I'm proud to represent Yes 4 Minneapolis, a coalition of residents, neighbors, businesses, organizations, and families across the city who are saying YES to creating a safe Minneapolis for all of us. Together, across race and ZIP code, we're using the power of our local democracy to change the Minneapolis charter, creating a comprehensive public health approach to public safety, so that all of us, no matter what we look like or which neighborhood we live in, have an equal opportunity to live safely and securely. The City Charter was written in 1961 by the Police Federation, forcing us to build on a broken system of violent, armed police-only response. Our plan moves city leaders toward a comprehensive, higher standard in public safety, where qualified professionals, like mental health responders and social workers, as well as police, can work to make all our communities safer. We can align our city's safety infrastructure with our values. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for campaign updates, and vote YES on Question 2!

It's finally Friday! That means it's time to sit back, drink some dayquil, argue about the best breakfast bread item (it's the croissant) and talk about whatever your heart desires.
