward10.con/events

I know some people think it’s offensive for me to celebrate my birthday. Here’s the thing: as a domestic violence survivor, every day of this life is a gift I never imagined I’d have. Every birthday is a reminder of how lucky I am to be here. To another year of learning and growing, inshallah ✨

The last year brought a lot of change—across the US, here in Minneapolis, and in each of our lives, including mine. Through it all, serving Ward 10 is one of the most rewarding, challenging, and transformative experiences of my life. I’m turning 28, and I want to share this milestone with y’all.

Let me just say. Minneapolis is the proud home of so many of our trans and gender nonconforming neighbors, and I hope we continue to grow the community we have here already. Fuck anybody scapegoating trans people in this moment.

I’m heartbroken for everyone impacted by the unspeakable gun violence targeting our children and educators at Annunciation Catholic School. I can’t imagine the profound loss the families and loved ones of the victims are experiencing today. My prayers are with them ♥️

My team and I will be at Whittier Park at 6pm tomorrow to knock some doors and talk to Ward 10 residents about the upcoming local election. Join us! Training and snacks provided, just bring your door knocking shoes! Sign up: aishaforward10.com/events

🚨UPDATE: due to the poor air quality in Minneapolis today, our summer Field Kickoff will now take place virtually via Zoom. Sign up to receive the link to join us at 1pm: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... Stay safe out there!

Join me this Saturday, July 12 from 1-4pm at Whittier Park for our summer Field Kickoff. Let’s hit the doors together and make sure every Ward 10 resident is invited to participate in local democracy! Sign up at aishaforward10.com/events

Big loss for Mayor Frey today. Losing an endorsement from SEIU’s members is monumental. The majority of SEIU members who live or work in Minneapolis are immigrants, women, and/or BIPOC. Congratulations on earning @seiumn.bsky.social support, @omarfatehmn.com! Let’s win, together #1u

Ward 10 is famous for many things: the best transit access in the state, your favorite local restaurant, coffee shops worthy of your caffeine addiction, and of course the @wedge.live Cat Tour! I hope to see you tomorrow at 6pm at Mueller Park for the 8th (!!!) annual Cat Tour.

Today, federal agents come into our city with a military style presence. Our community showed up to care for one another. I know you’ll continue to be in the streets, standing up for our immigrant neighbors, bearing witness, and telling agents of cruelty to leave.

After a powerful day of organizing, the Ward 10 Convention ended with us in first place with 52% of the delegates. This win is a testament to our transformative work together over the last 4 years and the power of our vision of a city where everyone has what they need to thrive.

I’m so honored to be endorsed by my friend and colleague @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social! Emily and I have worked across our differences to achieve important wins for Minneapolis residents. Ward 10 Delegates, I hope you’ll vote for me at Convention tomorrow.

My team and I will be working to print tshirts for our convention tomorrow. Join us from 6-7:30pm at Centro Nicollet. Sign up at aishaforward10.com/events

I was 7 years old when my family learned our then-undocumented parent had a breast tumor. Without urgent treatment we couldn’t afford, she had limited time before it became cancer. Healthcare coverage for undocumented Minnesotans, regardless of their age, is personal to me 🧵

I’m so honored to be the only union-endorsed candidate running to represent Ward 10. Earning the support of @seiumn.bsky.social and @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social means the world to me. I’m proud to unapologetically fight for working people who make this city run every single day.

Ward 10 hotties: it’s okay if you don’t want to commit in your love life. I just want you to commit to caucusing for me at 6:30pm tonight. Sign up at aishaforward10.com/commit 🌻💛

I’m so thrilled to share our campaign has been endorsed by Sunrise Twin Cities ! Together, we can build more connected and resilient communities at the local level. Excited to see you at your Ward 10 caucus location tonight!

Happy Caucus Day! Ward 10, please show up to caucus at 6:30pm tonight! Whittier + the Wedge (north of W 28th St) caucuses at Whittier Elementary at 2620 Grand Ave S. South Uptown, East Bde Maka Ska, and the Wedge (south of W 28th St) caucuses at Queermunity at 3036 Hennepin Ave.

I’m so proud to be endorsed by @outfrontmn.bsky.social! Local government is the first line of service and the last line of defense. As your Councilmember, I’m ready to continue to fight back against the federal administration to protect our trans and LGBTQIA+ neighbors who are under attack.

It’s an honor to be endorsed by my colleagues @elliottpayne.org, @robinformpls.com, CM Ellison, CM Osman, @jchavezmpls.bsky.social, and @aurinmpls.bsky.social! They represent the best of what Minneapolis has to offer. Together, we’ve delivered the most productive year in recent Council history!

So excited to be invited back by our favorite Ward 10 cat icon to talk about my re-election campaign! Check out my interview with @wedge.live 🌻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KQR...

TakeAction builds powerful coalitions and organizes people. I’m proud to support their work, and honored to receive the endorsement of TakeAction’s members. I’m looking forward to continuing our partnership in building a government and economy that works for all of us.

Like so many of you, I find the systems of capitalism and national oppression that dictate haves and have-nots to be unacceptable. I’m proud to be a socialist, I’m proud to represent our values as Council Vice President, and I’m proud to be endorsed by @twincitiesdsa.bsky.social!

The first campaign I worked on in Minneapolis was Congresswoman Omar’s State House race in 2016. I went on to manage her campaign for Congress — watching her make history remains an inspiration. I’m honored to call her a friend and governing partner. Thank you, @ilhanmn.bsky.social for your support!

I’m proud to endorse Senator @omarfatehmn.com to be our next Mayor because Minneapolitans deserve a Mayor who works as hard as they do. Omar knows that to deliver effective solutions for residents requires partnership, not picking up a veto pen.

Caucuses are only 6 days away!! I’m the #1 target for Republican-funded PACs dumping $600K to buy local elections. I’ve stood shoulder-to-shoulder with working people in Ward 10, I hope you’ll stand with me. Sign up to caucus on Tuesday, April 8, 6:30pm: aishaforward10.com/commit

I’m so excited to kick off my re-election campaign with y’all tomorrow! See you at Eat Street Crossing on 2819 Nicollet in the Prince Room from 1-3pm!! Details: www.mobilize.us/aishachughta...

Just last October, the Police Department used City resources to hold a Catholic Mass. During Ramadan in 2023 and again in 2024, Chief Brian O’Hara used City resources to host an iftar in the community.

Council President @elliottpayne.org lays out the parallels between the control that the wealthy have on both our federal and City government so well in this incredible op-ed. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

I’m so excited to join @omarfatehmn.com at Bob’s Java Hut this afternoon and hear more about his vision for Minneapolis! See you there!

The hypocrisy of a Minneapolis Mayor quite literally mismanaging, defunding, and dismantling LGBTQIA+ equity (and specifically Trans equity) work under his jurisdiction and then turning around and going to the 19 Bar reopening to posture being an ally to the queer community is so sickening

Join us on March 16 from 1pm - 3pm at Eat Street Crossing for my re-election Kickoff! I’ve fought shoulder-to-shoulder with working-class people at City Hall for 3 years. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together & I’m just getting started. Register: www.mobilize.us/aishachughta...

Today, a recipient of a City contract came into our chambers, disrupted a meeting, and escalated to the point of threatening Councilmembers and yelling homophobic remarks to an LGBTQIA+ member. This is unacceptable.

Thank you for having me, @swaempls.bsky.social! I’m so grateful for all the work you do to advocate for progressive policies and organize your neighbors ✨🫡

Hi, I'm Aisha. I'm a renter from Whittier, I come to local government through the labor and immigrants rights movements, & I have the privilege of representing Ward 10 on the Minneapolis City Council. I’m excited to announce I’m running for re-election.🧵 aishaforward10.com/donate
