I’m proud of the work the staff did to make this happen. It’s definitely an asset to our beautiful East Lake Street Corridor and Longfellow. 2/.

This morning, we joined Public Works at Savory Bake House. They are hosting a city-owned parklet. We enjoyed coffee, pastries, and great conversations. These parklets are seasonal public spaces that make the city more livable and walkable. 1/

At a time when our Trans and LGBTQIA+ neighbors are being targeted, we will not allow these acts to divide us, and we will not allow these senseless acts to perpetuate more hate. 2/.

Minneapolis is a welcoming and loving place. Gun violence and senseless acts of hate have no place in our society. Let me be very clear, violence can and is perpetrated by anyone. The identity of the shooter does not matter. 1/.

The lives of our future generations depend on it. 3/.

These weapons and acts of violence have no place in Minneapolis or anywhere. My heart goes out to all the families, students and community members who were heavily impacted by this. I’m committed to coming together with all levels of government to address this. 2/.

I’m horrified by the mass shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic Church/School. Our children, educators, families, residents and loved ones should never have to experience senseless acts of violence like this. 1/.

RT @CityMinneapolis: There is an active police situation at Annunciation Church, 509 W. 54th St. There is no active threat to the community….

If anyone has any information, please come forward to the police so we can bring justice to those who were heavily impacted today. To submit a tip anonymously, you can call CrimeStoppers of Minnesota at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). 2/.

I’m devastated to hear that 1 person was killed, and 6 others were injured on 29th and Clinton near Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. This reckless violence is unacceptable and has no place in Minneapolis. Our community, students, and residents deserve to feel safe and secure. 1/.

This includes a pavement painting project, new murals, traffic bollards, and midblock crosswalks. I want to thank city staff and the community for their ongoing work on this. 2/.

The Minneapolis Health Department, Little Earth Residents Association, and the Native Youth Arts Collective are partnering to improve pedestrian safety near Little Earth and 18th Ave South between E. 24th and E. 25th Street. 1/

It was great to see the Grand Opening of the Pillsbury Creative Commons this weekend (35th and Chicago). This expanded arts and economic development hub will support local BIPOC youth enter the media industry. I was proud to author a budget amendment supporting this project.
