We connected with other major power players, including members from LIUNA Local 563, Hope Community Inc.’s Parks and Power, and the local Boys & Girls Club. We shared our visions for change, identifying areas of potential overlap! We are feeling energized!!!

When I served on the Park Board, I eliminated fees on programs & activities because no kid should be turned away from our parks because they can’t pay.
Great talking to @WedgeLIVE about how we made North Commons Water Park free & why we should be reducing these barriers to joy.
Great to join @TheRevAl on @PoliticsNation to discuss my office's settlement with Havebrook - a hedge-fund owned landlord that refused to make basic repairs.
We sued them and got $2.2M in restitution and $2M in rent forgiveness for tenants. This was a great outcome for folks.
We had leaders go into breakouts to workshop YP issues cuts in three different buckets that need funding - Transportation to commute kids to & from the parks, community engagement program to raise awareness about the programs being offered by the Mpls parks
