Part 2 on the Parameters - this time the "Administrative Planning" parameters! I also dip into my concerns about the lack of community involvement within these parameters - especially regarding "Building Utilization" - without the School Board or community input.

I am honored to be a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense candidate! Common-sense gun safety laws help keep our children safe. Gun violence is the number one cause of death for Americans under 18. We must do everything we can to reduce this epidemic affecting our youth! Our kids deserve safety everywhere!

Come celebrate with MPS School Board D3 candidate Shannon Gibney at Powderhorn Park this Saturday (May 9, 1-4 pm) for her official Campaign Cookout! There will be food, dancing, artists, kid activities, and more. Meet Shannon and talk about what you want to see next for the district! RSVP here!

Hung out at the Senate today to support gun safety legislation. It is past time for our lawmakers to actually address gun violence through comprehensive measures, like the ones in Sen Mohamed's Gun Violence Prevention package.

Please join us at the capitol on Wednesday, May 6, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, to rally for transformative public education funding statewide! ✊🏽✨✨ Register at the Linktree listed. We need as many folks there as possible.

Hope to see you there! 🤩👍🏽✨ This’ll be a fun, community-centered celebration.

Thank you delegates! Being DFL endorsed means the world to me! Now we have a race to win!

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...

I admire Council Member Chavez’s strong, steady leadership in Southeast Minneapolis and am so grateful for how he showed up during Operation Metro Surge. Our city has greatly benefited from his leadership. I am thankful for his support and look forward to working with him to strengthen our 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. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Had a great time yesterday at SD63 convention! Loved connecting with our electeds and D5 constituents. SD63 delegates brought so much energy. Getting excited about next weekend’s city convention!!!

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.

Really looking forward to this event and getting to be in community with delegates! Hope to see you there!

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.

Yesterday I spoke at the Capitol to tell legislators what we know is true - we have every ingredient to create the best education system possible for our Minneapolis kids. The one thing we are missing? The money. It’s time for the wealthiest among us to pay their fair share! Invest in our kids!

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

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.

We want to hear from you! Come meet the candidates and ask us all your most pressing school board questions! Nothing better than getting to chat about our public schools with passionate neighbors. Your voices matter to us, deeply, and we want to make space to engage with delegates. Hope to see you!

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

I was honored to speak at the No Kings Day rally at St. Paul College yesterday. I gave brief remarks on the vital role schools play in the anti-fascist resistance during and after the ICE invasion. Thanks to everyone who came out!

I'm grateful to CM Whiting and all the Ward 11 constituents who showed up today to have this difficult conversation. I shared with the councilmember what I have continually heard from other MPS caregivers and educators - we need our leaders to understand the dire situation our schools face.

It's going to take partnership at the state level to address the budget shortfalls of MPS, which is why I am so honored to be endorsed by Senator Mohamed, who is currently fighting for bills that bring needed investment into our district.

I value Council Member Stevenson’s ( @sorenwithward8.bsky.social ) bold and kind leadership in our community and am so grateful to have his support. I look forward to the work we can do together to strengthen our schools and communities.

Fun morning talking to families about our public schools!
