Thank you to SWAE member @micwalker for this excellent Op-Ed explaining the importance of the City's negotiations on our utilities franchise agreement with Xcel & Centerpoint.

Help make sure the City holds them accountable to our clean energy goals. ⬇️ https://t.co/T6GuM2QHov

Donations for residents who lost their Agate housing from the garage fire on Lyndale Avenue are being collected at Washburn Library.

Jason Garcia — aka "Hot Dog Larry Jacobs" — says we haven't yet hit the $1200 threshold that triggers consumption of all 12 hot dogs. That's not good. Keep donating.

Congratulations to the newly unionized workers at Cafe Ceres. Great to have a union coffee shop in Southwest Minneapolis.

For the last month, we've been stretching our reserves to serve our neighbors. Today we are once again open for tax-deductible donations!

Join us this Thursday!☀️🌽🥕🥦

The @epni_urbanfarm project is one of the initiatives that didn't receive expected State funding due to the chaotic end of the MN leg session. While they work on alternate funding sources, let's step up and do our share!

I'm no labor relations expert, but restaurant owners' vigorous opposition to a labor standards board implies the necessity of a labor standards board.

This afternoon, I enjoyed talking to my neighbors (including Finn) about what we are doing at the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office to make our criminal legal system more equitable and our communities safer. Thank you @swaempls!

[Mike Norton @NortonMpls]

Appreciated hearing Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty speak about how her office is leveraging youth intervention to prevent crime at an event hosted by @swaempls this afternoon.

We’re fortunate to have someone like Mary serving the community.

The urgent need for more affordable housing! The county (yours truly) shared the stage with the legislature, the city, a land bank (LBTC), a developer (@BelieveInHome), to talk about housing. I learned from all the participants. Thank you for the invitation.

The Minnesota Labor and Industry report released today shows that metro area rideshare drivers are making a median $13.63 and mean $14.48 per hour. The Minneapolis minimum wage is $15.57 per hour.

If our small local businesses can follow the law, certainly big corporations 1/2

[SWAE Mpls @swaempls]
