Now is the time for bold climate leaders, not business as usual. As your next Park Board Commissioner, I know that a park system serving all people needs environmentalism rooted in class struggle for renters, families, and workers. #MichaelForParks #MplsParks #EnviromentalJustice

Rounding out the weekend of campaigning with an apartment doorknock. There’s nothing like talking with renters about the slate for change on the mayoral ballot, and a park system that works for renters and workers!

Parkways in Minneapolis were meant to be "ribbons of park" for people to easily access and enjoy our natural environment. I think it's time for us to check in, gather some data, and ensure that our parkways are truly serving residents and the environment!

We won our court case because renters should always be included in the democratic stewardship of our parks!

We won!

Following three weeks of legal proceedings and over five hours in court, the judge found Wayzata-based Minneapolis landlord John Wall in violation of the law on three counts, resulting in a $1,450 fine.
