City of Minneapolis

WE ONCE AGAIN ARE IN THE NATIONAL NEWS FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

Amir Locke is dead, and the same tired leadership - with the same tired approaches and promises is all our Great City has to show for it.

And once again, no one stands up to take responsibility.

VOTE 'YES' ON BALLOT QUESTION 01 [PASSED!]

Assembled by the Charter Commission, the “Government Structure Work Group” report summary (Dec. 15, 2020) explained in some detail that our city “lacks strong accountability, is overly complex, and highly inefficient”. It is well past time that the City Council agreed to a more purely legislative role in policymaking.

Many people still feel comforted by the presence of police, so we must address how policing and the internal structures of traditional policing need to change. I want to talk about the precedence for these changes and make sure that the new model of safety is validated and one which has overwhelming support from black and brown communities, as well as the city at large, through a fully realized 'Citizen's Assembly on Public Safety' where all participate.

VOTE 'YES' ON BALLOT QUESTION 03 [PASSED!]

We are not far from a future where your average blue-collar worker making $33k a year will find it hard to find an affordable apartment for themselves and their child. We need another tool in our city’s “housing toolbox” to address the housing needs of all. Minneapolis must rise to the challenge of making rents stable and predictable for all.

Our campaign is fighting for a powerful set of policies that will reshape housing in our city, minimize inequality in city services, and reverse the negative impacts that growth has on our city neighborhoods. By advocating for new funding – we will lead in addressing our city’s housing and homeless needs – and do the hard work to ensure everyone can have a proper space to call ‘HOME’. AND WE’RE NOT STOPPING THERE. AJ’S PLATFORM CALLS FOR: Renter protections – like putting limits on rental increases; A new model for public safety that embraces and prioritizes the well-being of everyone in the city; Local ‘Green New Deal’ incentives and small business support; A neighborhood supported and approved public park and memorial at ‘George Floyd Square’; and, (Re)Engagement with every Neighborhood in the city.
