Four years ago, I first ran for City Council because I saw the ways our communities were too often ignored by people in power.
Today, I’m proud to say I've stood by my promise to be a voice for the people and to organize alongside you.

No contract, no coffee!
I stand in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org on strike! Starbucks should stop union busting and meet the demands of their workers. One day’s worth of profits is all that is needed to settle this contract.

As Trump tears apart the federal government, we need City Hall to step up and lead with competent, data driven solutions that meet the day to day needs of our communities.
After hearing from my Ward 2 constituents, I’ll be bringing forward 12 budget amendments to do just that.

Trump’s attempt to end Temporary Protective Status for Somali Minnesotans on a racist whim is illegal and cruel. Our Somali friends and neighbors belong here.

Great to join the Council of Graduate Students for lunch. We discussed the lack of affordable and culturally-specific groceries in Dinkytown, Marcy Holmes & Como, how to limit the presence of ICE on campus, and the MIX development on the East Bank. Thank you COGS for hosting me!

“It is incredibly frustrating we are not getting participation from MPD,” Timmerman said.
Timmerman said the delays are part of the reason why the estimated cost to contract with an outside law firm to assist with the investigation has doubled from $90,000 to about $200,000.

Today is the 10th anniversary of the murder of Jamar Clark by MPD. His mother Irma Burns spoke with MPR:
"It still feels like yesterday. It don’t never click in that this thing is real and so you have to be jerked, in a sense, back to reality that is real."

That’s why I’m excited to announce that I’ll be bringing forward a proposal to formally establish a Democratic Socialist Caucus within the City Council — and I will be running to lead it.

Last week, 65,000+ residents voted to elect a democratic socialist mayor. All Council races that had a DSA-endorsed candidate won by overwhelming margin. These results send a clear message: people want leaders who will fight for working-class communities, not corporate interests.

2/ The tl;dr is, it’s good to have a hot Council race AND a good organizer Council Member. The 3 biggest surges were in @robin4mpls.bsky.social’s 2nd Ward: precincts 1/2/4 (Marcy/East Bank/Dinkytown) up 25%+. 2021 was a COVID year … but 300+ added votes went strongly to Robin. (Map below for ref.)

A testament to Robin's huge ground game especially talking to students. I was around for the competitive 2021 race and the field operation was impressive then, this was on another level

The corporate landlords in Minneapolis came for @robin4mpls.bsky.social because she puts PEOPLE before PROFIT.
LP is so happy that another one of our housing champions has been reelected to continue the fight for housing justice.

There is so much at stake today. I am up against $129,000 from conservative and Republican donors. I have a clear vision to protect our communities from Trump, to improve affordability and address key issues like food insecurity. We need you now more than ever.
