Great to celebrate the Minneapolis NAACP and their important work in our community last weekend with Rep Esther Agbaje @elliottpayne.bsky.social@brianaroselee.bsky.social. Thank you for an awesome evening!
Thank you Council Members @elliottpayne.bsky.social@jchavezmpls.bsky.social and Jamal Osman for finding this solution to save Agate's downtown shelter. Minneapolis cannot afford to lose this critical transitional housing and shelter services. I look forward to voting in support of this next week.
Agate Housing announced last month it would have to close its homeless shelter and food shelf downtown without at least $3 million for critical repairs.
That’s my Council President, demanding that MPD’s coaching practice be given a real and immediate investigation. Not waiting 10 years for the court-ordered process. Yes. Thank you @elliottpayne.bsky.socialwww.axios.com/local/twin-c...
The city auditor will review whether MPD's coaching practices put the city at legal or financial risk.
Drivers have @robin4mpls.bsky.social@elliottpayne.bsky.social for keeping it on the agenda despite enormous pressure to drop it. What a difference a strong Council can make.
Last summer CM @elliottpayne.bsky.social, Jeremiah Ellison and I added $3 million to the Behavioral Crisis Response contract. I support public safety beyond policing because every single person in Mpls deserves to be safe, no matter the color of their skin or the neighborhood they live in. 🧵
Since 2021, the city of Minneapolis has expanded its Behavioral Crisis Response unit to include dozens of staff working 24/7.
Savannah should be alive today. The rise in transphobia and anti-trans rhetoric has real consequences. As a City we must do more to combat transphobia so that every Trans person can feel safe and supported in our community.
