major update, Marvina Haynes, founder of MN Wrongfully Convicted Judical Reform & former ward 4 council candidate, is running with Tara Widner, for Vice Chair of SD59 DFL tomorrow @ convention.
this is the LEADERSHIP the Northside needs & deserves. plz spread the word to ur North Minneapolis folks.
i am being told the 2026 nominations committee did not pick proven dedicated ppl to be in leadership, and chose ppl that have βbusiness and finance experienceβ and want to run SD59 like a business.
the blue heron slate is a very diverse group of dedicated North community organizers.
i know! i grew up on the border of ep and Chanhassen!! π³π¬

π’GOOD ABORTION NEWS KLAXXON!! π’
Luxembourg becomes (headline correction the third) country to put abortion rights in its constitution! While I am mindful that "legal" and "constitutional" do not equal "accessible" abortion, I will take ANY good abortion news.

A bill with $40 million in rent relief is headed to the Minnesota Senate floor next week. Lead author @lindseyportmn.bsky.social crafted a bill that addresses the urgency of the moment.
Plus, the bill includes my provision to extend pre eviction notices from 14 to 30 days temporarily.
here is the video from this housing βjusticeβ forum. plz watch:

I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis.
Sadly, weβre barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto.
Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.

sheβs also making a v vapid accusation that the Hmong community was left out of organizing against ICE, when the woman did ABSOLUTELY nothing to support her community. she hid in her lavish parkway home while her neighbors were being abducted.

MPS teachers are still teaching our students in-person and online in google meets (until April 6) w/ zero input to our working conditions, raising thousands of dollars for rent relief, providing mental health supports for our students, & delivering food 2x a week.
