When you run Pride and Planned Parenthood ad campaigns, it negates anything about remaining “neutral.” This is simply capitulating in advance and consciously deciding protecting our immigrant community is too much. We need leadership in these moments, not bs excuses.

We’re disappointed in Metro Transit’s refusal to join the City’s All Are Welcome Ad Campaign meant to help immigrants, refugees, and our community know their rights. 1/
Dear Council Members and General Manager This week, our offices were notified by the City’s administration that Metro Transit declined to participate in the City’s All Are Welcome ad campaign. We are aware that COO Anderson Kelliher has been in communication with General Manager Kandaras, including submitting appeals, all of which have been denied. We believe this is an erroneous decision rooted in fear and a politicization of fundamental rights. We are formally requesting the Metropolitan Council to get involved in this matter and to take meaningful steps to support our immigrant neighbors. Metro Transit cites that its main reasoning is based on its desire to remain politically neutral and allow riders to take transit without being “confronted” by “issues of economic,political, or social debate.” The goal of the campaign is no different than advertising how to register to vote or apply for a city grant. If informing residents of the role of theCity, services provided, and their fundamental rights is“confronting” residents with politics, then several MetroTransit campaigns would be in violation of Metro Transit’s own standards. As government entities, we have a responsibility to share information with residents regarding City services and the rights of residents, regardless of the political climate. We must be cautious not to hinder good governance out of fear of how something may be politicized or mischaracterized by others. Transparency, communication,and outreach are not political acts; they are how an accessible government should function. This duty is especially important for our immigrant communities, who are too often marginalized, face language barriers, and are forgotten in outreach. Our immigrant neighbors deserve a transit system that is welcoming, safe, and secure. Avoiding these responsibilities due to concerns of perception undermines public trust and leaves vulnerable residents without the information they need to navigate their communities safely a

As a first time City Convention delegate I’m extremely disappointed in the DFL’s decision to revoke the endorsement of Omar Fateh. I was proud and excited to be a part of the democratic process and represent my Latinx community, who are often underrepresented in these spaces.

28 party insiders met privately and voted to overturn our endorsement.

Let me be clear, we’re still in this fight. And we’re going to win.
