Listening session tonight with Superintendent Dr. Lisa Sayles-Adams. Very grateful MFT Teachers were able to come to agreement with MPS and looking forward to ESPs next! Now is the time for every level of government to step up and do more in supporting Minneapolis Public Schools.
Council President @MplsWard1 and I went to a meeting with leaders from @ISAIAHMN (Black Barbershop Coalition, Muslim Coalition, and the Young Adult Coalition). I was proud to speak about our encampment response policy ideas and ways we can ensure we are protecting renters.

Council President Payne makes the key point I have not seen in coverage: Drivers in the lowest quartile in the DLI report average just over $10 an hour, vs the report average of $13.XX. The Council is responsible to ensure "not an average wage, but a minimum wage."
"Our goal is not to ensure a guaranteed average wage; our goal is to ensure a guaranteed _minimum_ wage." @MplsWard1 puts on his engineer hat and teaches the City Council a lesson (not just about data, but about workers and dignity, tbh).
This isn’t about guaranteeing an average wage for workers, it’s about guaranteeing a *minimum* wage.
My comments today about our ordinance making sure Transportation Rideshare workers are able to make the City’s minimum wage. We are continuing to work with the State as they advance the issue at the legislature.
A great conversation tonight at the @WindomPark neighborhood meeting. Really grateful that they host hybrid meetings at Parker Skyview so it’s accessible for everyone.
A great turnout tonight for the Waite Park Community Council annual meeting. We’re lucky in Ward 1 to have such involved neighborhoods!
The Minnesota Labor and Industry report released today shows that metro area rideshare drivers are making a median $13.63 and mean $14.48 per hour. The Minneapolis minimum wage is $15.57 per hour. If our small local businesses can follow the law, certainly big corporations 1/2
Two years since Minneapolis established its behavioral crisis response program, the unit has responded to about 20,000 calls via 911 with zero injuries to service recipients. Check out some reflections from @ElliottForWard1 and @jeremiah4north ⤵️ cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…
@LineaPalmisano @ElliottForWard1 "They've done this experiment on the back of workers. It's time to stop making our marginalized workers the subjects of corporate experimentation," @ElliottForWard1 says.
Here with @UnidosMN @ISAIAHMN @SEIU26 - For the future we deserve, Minneapolis needs a city-coordinated plan for ⚡️ Clean energy in every house & apartment 💪🏼 Union jobs for every community 🌞 Clean air for every resident, no exceptions We can do this!!! #WinTogetherMN
Speaking today with @MplsWard7 and @MplsWard9 at Mercado Central about the City Council’s commitment to implementing our Climate Equity Plan and continuing to build on our $10 million investment in climate action.
